[quote]it was a pleasure to hear from one of our interfaith senior friends robert packer during a discussion about fasting on a recent faith show on a local bbc progrme that fasting is mentioned in mathews and jesus advised to fast but in secret saying that only you or your father in the heavens should know about it. and he said therefore perhaps there are christians who fast behid the churches but never let the public know in order to keep their rewards. robert also told us that these fasts are usually observed when one has to ask God for something i.e. for praying; however islam encourages to observe the obligatory fasts together in a particular month and Qur'an tells us that fasting has been prescribed for us muslims as it was prescribed for the ones before us- but the optional fasts can be observed anytime of the year preferably without disclosing-and they can be observed for thanks giving or for praying for something-or merely just to attain more and more purification as the basic purpose of any religion, worship and the purpose of the prophets was nothing but to help people attain purification of the body, mind and soul(tazkyyah)[/quote]
