The Prayer Now application is keen to remind its users of the days and occasions of fasting because of the great benefits and virtues it brings, including:

 Fasting Is A great lesson in obeying Allah:

Allah has not given us a direct reason we fast, which is the first lesson it teaches us. We – Muslims – fast simply because Allah has ordered us to do so. 

Though, this doesn’t mean we are not to search for the benefits of fasting. On the contrary, we should do so, but what matters more than its benefits, is the reason we fast must always be because Allah ordered us to.

Fasting During Ramadan Is the Fourth pillar of Islam:

Fasting is the fourth pillar in Islam, which indicates its immense importance; as a person’s deen won’t be complete without fasting. A person’s journey with Islam is based on five basics that work together to make a person’s faith stronger.

Strengthening the spiritual bond with Allah:

Importance of Fasting that strengthens the believer’s spiritual bond with Allah through understanding that fasting is an act done only to worship Allah exactly as he wants to be worshiped. 

Our prophet (salla Allah alayhi wa sallam) said in Hadith Qudsy:

“Allah Almighty said, ‘Every deed of the son of Adam is for him, except for fasting. It is for Me, and I will reward it.

Aayat ul-Kursi: اللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلا نَوْمٌ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلا يَؤُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ Allaah!

Special gates to paradise:

Muslims who used to fast are distinct from everyone else on the day of judgment and have a special door through which they can enter heaven, and it’s called Al-Rayyaan. 

Our prophet has said,

“In Paradise, there is a gate called al-Rayyaan, through which those who used to fast will enter on the Day of Resurrection, and only they will enter it. It will be said, ‘Where are those who fasted?’ They will get up, and no one will enter it but them. When they have entered, it will be locked, and no one else will enter.”

Softening hearts towards the poor:

Fasting also aids in solving a social problem that many social critics have struggled with, which is how to melt the mountains keeping the rich and the poor from connecting.

This happens; because for once, everyone _and not just the poor- experiences hunger and thirst through fasting. In Ramadan, which is the fasting month in Islam, Muslims are supposed to do charity and give Zakat to other Muslim people.

To activate the fasting alert through the Prayer Now application

Open the application settings, then choose the Fasting Menu list, and from the bottom choose Settings and activate the days and occasions for which you need to be notified of fasting.
