Ramadan Lecture 1: The Fasting Orders

One particular practice in Ramadan that is not found in other months

is the fasting of Ramadan. Therefore Ramadan is also referred to as
Syahrush Shiyam.

The Muslims are rahimakumullah ...

Apparently fasting orders not only exist for Muslims. Long before the
Prophet received revelation, the earlier peoples also received the same
command. This is what we find in the Qur'an:

O ye who believe, are required of you fasting as it was required of

those before you, that ye may fear. (Surah Al-Baqarah: 183)

Prophet Adam. After being sent down from heaven repent to Allah
swt and fast for three days every month. That is what became known
as the ayyamul bidh fasting that sunna to be done on every 13, 14 and
15 hijriyah every month. The Prophet David also performed the fast.
Fasting is even harder; Ie one day of fasting and one day breaking.
This is what we then know with the fast of David, the sunnah of the
law for the people of Muhammad. In the book of al-Jami 'li Ahkamil
Qur'an, Imam Al-Qurthubi mentions that Allah has obliged fasting to
Jews for 40 days, while to the Prophet Isa for 50 days.

The Law of Ramadan Fasting

Ikhwani wa akhwati fillah ...
When explaining the discussion of fasting in Fiqh Sunnah, Sayyid
Sabiq opens it by explaining the definition of fasting. Which generally
means holding back. "While the meaning according to the term" he
said "Fasting is refrain from all that break the fast, from dawn to
sunset with accompanied the intention".

Ramadan fasting is mandatory on the basis of Al-Qur'an, Sunnah, and

Ijma '. He began to be obligated on Monday the 1st of Shya'ban
second year hijriah.

The Qur'anic proof of the obligatory fasting of Ramadan is the word
of Allah SWT:

sting as it was required of those before

you, that ye may fear. (Surah Al-Baqarah: 183)

O ye who believe, are required of you fa

The month of Ramadan is (the moon) in which it is revealed by the

Qur'an, as a guide for man and explanations of the guidance and the
distinction (between right and the vanity). Which one of you is on that
moon, then fast ... "(Surat al-Baqarah: 185)
