The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 26 Apr 2020Fasting symbolises a lifelong culture of dedication. The Arabic equivalent of fasting is ‘sawm’, which means abstinence. Abstinence is the gist of fasting. Abstinence from food and water for a limited period is symbolic training. Fasting reminds a faithful person that if the acts of abstinence were to reach the extent of refraining from food and water for a temporary period, then he would be ready to do so for a higher purpose.
Although this training is for a temporary period, it enables one to lead one’s whole life in accordance with this spirit. Fasting is the adoption of the wellknown principle — simple living, high thinking. Simplicity in one’s food habits will be an integral part of a believer’s life. One of the teachings of the Prophet is ‘simplicity is a part of faith’. Extravagance of any kind will not be the way of a true follower of the Prophet.
