True fasting
Fasting in Islam does not mean just to refrain from eating and drinking, but to desist from all kinds of desires and wrong doings. We must understand the essence of fasting. The human make-up is such that when less food is consumed the purification of the soul is greater. The essence of fasting is that a person should abstain from the food which nourishes the body and obtain the food which satisfies and brings solace to his soul.
