🔑 Notes
🌴@3:00 Surah Baqarah 2:185 🔸month in which the Quran was sent down as a guide for all humanity and to clarify the standards of right and wrong 🔸in Ramadan the Quran was released from the preserved tablet and revealed to Prophet Mohammed ﷺ over a period of 23 years🔸fasting was not prescribed only to Muslims but to nations and Prophets before as well
🌙Fasting includes 🔹physical fasting(abstaining from food, drink and sexual activity)🔸 behavioural fasting(involves tongue/ words and actions) sins don't break the fast but diminish the reward
✨ In Ramadan the doors of paradise are open and doors of hell close. Allah's favours/forgiveness/mercy/rewards are higher and His anger/wrath is less than any other time.
⚓We fast in the hope to find Taqwa (to protect oneself from what's prohibited and doing what is commanded, in secret & open, for the love of Allah, in fear of Allah and with hope in Allah)
🕯️Fasting increases us in Taqwa, character and health (physical, mental, spiritual)
❤ Prophet ﷺ said;🔹 if we fast out of faith/love for Allah/in anticipation of rewards all the past sins are forgiven,🔹all our sins will be forgiven in Ramadan and we will be given full reward if our faith/sincerity is strong and we avoid major sins.
🌙In Ramadan good deeds are multiplied more and are more in weight but sins are not multiplied though they are more serious.
📜 activities we increase in Ramadan 🔹voluntary prayers🔹Quran recitation🔹dhikr🔹sadaqa🔹 improve our character

🌙Rules and Fiqh of Fasting
🔺Fasting is an obligation in Islam ▪️on every male/female ▪️every sane person▪️who have reached puberty ▪️person who is physically able to▪️make the intention
🔺Fasting is option for🔸children 7-puberty( fasting is rewarded but breaking is not a sin)🔸anyone with minor sickness/on one off travel of over 80km🔸 pregnant/breastfeeding woman
🔺Ramadan begins if the Cresent is sighted on 29 Shaban, if weather conditions do not allow moon sighting, complete 30 days of Shaban.
🔺Fasting is forbidden on a menstruating woman or who has post natal bleeding. They need to make up fasts later.
🔺Suhoor is a highly recommended Sunnah and has a blessing in it. We can eat till the break of dawn (recommended to stop eating a few minutes before calendar time)
🔺Prophet SAW asked to hasten the Iftar, break fast as close to Maghrib time as possible(so you can go to Isha unrushed, eat less and don't engage in idle talk)
🔺@38:30 If you are eating and time for Fajr adhan arrives, if in doubt of Fajr time, finish what's in your hand, if sure it's Fajr time, spit it out 🔸Preferably stop eating a few minutes before time🔸calendars are inaccurate so due to uncertainty,whichever you stop eating on is ok🔸 adhan being later is better than adhan being before Fajr time 🔸If unaware that is was after Fajr time (e.g. time change due to. Day light saving) and you eat, continue fasting, repent and make up the fast🔸if later you find out your Fajr time was wrong, e.g. bcause of wrong calendar times, it's a mistake, no need for making up fasts
🔺Traveller/sick(including old age)/pregnant woman/breastfeeding woman are exempt from fasting
🔹If temporarily sick, it's preferred to break the fast, and make it up later. If you don't make up before next Ramadan, make up fast and feed one poor person
🔹@47:25 if you travel 80+km and you are already fasting, you can continue if it is comfortable. If you find yourself in hardship due to travelling, break fast and make up later. If traveling causes extreme fatigue, serious illness and harm, then fasting is haram, make up the fast later.
🔹If a pregnant woman fears for her health or for baby, it's preferred she breaks the fast. Fast broken out of concern for own health reasons, she can just make up the fast, if she feared for the baby's health, she makes up the fast and the baby's father feeds one poor person.
🔹If a breastfeeding woman fears her milk will dry, or the baby will not have enough to feed on, it is preferred she breaks the fast. Fiqh for how she makes up for it is same as for pregnant woman.
🔺 Deliberately breaking a fast is a major sin, repent and make up the fast any time during lifetime.
🔺Breaking fast due to sexual intercourse is a major sin. Needs repentance and make kaffara. According to Quran, free a slave, fast 60 days or feed 60 people.@56:50 explanation of difference of opinion.
🔺Food and drink (nutrition/non-nutrition)break fast if it goes through your nose or mouth and reaches stomach. If deliberate,it's a major sin, repent and make
up fast. If unintentional, not a sin, but advised to make up fast.🔹if what went through nose/mouth was spat out, does not break fast.🔹 nutrients entering through eyes,nose, ears reach throat, it will not break fast, but if it reaches stomach, it will break fast. Intravenous fluid, if nutrition, breaks fast, non nutrition, does not break fast🔹eating/drinking forgetfully does not break fast🔹 it's permissible to taste food with tip of tongue while cooking, but not swallowed
