Re: Ramadan Mubarak
Fasting both fard (in Ramadan) and sunnah, is an ibadah (act of worship) which contain 'prize'. Those who fast properly, In Shaa Allah, will get a 'prize' that they can take in the hereafter.
But unfortunately, there are Muslims who give prize for themselves in the world. They are thinking if they can finish fasting in a day, they can get prize, eat anything that they want. It's not a good intention. But the worse is those who are thinking about compensation. They think "Okay, I will fast today, but after break my fast I must eat this food, that food"
And when the iftar time comes they start their eating party which they feel they have right to eat anything that they want, as much as they can. It can make them overeat, of course.
This is a bad habit among some Muslims that will negate the real prize of fasting. As Rasulullah (saw) has said "How many people are fasting but he did not get (anything) from fasting but only hunger and thirst."
(HR Ath Thabrani)
If a Muslim overeat after break his fast, it's not because hungry, but because he doesn't understand the 'wisdom' of fasting itself.
