Fasting of the Heart:
The understanding of fasting among most people is to abstain from matooke,posho porridge bread, fruit, and meat from sunrise to sunset. But the meaning of fasting and its goal and the greatness of fasting lies in the heart fasting from evil and abandoning the corruptions of pride and jealousy. How can the stomach fast and not the heart? How can one who has evil and false beliefs?
Among the signs of the righteous in Ramadaan is the smile, good character, gentleness, visiting, returning greetings and maintaining good family relations.
