Ramadan’s fast requires sincere intention to accomplish it for Allah alone. It is also necessary to respect the rules which ensure the validity of the fast, as to stop eating and drinking before the appearance of the dawn, accomplishing the morning prayer at its time, avoiding everything that cancels fasting, such as voluntary vomiting, sexual intercourse, etc., and breaking the fast from sunset with dates or water.
Ramadan’s fast also includes recommendations and good manners, multiply acts of piety, such as reading the Koran, invocations, alms, etc., abstain from everything that is harmful, such as lies, slander, backbiting, anger, etc., and have good behavior with others. The fasting must also take care not to waste or exaggerate in food and drink when breaking the fast or morning meal.
Ramadan’s fast is a unique opportunity for the Muslim to reform and get closer to Allah. He must therefore take full advantage of it and seek to obtain divine forgiveness and the eternal reward.
