The rose, one of the five obligations of Islam, gives a person the opportunity to look within himself. This is a test not only of controlling bodily hunger, but also of intentions, opinions, words, and behavior. Therefore, it is important for every fasting person to understand that abstinence is the essence of this holy month.

The importance of the Roza among the five pillars of Islam: The foundation of Islam is based on five pillars – the word, prayer, the Roza, zakat, and Hajj. Among these pillars, fasting is considered the third important pillar. Every adult and healthy Muslim must fast during the month of Ramadan.

In the Qur’an, fasting is described as a means to achieve piety, i.e. piety. When a person remains hungry and thirsty all day long, he understands the pain of those people who suffer from hunger every day. For this reason, special emphasis is placed on paying zakat and charity during the month of Ramadan. In our time, where life is full of hustle and bustle, fasting gives people the opportunity to stop and think. It is time to ask ourselves, are we living for the stomach only or are we doing something for the soul as well?

The true meaning of fasting: not only hunger, but also behavior. It is often explained to children that fasting means not eating or drinking anything all day. But for adults, fasting is much more than that.

Fasting of the eyes, ears and tongue is not only for the stomach, but also for the eyes, ears and tongue. This means not seeing bad things, not listening to wrong things, and not speaking wrongly about anyone. Just think, if a person stays hungry all day but in the evening he speaks ill of someone or lies or hurts someone, is the fast fulfilled? According to Islamic teachings, such fasting weakens the soul.

Avoid lying, backbiting, and backbiting: Lying, backbiting, false testimony, and false swearing are strongly disliked during Ramadan. The fasting person is expected to pay special attention to his words. Today, in the age of social media, this has become even more important. Before sending, think about whether this news is true? Doesn’t this defame anyone? Even in the digital world, the responsibility of the tongue is no less important.

Avoid bad intentions and physical relationships: During the Rosa period, physical relationships are forbidden from sunrise to sunset. Moreover, instructions were also given to avoid bad intentions or wrong thinking. Fasting is a self-control exercise in which a person learns to control his emotions and desires. This is a kind of promise we made to ourselves that we will improve our behavior this month.

Ramadan: The beginning of change Ramadan comes every year, but every time it brings a new opportunity. Many people try to quit smoking this month, some learn to control anger, and some begin to restrict prayer. In fact, fasting is a training that teaches us that if we can control ourselves for 30 days, we can become better people in the future as well.

Fasting during Ramadan is an important duty in Islam, and it is not limited to simply staying hungry. It is a month of self-control, good behavior, and abstinence from bad habits, which gives a person the opportunity to become better.
