Take to Fasting, there is nothing like it

Take to Fasting, there is nothing like it

One of the wisdom of fasting is that the heart becomes empty ofheedlessness, and becomes occupied with contemplation andremembrance because eating, drinking and following desiredistracts a person and weakens the ties with Allah and renders theheart harsh and blinds from truth.

One of the Salaf said that when the self becomes hungry, the heart comes clear, when filled, the heart becomes blind.

Therefore, through this (fasting) he leaves off what he loves and gives precedenc to what is loved by Allah for the benefit of the Akhira [Hereafter].
