Economic Benefits Of Fasting by aminu790(m): 4:11pm On May 27, 2017
Bismillahi Rahmanir-raheem
Among other blessings, fasting brings enormous economic benefits for the Muslim community. During the month of Ramadan, the rich people spend very generously on the poor to win the pleasure of Allah. Their generousity and charity enable the poor section of the community to receive sufficient funds during this month to meet their needs for at least a part of the year.

Muslims make every effort to do more good in this month than during the rest of the year, in the hope that their efforts will be rewarded many times by Allah. The month of Ramadan is a month of blessing and the Muslims spend more, following the tradition of their Messenger S.A.W in order to attain more goodness from their Lord.
Ibn Abbas reported that the Holy Prophet was the most generous among the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan.

It is a month whose begining is mercy, middle is forgiveness and end is freedom from Hell.

The Muslims, especially those who are rich, give a share of their wealth to the poor in order to seek the Blessings and Pleasure of their Lord. Thus Ramadan helps all in obtaining something in it, the poor get some money to meet their economic needs from the overflowing charity of the rich, while the latter hope to get their reward from their lord in many forms. Then people who owing to sickness or old age, cannot fast, are asked to feed the poor in compensation. Many rich people who sick or too old to fast lavishly feed the poor in the month of Ramadan.

"For those who can do it but with hardship, is a ransom, the feeding of one that is in need. But he that will give more, of his own free will, it is better for him" (Quran 2:184). The Prophet according to Abu Hurairah and Ibn Abba, told those who could not endure permanently sick people are also permitted, according to the above-quoted verse of the Quran to give FIDYA (food to the poor) in compensation.

At the end of Ramadan, there is the festival of Id al-Fitr, when Muslims gather together to offer a two rakat Id prayer as a token of gratitude and thanksgiving to their Lord for having successfully completed the month of fasting. But it is obligatory on every muslim, man and woman, to pay FITRANA to the poor for every member of the famrly, including babies and children/ before going to Id prayer

Ramadan and festival of Id will not benefit Muslims unless first they enable the poor members of the community to have enough money to celebrate the festival. The Holy Messenger laid great stress on the payment of Fitrana (about 50 pence per person, it changes with change in the price of cereals) before the celebration of Id.

In short, the month of fasting has great economic benefits for the Muslim community, especially for the poor. It brings the Blessing of Allah in the form of wealth and food into the homes of the people.

May Allah give us the courage to help the poor people especially in this Holy month. Amen
