As a Muslim woman, I feel truly blessed and grateful after reading this article on Hadith Qudsi about fasting. The insights shared are so deep and inspiring, especially as we approach the blessed month of Ramadan. The Hadith Qudsi mentioned in this article remind me of the special status of fasting, something that is purely for Allah, and the immense reward He promises for those who observe it. It is comforting to know that fasting serves as a shield against the fire of Hell, and this spiritual protection gives us a sense of peace and security.

I really appreciate how the article breaks down the Hadith in a simple and clear way, making it easy to understand the profound wisdom behind fasting. The emphasis on fasting being a unique act of worship that Allah Himself rewards makes it feel even more significant and personal. This article has certainly increased my understanding and love for the act of fasting, and I am thankful to the writer for sharing this valuable information with us.

Thank you for such an enlightening and beneficial article. May Allah continue to bless you with knowledge and grant us the ability to observe fasting with sincerity and devotion. Ameen.
