Eid Ul Azha Greeting Cards
In English, ‘fasting’ means to abstain from food or from certain kinds of food voluntarily, as an observance of a holy day or as a token of grief, or repentance.
Devout Hindus observe fasting on special occasions as a mark of respect to their personal gods or as a part of their penance [1]. Yom Kippur also known as the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for religious Jews. Its central themes are atonement and repentance [2]. Great Lent, or the Great Fast, is the most important fasting season for Christians. It is intended to be a "workshop" where the character of the believer is spiritually uplifted and strengthened [3].
Fasting in Islam
Although in most religions, fasting is for expiation of sin, fasting serves a slightly different purpose in Islam. Muslims believe that fasting brings one closer to God. Since, God-consciousness is the prerequisite for righteousness, great stress is placed on fasting in Islam. It’s significance is also quoted in Al Quran 2:183.
