A Believer's Guide to Fasting – Rulings, Merits & Secrets of Fasting

Fasting is one of the great pillars of Islam, and understanding its rulings, wisdom and virtues allows a believer to make the most of the blessed month of Ramadan.

A Believer's Guide to Fasting brings together two beneficial treatises by eminent scholars from the blessed land of Shām. The first, by Shaykh ʿAbd-Allāh Sirāj al-Dīn of Aleppo, explores the wisdom and spiritual dimensions of fasting, including its obligation, etiquette, requirements, benefits and virtues. It also provides a detailed discussion of Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Divine Decree), examining its meaning, significance and virtues.

The second treatise, by the late Ḥanafī scholar Shaykh Hishām Burhānī of Damascus, focuses on the legal rulings of fasting according to the Ḥanafī school of Islamic jurisprudence.

Together, these two treatises provide essential knowledge for Muslims seeking to understand the spiritual, legal and practical aspects of fasting and to maximise the rewards and benefits of Ramadan.
