Protection, so fasting established its place in prevention, and it is nothing like it, and fasting is a form of worship. This is the difference between describing the truth in denying homosexuality and describing fasting with it

[ He forbade the fasting person from obscenity, clamor and fighting .]

Then the legislator forbade the fasting and forbade leaving a negative epithet. He said he should not be obnoxious or arrogant, so he did not command him to do, rather he forbade him to be characterized by an action and fasting to be abandoned, so the connection between fasting and what was forbidden by the fasting person became clear. You, the fighter and the insulter are on my side, so he absolved himself from the command of his Lord from this deed, for he is declaring that he is neglectful, that is, he does not have the attribute of cursing or fighting for the one who insults and fights him.

[ Fasting the mouth of the fasting person with God ]

Then he said, By the One in Whose Hand is Muhammad s soul, he swears, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, to leave the mouth of the fasting person, and he changes the smell of the mouth of the fasting person, which is only found with breathing, and he breathed with these good words that he was commanded, which is his saying: I am fasting. With God, he came with the all-encompassing name, which is ascribed to all the names, so he came with a name that has no likeness, since no one was named with this name except God, the Glorified. Because attributing the perception of odors to God is not similar to the perception of odors through the muzzle, so it is a khalaf to us, and God Almighty has this khaluf above the scent of musk, for it is a described soul, not similar to what was described, so it does not resemble the smell, for the smell of the fasting person is from breathing, and the smell of musk is not from breathing from musk.

[ Ibn Arabi at Musa bin Muhammad al-Qubab in the Haram of Makkah ]

And we have a similar incident. I was with Musa bin Muhammad al-Qubab in the minaret in the sanctuary of Makkah at the Hazora Gate, and he used to give the call to prayer, and he had food whose smell would offend everyone who smelled it. To tell that man to remove that food from the mosque for the sake of the angels, so I saw the Almighty God in sleep. He said to me, the Almighty, do not tell him about the food, for its smell to us is not the same as what you have. For me, sir, and with this, etiquette with the law is more important, so he removed it from the mosque, may God have mercy on him

[ Bad smells are repelled by healthy moods ]

And since the unpleasant and evil odors are alienated by the natural, healthy moods of a person and a king, because of what they feel of harm due to inappropriateness, then the truth about bad smells is understood only by God and whoever is in the mood of acceptance for him from the animal or the human being who has the temperament of that animal has no king and for this he said with God The fasting person also from being a person with a healthy mood hates the breaking of fasting from himself and others, and does any of the healthy creatures realize the mood of his Lord at some time or in some scene and realize evil smells are good at all? Especially the one who is in a turbulent mood and what is offended by it is not good for the owner of that mood, so we said absolutely, if the predominant mood is good musk, roses and the like, and the one who is offended by these good odors is a strange mood, i.e., unusual. Smell or not, this is what we tasted from ourselves, and it is not reported to us that anyone realized that. Rather, it is reported from perfection by people and from angels being harmed by these evil smells, and nothing is unique to realizing that good except the truth. This is what is transmitted, and I do not know either An animal other than a human being in that is because I did not establish the truth in the image of an animal other than a human being, as it established me at times in the images of its angels, and God knows best.

[ The Gate of Ar-Rayyan in Paradise from which the fasting people enter ]

Moreover, the Sharia has described fasting by means of the meaning of perfection, which has no perfection above it, when the truth singled out a special chapter for it and named it with a special name that seeks perfection. Whether or not a land is one of the two lands of animals, Muslim came out from the hadith of Sahl bin Saad

The Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said that in Paradise there is a gate called Al-Rayyan, through which those who fast will enter on the Day of Resurrection, and no one will enter with them except them.

He did not say that about anything that forbids or enjoins worship except in fasting, so it was clear by Rayyan that they attained an attribute of perfection in action, as they were characterized by something that has no equal, as previously mentioned.
