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.

And I started to fast on September this year and alhamdulilah it has been easy and I see myself looking forward to these days.

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 ♥

I started fasting sunat Monday and Thursday since October 2023.... i can feel a lot of differences especially with my digest system, i lost quite lot of weight and i am happy for that. i can maintain my weight too. i can easily control my appetite and i feel healthy. it seems like i have more tawakul to Allah too because , when it time to break fast, i eat whatever i have without demanding so much foods. to be honest, it is quite difficult to do this from the very begging, because it is not Ramadhan, plus, not everyone around you do fasting sunnat.. when they eat but you fasting . its quite challenging your iman too. Turn out, now i am "addicted" to this regularly fasting. Alhamdulillah. i hope i will keep up on this

As a follower of Christ I tend follow allot more Islam doctrines because they worship the true fallen God Satan or creator of this reality.

A good deed is written down after being multiplied by anywhere from 10 to 70 times. Means the least reward for one single good deed is 10. (Can be anywhere upto 70) So if u fast 3 times in a month, and if each fast is even written 10 times, these 3 fasts make u gain the sawaab for the whole month's fast. (3 fasts x 10 = 30 fasts) So if u keep on doing every month till ur death, then the reward will be of a lifetime.
