Meaning: fasting · Also translated as: the fast, then a fast
الصوم في الأصل: الإمساك عن الفعل مطعما كان، أو كلاما، أو مشيا، ولذلك قيل للفرس الممسك عن السير، أو العلف: صائم.
الصاد والواو والميم أصل يدل على إمساك وركود في مكان. من ذلك صوم الصائم، هو إمساكه عن مطعمه ومشربه وسائر ما منعه. ويكون الإمساك عن الكلام صوما، قالوا في قوله تعالى: ﴿إني نذرت للرحمن صوما﴾ [مريم: 26]، إنه الإمساك عن الكلام والصمت. وأما الركود فيقال للقائم صائم، قال النابغة:
Verses 1–7 of 7
O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you As it was prescribed To those before you, That ye may (learn) Self-restraint,—
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:183Permitted to you, On the night of the fasts, Is the approach to your wives. They are your garments And ye are their garments. God knoweth what ye Used to do secretly among yourselves; But He turned to you And forgave you; So now associate with them, And seek what God Hath ordained for you, And eat and drink, Until the white thread Of dawn appear to you Distinct from its black thread; Then complete your fast Till the night appears; But do not associate With your wives While ye are in retreat In the mosques. Those are Limits (set by) God: Approach not nigh thereto. Thus doth God make clear His Signs to men: that They may learn self-restraint.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:187And complete The .Hajj or ‘umra In the service of God. But if ye are prevented (From completing it), Send an offering For sacrifice, Such as ye may find, And do not shave your heads Until the offering reaches The place of sacrifice. And if any of you is ill, Or has an ailment in his scalp, (Necessitating shaving), (He should) in compensation Either fast, or feed the poor, Or offer sacrifice; And when ye are In peaceful conditions (again), If any one wishes To continue the ‘umra On to the ḥajj, He must make an offering, Such as he can afford, But if he cannot afford it, He should fast Three days during the ḥajj And seven days on his return, Making ten days in all. This is for those Whose household Is not in (the precincts Of) the Sacred Mosque. And fear God, And know that God. Is strict in punishment?
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:196Never should a Believer Kill a Believer; but (If it so happens) by mistake, (Compensation is due): If one (so) kills a Believer, It is ordained that he Should free a believing slave, And pay compensation To the deceased's family, Unless they remit it freely. If the deceased belonged To a people at war with you, And he was a Believer, The freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). If he belonged To a people with whom Ye have a treaty of mutual Alliance, compensation should Be paid to his family, And a believing slave be freed. For those who find this Beyond their means, (is prescribed) A fast for two months Running: by way of repentance To God: for God hath All knowledge and all wisdom.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:92God will not call you To account for what is Futile in your oaths, But He will call you To account for your deliberate Oaths: for expiation, feed Ten indigent persons, On a scale of the average For the food of your families; Or clothe them; or give A slave his freedom. If that is beyond your means, Fast for three days. That is the expiation For the oaths ye have sworn. But keep to your oaths. Thus doth God make clear To you His Signs, that ye May be grateful.
Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 5:89O ye who believe! Kill not game While in the Sacred Precincts or in pilgrim garb. If any of you doth so Intentionally, the compensation Is an offering, brought To the Ka’ba, of a domestic animal Equivalent to the one he killed, As adjudged by two just men Among you; or by way Of atonement, the feeding Of the indigent; or its Equivalent in fasts: that he May taste of the penalty Of his deed. God Forgives what is past: For repetition God will Exact from him the penalty. For God is Exalted, And Lord of Retribution.
Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 5:95And if any has not (The wherewithal), He should fast for Two months consecutively Before they touch each other. But if any is unable To do so, he should feed Sixty indigent ones. This, that ye may show Your faith in God And His Apostle. Those are limits (set By) God. For those who Reject (Him), there is A grievous Penalty.
Surah Al-Mujadila, verse 58:4
