Friends,

I won't be able to complete my analysis, due to time and
too, much to do. Sorry for unrespoded mails.

Dawda Jallow.

"A word for  the wise is quite sufficient"
Fasting is prescribed in all previous religions.
1.Christianity,and
2.Judaism

The root word for Ramadan means to "burn" in English,
if translated,( i.e to burn our sins).(ref. Bliss)

       Three important benefits

1.Our sins are forgiven by Allah (SWT)
2.The mercy of ALLAH, The Most Merciful, will decend on us
3.Jannah (Paradise) is opened for us

Comment:-
No cash value to trade these benefits and isn't all.

Recommendation:-
Please! read about 'Ramadan' to get the essence which is
The best to know any subject and to ask, too, before fasting,
Or even whilst fasting through this blessed month.
You will be proud to know alot after reading. Just give it a try
and tell me the difference.(laugh) It don't mean you're uztaz, now.
May Allah accept our "ibadah"(worship) and give us long lives
And good health to worship HIM and to enjoy HIS infinite bounties.

CORRECTION
We tend to exalt this obligation(fasting) but Prayers(salah) should
be first in order of importance.

Wassalam
Dawda.
