Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the spiritual, physical, and social impacts of fasting, drawing insights from classical Islamic texts and scholarly interpretations. Fasting, as an integral practice in Islam, is not only a means of self-discipline but also a profound spiritual exercise aimed at enhancing one's connection with the Divine. The paper explores how fasting serves as a tool for purifying the soul, strengthening empathy for the less fortunate, and fostering gratitude. It also delves into the physical benefits of fasting, such as detoxification, improved metabolism, and the potential for better overall health. Furthermore, the social dimension of fasting is examined, highlighting its role in strengthening communal ties, promoting a sense of solidarity, and fostering shared experiences during the holy month of Ramadan. By examining classical works of Islamic scholars, the study offers a multi-faceted understanding of fasting's multifarious effects, emphasizing its holistic significance in the life of a Muslim.
