Let's find out Fasting value of Ramadhan based on the 3 different perspective; Physical Health, Psychology, and Social Life:
1. In Physical, it helps you to improve your health
Imagine your bike never gets any regular service, tune up, or being washed. I believe that next year, we need a new one. If this happens to your body, there is no chain stores that provide body spare parts, is not it? Fasting give the body a break time regularly, for instance Ramadhan once a year. This month helps our body to renew cells with the new one. Fasting gives other benefits such as reducing the fat and blood sugar, because our body will take sugar from our blood when there is no glucose intake. Some scientist proves that fasting is able to increase body survival and increase live expectation. The experiment is implemented on a rat that is not feed one day and have a feed in other day. It has longer live comparing with the one that always feed up daily.

Now you feel the excitement as the reward of your brave heart to get through the hard day.

Are you hungry when having fast? Definitely, Every one who has fasting must be hungry. Is it comfort to be hungry? Totally no. If all answers are yes, people will compete to be the poor. Let's observe the zero point, you start to taste the poor people's feeling, they always live in in-comfort zone everyday, be sensitive, share your wealth as an alms giving. What for? In order to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, for the shake of peaceful society, our belonging, and souls. You may have everything.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. Whoever prays during the nights in Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. And he who passes Lailat al-Qadr in prayer with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven (Bukhari, Muslim).
