[al-Baqara 2:183] Ma'anar wannan ita ce, idan mutum ya kauracewa abubuwan halal don neman yardar Allah da kuma saboda tsoron azabarSa, zai fi sauƙi a gare shi ya kauracewa aikata abubuwan haram.

(4) There is much wisdom and many benefits in fasting, which have to do with the taqwa mentioned by Allaah in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): “… that you may become al-muttaqoon (the pious).” [al-Baqarah 2:183] The interpretation of this is that if a person refrains from halaal things hoping to earn the pleasure of Allaah and out of fear of His punishment, it will be easier for him to refrain from doing haraam things.

Idan cikin mutum yana jin yunwa, wannan zai hana sauran gabobinsa da yawa jin yunwa ko sha'awa; amma idan cikinsa ya ƙoshi, harshensa, idonsa, hannunsa da gabobinsa na sirri za su fara jin yunwa. Azumi yana kaiwa ga cin nasara a kan Shaiɗan; yana sarrafa sha'awoyi kuma yana kare gabobin mutum.

If a person’s stomach is hungry, this will keep many of his other faculties from feeling hunger or desires; but if his stomach is satisfied, his tongue, eye, hand and private parts will start to feel hungry. Fasting leads to the defeat of Shaytaan; it controls desires and protects one’s faculties.

Lokacin da mai azumi ya ji zafin yunwa, sai ya fuskanci yadda talakawa suke ji, don haka sai ya ji tausayinsu ya ba su wani abu da zai kawar musu da yunwarsu. Ji labarin su ba kamar raba musu wahalarsu yake ba, kamar yadda mahayi ba ya fahimtar wahalar tafiya a ƙafa sai ya sauka ya yi tafiyar.

When the fasting person feels the pangs of hunger, he experiences how the poor feel, so he has compassion towards them and gives them something to ward off their hunger. Hearing about them is not the same as sharing their suffering, just as a rider does not understand the hardship of walking unless he gets down and walks.

Azumi yana horar da nufi don kaucewa sha'awowi da nisantar zunubi; yana taimaka wa mutum ya rinjayi yanayin kansa kuma ya kwantar da kansa daga al'adunsa. Haka kuma yana horar da mutum ya saba da tsari da kuma kasancewa a kan lokaci, wanda zai magance matsalar da mutane da yawa ke fama da ita ta rashin tsari, idan dai za su fahimta.

Fasting trains the will to avoid desires and keep away from sin; it helps a person to overcome his own nature and to wean himself away from his habits. It also trains a person to get used to being organized and punctual, which will solve the problem that many people have of being disorganized, if only they realized.

Azumi kuma nuni ne ga haɗin kan Musulmi, domin al'ummar Musulunci tana yin azumi tare kuma tana buɗe baki a lokaci guda.

Fasting is also a demonstration of the unity of the Muslims, as the ummah fasts and breaks its fast at the same time.

Azumi kuma yana ba wa waɗanda ke kiran mutane zuwa ga Allah dama mai girma. A cikin wannan watan mutane da yawa suna zuwa masallaci, wasu suna zuwa karon farko, wasu kuma ba su je masallaci ba tsawon lokaci, zukatansu a buɗe suke, don haka dole ne mu yi amfani da wannan dama sosai ta hanyar yin da'awa cikin sauƙi da lalama, koyar da darussan da suka dace, da faɗin kalmomi masu amfani, tare da taimakon juna wajen aikin alheri da ayyuka nagari. Mai kira zuwa ga Allah bai kamata ya shagala da wasu har ya manta da ransa ba, har ya zama kamar fitila da ke haskaka hanya ga wasu alhali kuma tana ƙonewa da kanta.

Fasting also provides a great opportunity for those who are calling others to Allaah. In this month many people come to the mosque who are coming for the first time, or who have not been to the mosque for a long time, and their hearts are open, so we must make the most of this opportunity by preaching in a gentle manner, teaching appropriate lessons and speaking beneficial words, whilst co-operating in righteousness and good deeds. The dai’yah should not be so preoccupied with others that he forgets his own soul and becomes like a wick that lights the way for others while it is itself consumed.
