According to Sufism scholars, there are three types of fasting: the fasting of the masses, the fasting of the special people, and the fasting of the most special people. What is the difference between them?
"O my Lord! Here is Your disobedient servant standing at Your door. Distance from You has made him unhappy. The distance between has broken his back. O My Lord! I know that You have many servants besides me. But I have no Lord but You. Give me the victory of the scholars. Accept me among the repentant ones. Do it. Write me among your servants who stay at night. Raise me among those who fast!" Ramadan is not a month of dieting to maintain health. It is our way and our resting place. When we are tired from the hardships of the road, we put our burdens on our shoulders only in the presence of our Lord. We are from Allah, we are with Allah and we belong to Allah!
