How does fasting during Ramadan differ from regular fasting?
Fasting during Ramadan is an act of worship for the sake of Allah with spiritual goals: strengthening faith, cultivating patience and compassion. Unlike regular fasting for health or weight loss, it has a religious foundation, strict time constraints, and is accompanied by prayers, Quran reading, and charity. The main point is the sincere intention to draw closer to the Almighty, not worldly benefits.
