Three Levels of Fasting According to Imam Al-Ghazali, Which One Are You?

Muslims who observe the fasting of Ramadan will receive blessings in the sight of Allah SWT.

Dream - Fasting is part of Allah SWT's command. Especially fasting in the month of Ramadan which is obligatory for both men and women who have reached puberty. However, Islam itself is a religion that does not make it difficult for its followers. When there are followers who are sick, elderly, postpartum, or menstruating for women, they are allowed not to fast. However, it is mandatory to make up for the missed fasts or pay fidyah.

Even so, the command to fast has been explained in the Al-Quran through several verses in it.

Three Levels of People who Fast According to Imam Al-Ghazali, Which One Are You?

Muslims who observe the fasting of Ramadan will receive glory in the eyes of Allah SWT. However, this glory is determined by the level of fasting that is practiced. What are these levels? Here is an explanation as summarized by Dream through various sources.

Ayat Al-Quran tentang Puasa Ramadan

Verse of the Quran about Ramadan Fasting

"In the Al-Quran, it has been explained about the command to observe Ramadan fasting. Here are the verses that need to be known by Dream friends:"

1. Surat Al-Baqarah Verse 183

يَايَّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ Translation: "O you who have believed, fasting has been prescribed upon you as it was prescribed upon those before you, that you may become righteous."

2. Surat Al-Baqarah Ayat 184

"يَيَامًا مَعْدُودَةً فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۚ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ ۖ فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُ ۚ وَأَن تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ" Translation: "A few days (are designated for fasting). So whoever among you is ill or on a journey (during them) - then an equal number of days (are to be made up). And upon those who are able (to fast, but with hardship) - a ransom (as substitute) of feeding a poor person (each day). And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew."

For those who find it difficult to fast, they must pay fidyah, that is, to feed a poor person. Whoever willingly performs good deeds, it is better for them, and fasting is better for you if you only knew.

So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful."

Therefore, whoever among you witnesses the month (in his place of residence or not as a traveler), let him fast. Whoever is sick or on a journey (and does not fast), then he must make up for the missed days on other days. Allah desires ease for you and does not desire hardship. So, complete the prescribed period and glorify Allah for the guidance He has bestowed upon you, so that you may be grateful.

They are a garment for you and you are a garment for them. Allah knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and forgave you."

"Three Levels of People Fasting"

Quoted from jabar.nu.or.id, through the Book of Ihya Ulumuddin by Imam Ghazali, it is explained about the levels of fasting which are divided into three groups as follows:

"The First Group"

The first group is those who fast only to fulfill the fast itself so that nothing enters from its top hole or exits from its bottom hole. In essence, they only maintain their fast so that it is not invalidated by eating and drinking, and not engaging in sexual intercourse.

Second Group

The second group is those who, after guarding their mouth and stomach from food that can invalidate fasting and controlling their desires, also guard their eyes, ears, tongue, and every part of their body from sinful and immoral actions.

               

Third Group

The third group not everyone can reach this level. Namely the group that has gone through the first and second groups. So, they have truly guarded their hearts. They only think about Allah SWT alone in the month of Ramadan. They only think about how to increase their love for Allah SWT and the Prophet Muhammad. They also avoid thoughts that are worldly in nature.
