Fasting in Ramadan
Fasting is one of the most beloved worship to Allah
Fasting is considered among the best of all Ibaadaat because it raises fear of Allah in one’s self. Fasting livens and deepens the love and fear of Allah because Allah said about fasting, it is to establish Taqwa:
“O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious). (Surat al-Baqarah: 183)”
No one knows the reward of fasting but Allah
All deeds have a specified amount of reward, but no one knows the specific reward of fasting but Allah.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Every deed of the son of Adam is multiplied between ten and seven hundred times. Allah says: Except fasting, for it is for Me and I will reward it. He leaves his desires and his food for My sake.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 1904, Sahih Muslim 1151)
When a king or prominent person or an employer on this earth gives a gift, he gives it in such generosity to suit the position he is in. So imagine the King of all kings when He says fast. He has your beautiful reward assured.
