Sawm (Fasting)

Sawm is a shield, as long as he (the fasting person) does not tear it up. (Nasa'ee)

Note: Fasting is a protection from Shaytãn or from Allah's punishment in the Hereafter.

One who indulges in sins whilst fasting such as lying, backbiting etc., they become the cause of the fast becoming wasted. All good deeds are for the one who renders them, but Fasting.

Fasting is exclusively for me (Allah). (Bukhãri)

Fasting is a shield and a powerful fortress. (Ahmad, Bayhaqi)

I swear by that being in whose possession is the life of Muhammad! The odour of the mouth of a fasting person is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk.(Bukhãri)

Fasting is exclusively for Allah, the reward of it (being limitless) no one knows besides Allah. (Tabrãni)

Suhoor

Verily, Allah and His angels send mercy upon those who eat suhoor. (Tabrãni)

Eat suhoor because in suhoor lies barakah. (Mishkãt)

Iftãr

Whosoever gives something to a fasting person in order to break the fast, for him there shall be forgiveness for his sins and emancipation from the fire of Jahannam; and for him (the one who gives) shall be the same reward as for him (whom he fed), without that person's (the one who was fed) reward being diminished in the least. (Ibne Khuzaymah, Bayhaqi)

Whoever gave a person, who fasted, water to drink, Allah shall give him a drink from my fountain where after he shall never again feel thirsty until he enters Jannah. (Ibne Khuzaymah)

The fasting person experiences two (ocassions) of delight: at the time of iftãr and at the time he will meet his Rabb.(Bukhãri)

Not a single prayer made by a fasting person at the time of breaking fast is rejected. (Ibne Mãjah)
