In Ainm Dé, an té is grásta, an té is trócaireach
Fasting is a common form of worship among the various religions across the world. Its spiritual benefits are widely recognized even though its frequency, practice and duration may differ from faith to faith. Islam places great importance on the act of fasting, calling it one of the pillars of worship, along with prayer, charity and pilgrimage.
Deir Dia sa Quran, leabhar naofa Ioslam,"You who believe, fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may be mindful of God" (2:183).
Múineann Ioslam go bhfuil Dia (Allahsan Araibis) a sheol go leor fáithe ó thús an chine dhaonna, lena n-áirítear Ádhamh, Noah, Abrahám, Maois, Íosa agus Muhammad (síocháin dóibh uile). Mar sin, roinneann Ioslam bunluachanna ar nós creideamh i nDia chomh maith le tiomantas don cheartas agus do bhua leis an Chríostaíocht agus an Giúdachas; mar an gcéanna, tá troscadh i bhfoirm amháin nó i gcruth eile comónta do na trí chreideamh Abrahamacha agus, go deimhin, don chuid is mó de na reiligiúin ar fud an domhain.
San Ioslam, is é an troscadh ceann de na mórghníomhartha adhartha agus is bealach é chun feasacht Dé a bhaint amach. Mar aon le gnéithe fisiceacha an troscadh, íonaíonn a thoisí spioradálta an t-anam, spreagann sé féinmhachnamh agus spreagann sé maireachtáil éirimiúil.
