As a Christian, I agree. I was raised Catholic, and although I no longer practice in the same way now as when I was younger, the Ramadan fast and the Christian observance of Lent share many of the same particulars, both internal and external.

Some additional points about Eid al Fitr: it is a day of celebrations, to celebrate the triumph of full month of fasting, worshipping God, and conquering your nafs. It is the day where Muslims are absolved of our sins after a month of fasting, the day where we return to 'fitrah' or the natural state of creations, free of sins. Fasting is forbidden/haram on Eid al Fitr and the Prophet himself instructed us to be happy on this day, by praising God (takbir), wearing perfumes, our best clothes and saying congratulatory wishes to our Muslim community

As a Muslism it is great to watch a video like this as a reminder to myself. Inshallah we all are able to better ourselves in a manner best befitting by our lord. Ameen.

Fasting is a form of the punishment forcing to submit. Sunni (Farsi word: سلطنتی or سلطانی) means royal lineage or monarchy. Hashem is a title in Farsi حاکم, it means the ruler or governor for a particular time and place. Hashemite is (حاکمان) the collection of the governors. The assassination of prophet Mohammad and the massacre of Karbala which was planned and executed by the Hashem of that time Yazid (same as Yazidis) made them the landlord of Kaaba in Mecca, it was owned by prophet Mohammad and his brothers. Shia شاهد witnesses [of assassination of the prophet and the Karbala massacre] was born. The current Hashem can be seen in KZbin video "Documentary on the two holy mosques" at 1:52 time stamped.

[@Dorakuwel]

@ To be fair the Muslims are not exactly fasting during Ramadan. Sure they skip lunch, but they feast while the sun is down & this can lead to many health problems. Many Muslims just sleep during the day & stay up all night gorging themselves. This is why food prices go right up around Ramadan, demand is so high. Moderation of food consumption is important.

@ that's a very narrow of not ignorant opinion. first off, islam comes from the root word slm...which the word submit is derived from. submit and surrender to the one God. its hike acceptance not in a negative way you seem to phrase it. secondly, how can it be a punishment when there are so many exceptions like pregnancy, sickness, travel...etc and all one has to do is give breakfast or money instead of fasting. to further prove that point, 23:62 We never require of any soul more than what it can afford. And with Us is a record which speaks the truth. None will be wronged. further more, 2:256 Let there be no compulsion in religion.....As in free will, free to fast or not to fast. and no set punishment for those who do not fast. lastly, proof in in the pudding...millions of muslims fast and do not regard or feel it as punishment. on the contrary we feel it's a blessing

[@fire.smok3]

It's a small detail but thank you for translating "nafs" as "self/ego" and not "soul". This is an extremely common mistake in translation, but there is actually a difference in Islamic terminology between the lower or worldly self which is what makes up our base physical desires as well as usually being the source of selfishness and self-preservation, and this part of us is mortal and dies when our physical body dies. Meanwhile the soul or "rūh" is kind of our higher spiritual essence that is actually immortal and will never perish, since after our physical self dies we have consciousness both in the grave and in the eternal Afterlife, be it Heaven or Hell. The soul is where our higher sense of awareness, intellect, morality, faith, etc. is from. If you're familiar familiar Freudian terminology you could compare the nafs/self to the id and the rūh/soul to the supego. In the Koran if you're reading it in Arabic you'll notice the word nafs is almost always used in a negative light.

[@save_sudan_and_palestine]

Not Always Nafs is negative: (˹Allah will say to the righteous,˺ “O tranquil soul!) [89:27]

I prefer to use the world self for nafs in my conversations but I will add that it contains more than what an English speaker will understand from the world self. Tbh, the world self-ego is the best one that fits here.

That is not totally true.. there are many types of al Nafs in Islam. 3 Types in Quran, 5 Types in some branches of Al Sufi Islam. They could be negative or positive. Your description of al nafs is more like the description which is used in some Arabic dialects.

[@musamusashi]

Ruh is better translate with Spirit, since it is the Divine blow, the highest essence of the human being, the Divine image in which we are created. While our soul, or nafs, can be trained toward unity with the Divine ruh, if left unchecked may plumber to incarnate our lower beastly nature.

I am a Hindu and I have read the Quran and the Bible. The concept of soul in all the three religions as contained in the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads , the Holy Quran and the Holy Bible are strikingly similar as described in the book 'One God Many Names' with sub title 'We are Children of One God'. In this context fasting to purify the soul is important. This is the very purpose of Ramadan fasting. Fasting is said to inculcate a sense of fraternity and solidarity with the needy and the hungry and a sign of obedience to God.It serves the purpose of cleansing the inner soul. The same concept is found in Hinduism and Christianity.

I’ve fasted 24 hours a week for 20 plus years and do it for both health as well as spiritual reasons, but the main reason I do it is to develop spiritual or “inner” freedom. Think of the spirit as more or less equivalent to the will as opposed to mind and body. Just as you need to exercise both the body and the mind to keep them strong and healthy, so must you exercise the will for the same reason. Fasting is one of the best ways to do this, since hunger is one of the most constant and powerful of our desires. I definitely do not fast because I think pleasure is bad. Indeed, food tastes the best after my fasts. Eating compulsively is one of the best ways to destroy the pleasure and goodness of eating.

Muslims just need to be careful not to eat too much food during Ramadan. Daily feasting during the dark hours is a standard practise for Muslims who can afford it.

@@dostpektas9761 sure np. Grew up in the romanian orthodox church and it's customs are very similar to greek's and Russian's. Pious Christians usually fast every Wednesday and Friday and of course including thr biggest yearly fasting periods before a major holy day so the church has chosen a few days that usually overlap with Wednesday and Friday to declare absolution from the fasting rule when it comes to fish. Fish is a symbol associated with Jesus Christ as he's mentioned in the Bible numerous times eating it thus it's consider a custom to bring the Christian closer to Christ by respecting all these customs.

185 (It was) the month of Ramadan in which the Recital was sent down as guidance for mankind, and as evident explanations of the guidance and the criterion. So whoever of you witnesses the month, then he shall fast it. But whoever is sick or on a journey, then (he must fast) a period of other days. Allah wants ease for you and does not want hardship for you, and that you should complete the period, and that you should glorify Allah for having guided you, and so that you may give thanks.[ Surah : Al-Baqarah ]

Thanks a lot for this!! Just one minor thing: while most Sunnis fast from dawn to sunset, for Shias it’s from dawn to dusk. Ramadan Mubarak!

Thank you. You touched on the most important and relevant points, as always. There is one more, which is considered by many learned scholars as a hidden treasure. According to hadith, Allah rewards believers upto 700 times for their good deeds, except for fasting. According to a hadith qudsi, Allah says: "Fasting is Mine and it is I who give reward for it."
