When a person has elevated himself from the world by observing fast, God endows him with wisdom, which emanates from his lips. He is shown the ills of the world, and their remedies. He is brought safely to the abode of peace.
Fasting entails cutting oneself off from the world and turning to God; not in a physical sense, but having one's heart and mind continually directed towards God, whatever bodily activity one may be engaged in.
Abiding by the guidelines of fasting raises believers to a state of humility, truth and honesty.
The aim of fasting during Ramadan is to diminish a person's dependence on material things, so that he may elevate himself to a higher plane of devout living.
