Today's topic is Fasting.
The philosophy of fasting calls upon us to know ourselves, to master ourselves, and to discipline ourselves the better to free ourselves. To fast is to identify our dependencies, and free ourselves from them.
~ Tariq Ramadan
We must master our egoism, and through this mastery, step outside ourselves and educate ourselves in giving. Fasting requires that we rediscover all that is alive around us, and reconcile ourselves with our environment.
~ Tariq Ramadan
It's clearly more important to treat one's fellow man well than to be always praying and fasting and touching one's head to a prayer mat.
~ Naguib Mahfouz
Fasting is, first and foremost, an exercise for identifying and managing adversity in all its forms. With faith, in full conscience, fasting calls women and men to an extra degree of self-awareness.
~ Tariq Ramadan
I was obsessed with the idea of fasting and isolation.
