Fasting is not only from food and drink. It is from words.
Backbiting, arguing, complaining, sarcasm — these weaken the reward of fasting.
Today, try this: speak less, speak gently, or stay silent.
Silence can be worship if it protects your heart.
قال رسول الله ﷺ:
“من لم يدع قول الزور والعمل به فليس لله حاجة في أن يدع طعامه وشرابه”
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, Allah has no need of him giving up his food and drink.”
