Asalaamu 3alikum wa rahmatullahi Barakatuhu all Islamicans,
This is a grant opportunity for myself and you to benefit from our good health to fast the voluntary fasts on Mondays and Thursdays starting tomorrow inshaAllah. Tomorrow is MONDAY
I want bunch of Islamicans joining me while I fast inshaAllah!
There are numerous hadiths on the blessings of fasting and following the Sunnah of Prophet (sallahu walle wasalaam) and research done on benefits of Fasting. I know al ot of us grew up learning them..i dont feel its necessary for me to post 'em up..however I feel its important to emphasis..that there are many components of the article 'faith" a) having faith in your heart b) implementing it into action c) bringing it up on my tongues..'
and fasting to me satisfies the second component of faith, where we will be fasting for Allah azzwajal, as we know how much HE loves those who fasts and the smell of the believers breath..subhaAllah..so let us make the intention to fast tomorrow and gather as much as thawb we can while we got a chance to earn up hasanats...
Please type your name below to show you'll be fasting tomorrow. Remember to have something to eat for suhur.
For suhur- I"ll try to get up or i don't have had some tuna sandwich..I will be fine inshaAllahincase u want some solid proof..here..
