FASTING TEACHES SYMPATHY FOR THE HUNGRY.
Fasting is the only method whereby the pangs or hunger, the ever present companion of
the poor, are experienced by the rich. Thus this experience kindles a spirit of kindness to
the poor and distressed. It also gives rise to the thought of how people will fare on the
day of Resurrection, when the greatest urge of hunger and thirst will be felt.
