I started fasting on Mondays and Thursdays from October because I want Allah ﷻ to answer my du’a, but now I feel like now I am also doing it so that Allah ﷻ forgives my sins, I learn to self control, learn patience, maintain my salah, earn rewards and improve my character

Yeah. It's amazing how it works. Sometimes you might start something for a dunya based reason. Then as you continue with it, your intention starts to become nobler and sincere and totally different to why you started in the first place.

[@Tlala7]

fasting really helps in getting yourself away from your sins. it has strong power to reflect upon your self and changing bad habits Like talking too much without any reason etc.

I wanted to fast on mondays and thursdays but I was worried about not being able to be consistent with them and then I realised these are the whispers of shaytan to keep me from doing good. And I started to fast on September this year and alhamdulilah it has been easy and I see myself looking forward to these days.

[@mist0]

Hi What are the benefits And what changes you see Thank you 🙇

[@thehabiba2697]

@@mist0 Hi 👋 the benefits are that on these days u feel more connected to Allah aza wajal...because u know you really don't have to do this but u choose to do it purely for the sake of earning his pleasure. There is more khushu in your salahs, u consciously make the effort to refrain from idleness like watching TV or KZbin ect. It might seem hard at first but once u start u will see yourself looking forward to these days and they will occupy a special place in your heart inshaAllah ♥

Jazakallah for this. I have been fasting on Mondays and Thursdays since before Ramadan , I’ve missed a few weeks here and here. I’m trying really hard, it’s taught me self control, I feel at peace and my character is improving I’m not gossiping as much and really really trying to be a better person. Before it was hard now I see with this consistent fasting I can testify it’s true that your character starts improving more slowly but surely. Alhamdulillah May Allah keep us alive to do good deeds and keep improving In Shaa Allah Ameen Thuma Ameen

[@AT-eu4zu]

@@mohamadfazli5575 watch the video. You start fasting from bad habits like gossiping and things that are bad for you, you become more self aware because you are fasting so you tend to stay away from bad things a lot more. Remember he said fasting is not just staying away from food and drink it’s staying away from sin too... that’s how. And it’s not easy I have to fight my nafs sometimes I win sometimes I lose but I find since I’m fasting I’m becoming more self aware and improving a lot more.
