Conclusion<br />

In the light of all discussion which is authentic too, it can be concluded that the<br />

observance of fasting is found much earlier than Islam. The words of Holy Quran strongly<br />

advocate this notion.<br />

As it was prescribed for those before you.<br />

Fasting is a pillar of Islam but it also occupies a high status in other religions as well<br />

including the most ancient Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity etc.<br />

Islam being a complete code of life carries unlimited wisdom in all its commands<br />

whether they are worships or daily matters. Fasting as the fourth pillar of Islam is also full of<br />

profound advantages for humankind without regard of religion. That is the reason that it has<br />

been in vogue since the very beginning. Moreover the recent researches of medical sciences<br />

prove its unlimited advantages.<br />

Medical sciences show its vital role in making a human body rich in health. The<br />

opinions of European Doctors given at the end of the article show that they prescribe it as a<br />

cure for certain fatal diseases such as Cancer and Asthma. It also proves handy in curing<br />

obesity causing sterility. It has been found more useful than expensive treatments in diabetes<br />

and hypertension. In the light of all its advantages which cannot be taken into account one<br />

can say that fasting carries great importance both as an act of worship and as a curing<br />

technique.<br />
