"Although in Islam there is no compulsion for someone to fast, especially for certain reasons, a Muslim is forbidden to intentionally break their fast. This is because of the severe punishment from Allah SWT if one does so. As explained in the following hadith: "From Abu Umamah, he said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say, 'While I was sleeping, I dreamed that two angels came to me carrying my shoulders.'"

"Then they brought me, and at that moment I found a group of people whose bodies were hanging, with blood flowing from their broken mouths. I asked, 'Who are they?' He replied, 'They are the people who broke their fast before they were allowed to break their fast.'" (HR. An-Nasa'i)

"Fasting is an act of worship that is kept secret between the servant and Allah SWT. When someone refrains from eating, drinking, and desires for the sake of Allah, they draw closer to Him. Fasting is the purest and most sincere form of obedience, as only Allah knows a person's intention to fast."

Sure! Here is the translated text while preserving the HTML tags: "Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:  “Whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan with full faith and hopes for reward from Allah, then his past sins will be forgiven.” (HR. Bukhari and Muslim).   Fasting has the power to erase minor sins and purify the heart of a Muslim."

"In the hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslim, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) mentioned that in paradise there is a door called Ar-Rayyan, which will only be entered by those who fast. This is an extraordinary virtue, as evidence of Allah SWT's appreciation for His obedient servants in fasting."

"Fasting is a real exercise in patience. Restraining oneself from things that are permissible on regular days (such as eating and drinking) trains a Muslim to control desires, be patient, and resist worldly temptations. It helps in enhancing discipline and self-control."

"Besides spiritual benefits, fasting also provides health benefits. Fasting helps detoxify the body, rest the digestive system, and improve metabolism. From a spiritual perspective, fasting cleanses the heart and mind from unhelpful things, helping a person achieve inner peace."

"Fasting, especially fasting during the month of Ramadan, is one of the acts of worship whose rewards are multiplied by Allah SWT. Every good deed performed during fasting, whether it is prayer, reading the Al-Qur'an, or charity, will receive rewards that are much greater compared to regular days."

"Fasting teaches a Muslim to feel the suffering of others who are less fortunate, who often experience hunger and thirst. Thus, fasting encourages greater care and sharing with one another, as well as eliminating social gaps through almsgiving and charity."
