The Benefits of Fasting in Al-Islam (Part 2)

2:183 "O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may be conscious of yourself in the way Allah would have you be conscious of your self.

2:186“And when My slaves ask you concerning Me, then I am indeed near. I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me. So, let them respond to me with obedience and believe in Me,so that you’ll become capable of managing your affairs”.

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:  “There is no Muslim who calls upon Allah with words in which there is no sin or severing of family ties but Allah will give him one of three things: either He will answer his du’a soon, or He will store it up for him in the Hereafter, or He will remove something bad from him that is equivalent to what he is asking for.”
