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.
