Fasting is a culture. The gist of this culture is self-discipline or self-control. A faithful person is one who adopts the culture of discipline by choice.

The practice of fasting enables us to observe a life of a shakir, that is, one who is thankful for the blessings that one receives.

The purpose of fasting is to inculcate the spirit of shukr in the heart of the believers. One who possesses the spirit of shukr will certainly follow all other teachings of Islam.

The life of a believer in this world is one of fortitude and forbearance, limited as it is to the enjoyment of whatever is allowed by God and avoidance of whatever is forbidden by Him.
