O Muslims - 5


In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Excerpts from QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir PART I:
183. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo kutiba AAalaykumu alssiyamu kama kutiba AAala allatheena min qablikum laAAallakum tattaqoona

2:183. O you who believe! The fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those who lived before you, so that you become pious.305

305. And the pious are the ones who are on the right Guidance and successful, the All-knowing Allah assures us (refer Verses 2:2 to 2:5)! In other words, fasting opens the door to real success in this world and to salvation in the Hereafter. To achieve success in its real sense, therefore, one has got to fast in the divinely prescribed manner.
