Make Fasting Different..!!

Sulaymân b. Mûsâ [d119H] (Allaah have mercy on him) said:

 

“When you fast, your hearing & sight should also fast, & your tongue should fast by keeping away from lies; & do not harm your servant. Don’t let the day you fast be the same as the day you don’t fast.”

Târîkh Dimishq Vol. 22 p389.

Al-Sawm (Sawm) literally means to keep away from something. Fasting of the faculties of hearing and seeing means to keep away from listening to and looking at things that are displeasing to Allaah, in the same way that we stay away from food and drink when we are fasting.
