The Quranic Concessions in Fasting: Exegesis of Quran 2:185
February 26, 2026
Fasting is obligatory, although the sick, the traveller, and those unable to bear it are exempt. Those unaware of these principles often fall into excess or neglect regarding the obligations of Ramadan, forgetting that religion is not a burden but a means of growth.
Fasting not only facilitates the moral and spiritual reformation of man but also provides a pathway to improved physical and mental health.
Fasting brings about moral transformation in a person, serving as a means of attaining righteousness, self-discipline, and physical and mental rejuvenation.
Ramadan is a month of eternal blessings. Our journey towards spiritual excellence does not end, rather begins with the end of Ramadan.
The Holy Prophet (sa) said, “If people knew about the excellences of Ramadan, then my Ummah would have wished the entire year to be Ramadan”.
