Assalaamu alaikum sanajamal,
(smile) With Ramadan coming, this is a good topic!
I like to reflect on this ayah:
Qur'an 2:184 (translated interpretation of meaning):
[TABLE="class: black, width: 100%"]
[TR]
[TD="width: 100"]
Asad[/TD]
[TD="width: 15"]:[/TD]
[TD][fasting] during a certain number of days.
155 But whoever of you is ill, or on a journey, [shall fast instead for the same] number of other days; and [in such cases] it is incumbent upon those who can afford it to make sacrifice by feeding a needy person.
156 And whoever does more good than he is bound to do
157 does good unto himself thereby;
for to fast is to do good unto yourselves - if you but knew it.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
Fasting is good for us... it also apparently helps reboot our immune system.

May Allah, the Designer, Help us to realize the good He Gifts us with when we surrender to His Will.
