seven hundred times except for fasting.
Allah says; fasting is for Me and I alone will give reward for it
as I wish, since the person has given up his food and

There are two joys for the fasting person: a joy at time of
breaking the fast and a second joy at the time of meeting his
Lord on the day of Judgement.

• When a person qualifies as a travelling person, he has
the option of keeping the fast or postponing the fast and
make up for it on his return after Ramadan.
• However, if the journey is not difficult then its much
preferred to fast during a journey.
• Now a days travelling is much easier and food is also
readily available, so a person must judge how difficult
his journey is and whether he should postpone his fast or
not.

If a person becomes too ill during the month of Ramadan
and finds it difficult to keep the fast due to his illness, he is

If a person is having a fast and fels too sick to complete his
fast, he is allowed the terminate his fast.

it will cause delay in recovery of health then he is exempt

Editor's Notes
اے ایمان والو! تم پر روزے رکھنا فرض کیا گیا جس طرح تم سے پہلے لوگوں پر فرض کئے گئے تھے، تاکہ تم تقویٰ اختیار کرو
تم کھاتے پیتے رہو یہاں تک کہ صبح کا سفید دھاگہ سیاه دھاگے سے ﻇاہر ہوجائے۔ پھر رات تک روزے کو پورا کرو
Its not complete ayaat
اه رمضان وه ہے جس میں قرآن اتارا گیا جو لوگوں کو ہدایت کرنے واﻻ ہے اور جس میں ہدایت کی اور حق وباطل کی تمیز کی نشانیاں ہیں، تم میں سے جو شخص اس مہینہ کو پائے اسے روزه رکھنا چاہئے، ہاں جو بیمار ہو یا مسافر ہو اسے دوسرے دنوں میں یہ گنتی پوری کرنی چاہئے، اللہ تعالیٰ کا اراده تمہارے ساتھ آسانی کا ہے، سختی کا نہیں، وه چاہتا ہے کہ تم گنتی پوری کرلو اور اللہ تعالیٰ کی دی ہوئی ہدایت پر اس کی بڑائیاں بیان کرو اور اس کا شکر کرو
تو کیا سمجھا کہ شب قدر کیا ہےے ……یقیناً ہم نے اسے شب قدر میں نازل فرمایا؟ شب قدر ایک ہزار مہینوں سے بہتر ہ
