Fasting: The Door of Nearness
Sawm (صَوْم) in the QuranBy Aira Aurora
Length1h 24m
About this audiobook
Fasting (*sawm*) is one of the five pillars of Islam — the foundational acts that define a Muslim's relationship with Allah. The Quran presents fasting not as a burden but as a path to nearness: "O you who believe, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you, that you may become righteous" (2:183). The purpose is clear: righteousness (*taqwa*). The means is old: "as it was decreed upon those before you." Fasting is not a new commandment; it is an ancient practice, restored and refined in the final revelation.
