[quote]Siter I am saddened by your predicament. The ethos of fasting is to develop self control, patience and develop our will power. It is to recognise the plight of the poor who do not have food and also to recognise that we are in a state of prayer whilst fasting, not indulging in any negative actions or speech. It is unfortunate if we do not recognise the above. We must recognise the difference between fasting and starvation.

Islam lays great emphasis on being sensible and moderate in our spending. We must not be very miser and at the same time must not spend lavishly on essentials. The rationale is about helping others. Religion states that our money is Allah's loan. We must spend wisely on our needs and if we have surplus, try to help others. If someone spends lavishly and in principle wastes money then we are taking away a needy persons right. That money could have been spent in a betterr way.

It is important to realsie that Islam is a religion of intention. We will be judged by this. We must be very clear that Allah knows what is in our heart.If we are doing an act for the sake of Allah, we must be very clear about the rationale behind it.

may Allah provide us all with awareness.[/quote]
