Sem 3 Usrah - Fasting (Fifth Session)
Assalamualaikum everyone! For our Usrah session today, we did not have any live meeting because most of the sisters have exams to attend. Instead, we watched a video lecture about fasting and the Ramadhan month. Link of the video;
The video explained about the benefits of fasting. Here are some of the points that I managed to extract from the video
1. Fasting teaches us how to have Sabr
Fasting and Sabr, both have the same meaning language-wise; To suppress oneself. We suppress ourselves from eating/drinking when we fast. We suppress ourselves from impulsive reaction when we are tested. We can see how fasting and sabr go hand in hand in our lives.
2. Fasting train us to be respectful
As we all know, during the fasting month, not everyone will be fasting. Women on their periods, kids, non-Muslims will not be fasting. When we are fasting, we are bound to have respect for those who are not and vice-versa. This event will avoid any commotions or misunderstandings
3. Fasting forms humane believers
When we fast, we will finally understand the struggles of those who have nothing to eat. We are more inclined to help them by giving sedekah and of course pay our mandatory Zakah.
Those are some of the points I have taken from the lecture videos. May this sharing brings benefits to all of us InsyaAllah. Thank you and Assalamualaikum :)
