While giving commands regarding fasting, the Quran makes special mention of Dua (remembering God). “When My servants ask you about Me, say that I am near. I respond to the call of one who calls, whenever he calls to Me: let them, then, respond to Me, and believe in Me, so that they may be rightly guided.” (The Quran, 2:186)

God save us from such worshippers.” As he spoke, his tone and manner exuded hatred and scorn.
