All praise is due to Allah, the Rabb of the creation; and may Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his honorable household and all his companions.

To proceed:

These are brief notes on fasting (in Ramadhaan), its ruling and the different categories of people in regards to it, plus additional beneficial points.  This is presented in a summarized format.

• Fasting is to worship Allah, The Exalted, by refraining from everything that nullifies the fast, from the break of dawn until sunset.

• Observing the fast during the month of Ramadhaan is one of the great five Pillars of Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) said:

“Islam has been built upon five pillars: to testify that there is no god worthy of being worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the Salaah,  give the Zakat, to observe Saum (the fast) during Ramadhan and to perform Hajj to the Sacred House.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
