Скачать или смотреть Beyond Hunger: The Hidden Dimensions of Fasting | Ustad Salman Naqavi

Fasting is often reduced to a physical act — abstaining from food and drink from dawn to sunset. But in reality, fasting is a deeply multidimensional endeavor that transforms the believer at every level: spiritual, moral, psychological, social, and even political.
In this powerful discussion with Ustad Salman Naqavi, we explore fasting beyond hunger and thirst. What does fasting do to our beliefs? How does it discipline our actions? How does it purify our character? And how does it reshape society?
1. The Dimension of Belief (Aqeedah)
Fasting is an act rooted in pure intention. It strengthens:
Conscious awareness of God (taqwa)
Sincerity (ikhlas), because fasting is a hidden act
Trust in divine wisdom
Awareness of accountability in the Hereafter
Unlike visible acts of worship, fasting is known fully only to the individual and God. It cultivates inner honesty.
2. The Dimension of Actions (A'mal)
True fasting is not limited to the stomach. It includes:
Guarding the tongue from gossip and lies
Lowering the gaze
Controlling anger
Restraining harmful behavior
Acting with patience and discipline
The Prophet taught that if one does not abandon false speech and bad conduct, God has no need for his hunger. Fasting trains the body to obey the soul rather than the soul being enslaved to the body.
3. The Moral Dimension (Akhlaq)
Fasting reshapes character:
It weakens the ego (nafs)
It cultivates humility
It builds empathy for the poor and vulnerable
It strengthens gratitude
It develops self-restraint
Hunger softens the heart. It reminds us of our dependence and our fragility.
4. The Social Dimension
Fasting is not an isolated ritual. It:
Unifies communities through shared struggle
Encourages charity and generosity
Builds solidarity across class lines
Reminds the wealthy of the lived reality of the poor
Creates a culture of compassion
Ramadan becomes a social equalizer — hunger is experienced by all.
5. The Political & Civilizational Dimension
At a deeper level, fasting resists consumerism and material obsession. It:
Challenges systems built on excess and indulgence
Builds disciplined individuals capable of moral resistance
Produces citizens who can restrain desire, anger, and greed
Strengthens collective moral will
A society that can control its appetite cannot easily be manipulated.
