Shallow interpretation of why the Muslim fasting (2)
Three, fasting is the Muslim faith and will review.
Fasting is a very hard thing, is god to the test of the Muslim faith and will, anyone who pass this test, faith, and you will be more determined, because, without any kind of secular authority checks or force the behavior, the Muslim fasting is wholly dependent on consciously, this is god to the Muslim physical, psychological, perseverance, and the overall quality of the test, the will of god to borrow the Muslim fasting and temper, firm their faith, they bear hardships and stand hard work, perseverance, adversity survival and the ability to resist the temptation.Is it may be said: "the day will drop responsibility on people, also will first frustrates, harasses, its always hungry."
The Koran says: "I have to set a generation of cure."(2:30) Allah put human as the generation on the earth, for god to manage the world, this is the creator of a highly in humans, and to promote people's status to all things to the height of the spirit to shoulder the mission of the world.This is a great honor in the human, is also a kind of unprecedented challenges.
The Koran says: "you are the world and was produced by the most excellent national, you life good pedestrian, stop people to do evil, to believe in Allah..."(3:11 0)
Allah through every January fasting, designed to shape a nation is able to successfully complete the mission of Allah, challenge to exercise hard life, purify the soul, to eliminate the weakness of human nature, strengthening the faith of believers, the true in the plight of overload, make the person get rid of the materialistic, refresh will, experience the sublimation, strengthen the complete responsibility of human life, to hand in a satisfactory answers to Allah.
Four, fasting can restrain people's desire, the standard people's words and deeds, improve the comprehensive quality of people.
The prophet said, "all things have a class, the class of the body is fast."
Scholars in the qing dynasty Yang tzu-chung in the Arabian ceremony ", said: "stop lent, food color with uprightness also."Uprightness, the person all has, sage.
The Koran in narrative yusuf, the prophet said to his kinsmen said: "I don't claim to be innocent, human nature is indeed urged people to do evil."(12:53)
People's desire, like a deep well, want more.If not restrained, letting it flood, shi will lead to desire crosscurrent, decadent, society will be there.Longitudinal, don Wu Jing said: "the desire not sex."
Allah is fast through the very effective measures, the lusts of temperance people, cultivate people's self-control ability, to the more routine work without the moral and legal boundaries, indulge in bad taste, reduced by material, color of the slave.Ming dynasty scholar strict distincion between the summarized the significance of fasting said: the meaning of Ramadan has three "worry, abstinence, the mind."(" the orthodox true interpretation of ")
The Koran says: "as to be afraid of standing in the command of the Lord went on trial, and rid of lust, paradise for his home."(79:40, 41)
Fast as an angel, is the purpose of rational really dominate their own desires, to achieve the purification of the mind, words and the specification of the noble morality, and the angels, close to god.Explore potential in life, to create brilliant life.Yang tzu-chung said in the Arabian ceremony ", "check color not only food, service all lent and fresh body and mind.Can't afford to reason lent, precluding fixed dust, behave only worship, language's only purge."This gives fast gives a general explanation.Fast, to fast color not only, and to achieve the state of "full", namely "the eyes and ears of body and mind" to do "see no evil, sex sounds, no evil, evil, evil."
The prophet said, "anyone who did not give up and lying hidden, Allah will not accept his fast."And he said:" a lot of fasting, nothing except for hunger and thirst."
Visible, fast as Islam in moral and spiritual level, having a unique style of work system, is a method of training people to be good, Allah is the key to fast person from the extent to which the effect of fasting in the form of personal practice, such as: honesty, patience, deferential, dedication spirit of fasting, reach to shape the character of fasting, enhance the comprehensive character accomplishment."
Five, the fasting can cultivate people's kindness and humanity spirit.
That fasting is one of the utility of fasting experience hunger, feel the pain of hunger brings, because, fast regardless of rich and poor alike, are equal in terms of accept Allah obliged to fast.This makes many paunchy, all day long luxury ministries, those people also have the opportunity to taste the poor hunger, so as to arouse their sympathy, with emotion, the awakening their compassion for the poor.In one phase or in person for help, do not cause their heart becomes cold, numb.
Second, when they after a full day of hunger and thirst, to enjoy the god given delicacies and excited, they are likely to be associated with the surrounding many poor people live on food and clothing line, if they are for their generous in aiding needy, can also taste the food after the hunger and thirst, that kind of joy and excitement will be a relief.This kind of feeling is no less hungry feeling, their experiences will motivate them to have a strong sense of doing good, be charitable and of the intrinsic motivation.
Therefore, fasting is a repair work, is a gradually cultivate the good moral quality education courses.Allah by fast to let people know their own responsibility, from passive lives with kindness, love, generosity, and actively to complete their social responsibilities and obligations to the rich.
The Koran says: "there is a certain share in their property, is used to charity beggars and the poor."(70-24-25) say again: "you can never get all good until you give up the things she loves, your alms, no matter what, is known by god."(" 2)
The prophet said, "eat and be full, and whether neighbor hungry belly, not a real letter."
The realistic significance of fasting, deepen the connotation of fast again, become a stable social order, eliminate contradictions between the rich and the poor, reflect human equality, improve mutual solidarity and the special way to solve the problem of a lot of human social life.
Six, fasting can make people happy, grateful, cherish food, put an end to waste.
"The heart is insufficient, the snake swallow like."This is a metaphor of the human nature of greed, describe human greed is endless, as the Koran and holy example described in the "human nature is controlled by the greedy streamline" (8) answered "if someone has a valley of money, he would dream of having two valleys, only soil to fill his mouth."(rule) greed like acid of violations of the human body, is the root of all evil, moral killers, such as not to restraint, will become the etchant life beliefs and personality.The Koran says: "can be their own greed streamline, was a success."(64, 16)
Fasting is to eliminate suffering in the form of penance, make people transcendental to material greed and greed lure, get rid of because of a shortage of greed, evil hard luck, envy of others, decadent discouraged and may lead to all sorts of evil, to cherish the present situation, positive enterprising, connect "abundance" when they are feeling.
The prophet said, "along the main life, have ample food and clothing, have contented feeling people have succeeded."Heart say again: "money is not rich, rich is rich."
Contentment is a virtue, it is special wealth, a servant of Allah give greed is artificial poverty.
Persian Muslim poet saadi said: "seek wealth, not meet, meet is the best wealth."
Jin fu hsuean said: "the world blessed, in no desire, all over the world, no more than discontent."
"Everything is done, in the old" said: "greed, the evil intention."
Refrain from greed and fasting is cultivate one's morality raises a gender, to promote the most effective way to contentment.
Not only so, fast to let people know to cherish food, so as to know Lord, life.The prophet said, "there are two kinds of fasting is happy: (a) such as happiness, see Allah (2) after the birthday, get fast reward when happy."Without fasting experience, there would be no such feelings, when they face such food hungry, no one can tell their hearts to god demonstrating gratitude will have much deep, the gratitude from their fasting effect, it is because of hunger, just to make them aware of daily satisfied originally is a boon.
Fast it is through such a practice mode of education, make people know the grace of Allah, know to cherish "sweet as honey" food, make the wealthy no longer picky anaerobic rice, extravagance and waste, wasteful, and more to care about those poor no food without clothing, make poor know content, more patience.This makes Islam condemns wasting level, from a single economic vision to rise to the height of the ethical and moral and religious belief.
The Koran says: "you eat, you drink, but not too much, god is really don't like too much."(coasts) say again: "you don't waste waster is the devil's friend, the devil is to live up to the Lord."(very - 27) say again: "you with money, neither splurge, again not stingy, tathagata."(7) and warred prophet also teaches us to say: "hard work and plain living, austerity, belongs to the faith."
Seven, fasting can wash people's mistake, make the person province bow polyester, more sincerity.
Fasting is meant "restraint", namely the restraint people's desire, to control crime, contains the component of awe and patience, to check line, punishing redeem yourself, don't let desires over the wisdom of the people, not to follow desires into the box.
The prophet said, "half the fasting is perseverance."Added: "who is out of letters, and could seal the 'Ramadan month of lent, who committed SINS will be subject to spare before."
Fast like a umbrella, can protect law-abiding Muslim, ke-ji-fu-li noble personality and moral character.From subjective and put an end to the motive for the crime and tendency, so fast is not only in a certain period of time a detox ring, but from objective to remove the Muslim breed the soil, so are evil thoughts and evil reduce the criminal law.For the fast "is evaluating f bow washing sin."Never hold a deterrent.Even in case of provocation, others also can live with it.
The prophet said, "is a shield of fasting, during fasting, you is not nonsense, not loose freedom again, in case someone insults or beaten said twice: 'I am fasting person!'in my life in their hands to the Lord troth: fasting of dry gas of the population, in god's view, is better than the smell of musk.
Fast mold character, standardize people's words and deeds, eliminate evil thoughts, stimulating the enthusiasm of people to do good.Muslim community, at the end of Ramadan, full-bodied sect of refreshing, and touching, make many don't usually temple regularly teach also infected cell, consciously join the team for your month "windfall", efforts to do good, unusually generous, to make up and confess his past, and is expected to become a consistent adhere to the starting point of the sect, and at the end of Ramadan, not alienate sect of tragic fate.
The Koran says: "after the crime the person of modifying the contrition, Allah accept its confession."(when) and he said, "good work truly can eliminate evil."(4) will happen
Fast like a melting pot, melting time from iniquity in Muslim body, after a month of smelting, made under the growing desire has distorted soul relief, evaluating yourself, inventory profit and loss, to turn to move the good and faithful confession.
The prophet said, "a contrite, like never sin."Say again: "who is lent a day, so god to keep him away from the fire prison in seventy."
Ramadan is a step to repentance, therefore, for mercy, Lord, month of love, is a Muslim to arm themselves with piety and fear, to review the past, plan for the future, the best chance of redemption crimes.
The prophet said, "a" Ramadan "month to another" Ramadan "during the month, as long as making no great sin, that between fault is off."Say again: "after birthday, fasting, the holy Koran intercede for servants, fast said: 'my Lord!I made him a detox quit during the day, will you permit me to intercede!!!!"The Koran says:" I didn't make him sleep at night, please permit me to intercede!!!!As a result, their sermons are granted."Say again: "people to his wife, property and the mistakes made by his neighbors, due to his work, fasting and almsgiving will rao."
