6 Reasons Fasting in Ramadan Brings Happiness

The Prophet Muhammad PBUH described these moments by saying:

“The fasting person has two kinds of happiness: a happiness when he breaks his fast and a happiness when he meets his Lord.” (Al-Bukhari)

“If one does not leave off false speech and action, then there is not a need for Allah for one to leave off his food and drink.” (Al-Bukhari)

A natural feeling of happiness comes about when a person completes a task. A person at the moment of breaking the fast is happy because Allah has allowed him to complete this act of worship. Allah says: (Quran 16:53)

“Every action of the son of Adam is for him except fasting. Surely, it is for Me and I will give reward due to it.” (Al-Bukhari)

“Allah has people freed from the fire, and that is in every night.” (Sahih al-Jami’)

One of the best ways to prepare for Ramadan is to focus on the happiness that fasting brings about. Allah said regarding the happiness in our deen: (Quran: 10:58)
