About This Book

Fasting (Saum) in the month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. It was ordained to help believers attain Taqwa (piety). As the Qur’an says:

“O you who have believed, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may attain Taqwa.”
(Qur’an 2:183)

Kitab-us Saum covers the essentials of fasting in a simple yet comprehensive manner:

• Obligatory fasts of Ramadan and voluntary Sunnah fasts
• Rules on Qadhaa (missed fasts), Kaffaarah (expiation), and Fidyah (compensation)
• Masnoon (recommended) fasts such as Ashura, Mondays & Thursdays, and 6 days of Shawwal
• Etiquettes of Suhoor (Sahri) and Iftaar (breaking the fast)
• I’tikaaf, its categories, and guidelines
• Acts that break the fast and those that don’t
• Spiritual benefits and rewards of fasting

Spiritual Significance

Fasting purifies the soul, teaches self-control, and nurtures empathy for the poor. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari)

In a Hadith Qudsi, Allah declares: “Fasting is for Me, and I will reward it.” This reflects the unmatched status of Saum in Islam.
