Dear Readers

Fasting is a means to becoming Muttaqi. No doubt, fasting has health
and spiritual benefits, but we must never lose sight of the main goal
of fasting. Ramadan provides an environment for our collective
training and development of character. Muslims are required to emulate
and display, year long, the qualities laid down by the above verses as
a result of fasting in the month of Ramadan. Since character building
is a hard, long, continuous process, Ramadan is repeated every year as
a reminder and re-enforcer. We must judge our accomplishments by the
standards laid down by the Quran. We should not be under the false
impression that our spiritual development is taking place while our
life goes on as usual. We have to keep the life and works of the
Muhammad peace be upon him and his companions (R) before us to know
whether or not we are among the Muttaqoon.
