Preparing for Fasting of the Elite

Preparing for Fasting of the Elite

Preparing for the fasting of the elite starts before Ramadan even begins. It means getting our hearts ready, not just our bodies. We try to clean our intentions, ask Allah for forgiveness, stay away from bad speech and harmful habits, and spend more time with the Qur’an, du’a, and remembering Allah. Little by little, the fast becomes more than just not eating and drinking—it becomes a peaceful time of drawing closer to Allah, feeling calm inside, and growing in patience and faith.
