Reading from Ghazali’s masterpiece Ihyā‘ ‘ulūm al-din (The chapter on the mysteries of fasting) the Shaykh goes through the two reasons of what makes fasting so special that Allah Most High has claimed this act of worship to belong to Him exclusively. As goes the famous prophetic tradition “Fasting is Mine and it is I who give reward for it…” (Hadeeth Qudsi)
