Hadeeth:- “ Fasting is the one-half of the Tareeqat.”<br />

Hadeeth:- “ Observe fast to have Him in sight.”<br />

Hadeeth:- “Fasting is dedicated to me and I alone shall offer reward on it.<br />

O dear! Let it be clear that ‘fasting’ was obligatory right from the time eternal and it shall remain<br />

deligatory till the end. Fasting is a part of life and devotion of human beings. That is why in all religion<br />

fasting carrys significance. Fasting is an important mode of worship and at its backdrop there are to many<br />

objectives and advantages apparent and intrinisic.<br />

The Fasting in Shariyat:- It is abstenance form eating, drinking and the absurdities from dawn to the dusk.<br />

During the holy month of Ramzan fasting is made obligatory for whole of the month and Sahri and iftar<br />

have been made sunnat in it. The fasting is obligatory after sighting the moon and celebrating of Id is<br />

preconditioned to sighting of the moon.<br />

Fasting in Tareequat:- He who be the seeker of the master, he observes fast on sighting his Master. It<br />

means: He levies obligation upon each and every of his physical organs as per the call of the Holy Quran;<br />

“Fasting have been made upon you as obligatory.” The fasting of tongue lies in abstenance from lying;<br />

back-biting etc.The fasting of ear is to keep from listening to the illegitimate talks.The fasting of eyes is to<br />

stop oneself from seeing the things of frivelity. The fasting of hands lies in abstenance from causing harm<br />

abstenance from everything but Allah the Almighty).<br />

Fasting in Haqeeqat:-The fasting in Haqeeqat cannot be correct unless the fasting in Tareeqat is corrected.<br />

One should forget from his heart everything but God and should not be seized by fear or pleasure or<br />

optimism or hope of what be non-Allah, viz. he should not have any hope but that of a divinety sight. The<br />

fasting in Haqeequat begins from divinely sight and the joy is also due to divinely sight.<br />

Hadeeth: - They should observe fast with his sighting and their break-fast too is through his sighting.<br />

Necessity of Fasting: - With fasting the heart gets illuminated and it helps in achieving the divine<br />

enlightenment, the sight becomes a mentar and the tongue becomes a sword and finally one has the<br />

divinely sight.<br />

Zakaat and its Truth:-“Establish Namaaz and offer Zakaat” (Al-Quran).There is an exclusive reference in<br />

the Holy Quran of Zakaat emphasized along with Namaz too. It appears as though there prevails quite a<br />

secret tie between Namaz and the Zakaat. The Almighty has said: “(Muslims are) those who have<br />
