Page 28 - The Obligation of Fasting Ramadan

On page 28, Allah عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ mentions the obligation of fasting for the believers. Fasting, or As-Saum, is prescribed for them as it was for those who came before them, with the aim of fostering piety.

The believers are required to observe fasting for a fixed number of days during the month of Ramadan. However, those who are ill or on a journey can make up for missed days later, and those who find fasting difficult can choose to feed a poor person for each day missed.

The month of Ramadan holds special significance as it is when the Qur'an was revealed, providing guidance and clear proof for mankind. Allah عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ emphasises ease in fulfilling this obligation and encourages magnifying Him for His guidance.

Additionally, Allah عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ declares His nearness and responsiveness to the supplications of His slaves, urging them to obey and believe in Him for righteous guidance.
