THE WISDOM BEHIND FASTING. Allah (SWT) says in Al-Qur’an, “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be mindful of their chastity; this will be most conducive to their purity. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be mindful of their chastity, and not display their charms (in public) beyond what may (decently) be apparent thereof, hence let them draw their head-covering over their bosoms”. (Al-Qur’an 24:30-31)9.FASTING. The fast of the tongue is guarding against lying,backbiting,slandering, reviling,abusing others,cursing, indecent conversation,swearing and false evidence. The Prophet (pbuh) said:“A Muslim is he from whose tongue and hands other Muslims are safe”. AND “Whoever does not give up forged speech and evil actions,Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink(i.e. Allah will not accept his fasting.)" (Bukhari,V 3,B 31, No 127)
