Fasting in Ramadan is a way of earning blessings, and the mercy of ALLAH has lots of benefits. The rewards of Fasting are beyond just fulfilling a religious obligation. In the following, we have collected some hadith that will illuminate the rewards of Fasting.
“Except for Fasting, which is only for My sake, and I will reward him for it.
(Al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, no. 1904; Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1/407).
“There are in the month of Ramadan in every day and night those to whom Allah grants freedom from the Fire, and there is for every Muslim a supplication which he can make and will be granted.”
[Al-Bazzaar, Ahmad, Saheeh]
Fasting will intercede for a person on the Day of Judgment and will say,
“O Lord, I prevented him from his food and physical desires during the day, so let me intercede for him.”
(Reported by Ahmad, 2/174. Al-Haythami classed its isnaad as Hasan in al-Majma’, 3/181. See also Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1/411).
What an amazing rewards of fatsing.
The smell that comes from the mouth of a fasting person is better with Allah than the scent of musk.
(Muslim, 2/807).
“Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and with the hope of reward, Allah will forgive all his previous sins.”
(Reported by al-Bukhaari, Fath, no. 37).
“The fasting person there are two times of joy; a time when he breaks his fast and a time of joy when he meets his Lord.”
[Al-Bukhaaree]
There is a special gate in Paradise for the fasting person as rewards of fasting:
Prophet ﷺsaid:
“There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Rayyan, and those who observe fasting will enter in it. Therefore, whoever is one of those who observe fasting will enter it, and whoever enters through it will never again be thirsty.”
[At-Tirmithi: Hasan Saheeh Ghareeb]
“There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Rayyan, and those who observe fasting will enter from it on the Day of Judgment, and none except them will enter from it. Then, there will be an announcement, ‘Where are those who used to observe fasting?’ They will get up, and none except them will enter from it. After their entry, this gate will be closed, and nobody will enter from it (after that).”
The Connection Between Fasting and Community Rewards of Fasting
Fasting also fosters a deep sense of community and solidarity among Muslims. During Ramadan, shared meals like suhoor and iftar bring families, neighbours, and entire communities together in an environment of love and mutual support. Acts of charity and kindness are encouraged, allowing everyone to share in the blessings of the month. This collective spirit strengthens bonds and reminds Muslims of the importance of looking out for one another. The rewards of fasting extend to fostering empathy for the less fortunate and encouraging Muslims to engage in acts of charity and care throughout the year.
Eternal Rewards of Fasting in the Hereafter
The rewards of fasting are not limited to this world; they carry immense significance in the hereafter. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that fasting is a shield from the Hellfire, and its reward is known only to Allah. Fasting is an act of worship done solely for the sake of Allah, reflecting sincerity and devotion. On the Day of Judgment, fasting will intercede on behalf of the believer, and its reward will manifest in unimaginable blessings in Paradise. These eternal rewards of fasting serve as a powerful reminder of the spiritual and transcendent benefits of observing this essential pillar of Islam.
