The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said on the authority of his Lord Almighty that He said, “Every deed of the son of Adam is for him except fasting, for it is for Me and I will reward for it.
And he, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to a man, ‘You must fast, for there is no equal to him. ’
p> And God Almighty said, “There is nothing like Him, for fasting is an eternal characteristic, which is abstaining from nourishment and the reality of the created being from nourishment.” So when the servant wanted to be characterized by something that is not his true nature, he should be described by it, and his being described by it was legally based on the Almighty’s saying, “Fasting is decreed upon you as it was decreed upon those before you.” He said God owns fasting for me, not for you. That is, I am the one who should not eat and drink. And if it is like this and the reason for your entry into it is that I legislated it for you,

Fasting was more complete than prayer because it produced meeting with God and witnessing Him, and prayer is a soliloquy, not a witness, and the veil accompanies it, for God says, “And it is not for a human being that God should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a veil. Likewise, God spoke to Moses, and for that reason he asked for vision, so he linked speech with the veil and monologue with a call.
God says, “I divided the prayer between me and my servant into two halves, half of it is for me and half for my servant , and my servant has what he asks for.”
The servant says, “Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds.” God says, “My servant has praised me.” Fasting is not divided, so it is for God, not for the servant. His reward is in terms of what is God’s, and here it is. An honorable secret, so we said that watching and conversing with each other do not go together, for watching is for astonishment and speaking is for understanding. You are in a state

As for Hajj, because of the patience it entails, it is when a person withholds himself from marriage and wears sequins and yellow cloth, just as a person withholds himself from food during fasting, drink, and marriage. And since Hajj did not become widespread, a person abstained from food and drink except from marriage and backbiting, so he was late in the rules upon which Islam was built. So its ruling was the ruling for the fasting person and the praying person when he is fasting and praying in abstaining from direct residence, and that abstention God says is for me, not for you, wherever he is, and since marriage is a reason for the appearance of births from that, God gave him, when he left it, for his sake, an allowance for him, “Be in the hereafter, and to his guardians in this world,” in the name of God for whomever God wants to A mark will appear on his hand, and the servant will say in the afterlife to the thing he wants, “Be,” and that thing will be. His saying is only fr

The sect calls hunger in the four deaths the white death, which is appropriate for light, for the people of God have four deaths: a white death, which is hunger; a red death, which is the soul going against its desires; a green death, which is throwing patches on one’s clothing onto one another; and a black death, which is enduring the harm of creation, rather absolute harm. Wearing patched clothes has been called green death because its state is the state of the earth in that the plants and flowers differ in it, so it is similar to the difference in patches. As for the black death due to the possibility of harm, this entails grief for the soul, and grief is darkness for the soul, and the darkness is similar in color to blackness, and red death is the dissimilarity of the soul similar to the redness of the blood, for whoever disobeys his desires has slaughtered himself and will come. God willing, this book will contain chapters on the testimony of monotheism, prayer, zakat, fastin
