Fasting is Only for the Sake of Allah – Dr Zakir Naik
Epi_09_04
Yusuf Chambers: Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala said trough one of the Hadiths that fasting is for me and I shall reward you for it. What are the implications of this statement from Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala?
Dr. Zakir: There are various Sahih Hadith in which our beloved Prophet Muhammad, (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), says that about the statement which Allah makes, its mentioned in
Sahih Bukhari Vol. no. 3 in the Book of Fasting Hadith no. 1894 as well as Hadith no. 1904, where Allah says that
“All the deeds of the son of Adam are for himself except from fasting, it is for me”
And it means that all the other acts of worship whether it be Salaah, whether it be Zakat, whether it be Hajj, all these can be done only for show. The person can do for Riya just to show that he is praying, he can give charity for showing like he is giving Zakaat, go for Hajj but as far as fasting is concerned a person can easily go inside the kitchen, inside his room and without anyone seeing, he can easily eat. So if he truly fasts., its only for Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, it cannot be for show, it cannot for Riya so that’s the reason Allah says that all the other acts of son of Adam are for himself but fasting is for me. And that’s the reason when this Hadith which is mentioned in
Sunan Nasai in the Book of Fasting Hadith no. 2223
here a companion of the Prophet, Abu Umama, may Allah be pleased with him, he comes to the Prophet and he asks him that
“Tell me which deed that I can do which will be accepted by Allah which is very dear to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala so Prophet said that you fast, you stick to fasting.”
Amongst all the deeds you stick to fasting.
And that’s the reason in another Hadith of
Sahih Muslim Vol. no. 2 in the Book of Fasting Hadith no. 2567 the beloved Prophet Muhammad, (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), said that
“Allah says that all the deeds of the sun of Adam are for himself and every deed that he does, he gets a reward 10 times or up to 700 times but fasting is for me and I will give him the reward. Because he leaves his food, drink and desires for Me.”
So that he says He will give the reward., that means in Fasting it will be much more InshaAllah even more than 700 times. So therefore because it’s only for Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala, Allah says that I will give the reward. And he hasn’t disclosed but it means that InshaAllah much more than 700 times.
Yusuf Chambers: Beautiful! Lets hope that we get as much as 700 times this Ramadhaan and all other.
Dr. Zakir: Much more than that InshaAllah.
