The Medical

Reflections
on Ramadan
"A person who can restrain himself, for the love and pleasure of God,
deserves a reward from the Creator Himself. The hardship of fasting brings the
glad tidings that the fasting undertaken for the sole purpose of pleasing God is
sure to be accepted by the Most Merciful Lord."
