The Joys of Ramadan | Dr. Shabir Ally & Dr. Safiyyah Ally

Dr. Safiyyah Ally begins by sharing a story about her classmate, who considered Ramadan punishment or torture. Dr. Shabir Ally explains that God is not a taskmaster. God prescribes fasting for us as a spiritual benefit. We can't see the inner soul to know what special nutrients it needs; only the Creator can tell us that. If we think of people training to climb the Mount Everest or training for the Olympics, we can see that hard things can be good and necessary for us to achieve important goals. So too with fasting. Fasting is a spiritual exercise that helps us draw close to God, since fasting is done only for the pleasure of God. A hadith describes two joys for the fasting person: the joy of breaking the fast and the joy of meeting the Creator.
