"If you see Allāh giving you from His blessings one after the other, whilst you yourself are constant upon disobeying Him, be vigilant…
because this (i.e blessings) is only an enticement (towards punishment) that Allāh is enticing you with."

“The objective behind fasting is to restrain the soul from desires (for food, drink, and sexual relations), divert it from its normal circumstances, tame the strong desires, prepare it to attain the happiness and benefits (from fasting), and purify it from its untamed state.
By experiencing the intensity of hunger and thirst, one is reminded of the condition of the hungry stomachs of needy people.”

“(By fasting) one narrows the passageways of Shayṭān within the servant (of Allāh), by narrowing the passageways of food and drink. As well, it restrains the force of the limbs from giving way to its dominating nature of that which is harmful to it in this world and the hereafter.
And, (fasting) subdues every limb and might of the soul from (following its) whims, and harnesses it by its bridle.
For, surely (the fast) is the bridle of the muttaqūn [the righteous, those having taqwá] and the shield of the warriors [a shield between them and the Hell-fire].”
