Fasting and Thankfulness to God
The month of Ramadan in Islam is observed as a period of penitence and total fasting from dawn to dusk. (IV /62) Penitence, undoubtedly an important part of Islam, so permeates the entire Islamic system, that no Islamic act, including fasting, is devoid of this spirit. However, while enjoining fasting, the Qur’an tells us that its special significance in the month of Ramadan is thanks giving as well as penitence. It was in the month of Ramadan that the first revelations of the Quranic verses came down to the Prophet. It was a great blessing of God that He revealed this guidance in the form of the Qur’an so that it might be a true guide for man. That is why this month came to be held as one of thanks giving for the believers.
