2:183
No `ibadat of Islam is devoid of medical wisdom and benefit. Take for instance, fasting of the month of Ramadan, that it is the best means of the purification of heart and the dissolving of carnal soul. The purpose of this is taqwa, so that it may enable a mu'min to progress towards the desired destination. As God says: “O you who believe! fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that (due to which, gradually) you may attain taqwa.” (2:183).
The importance and usefulness of hunger among the religions of the world is such that, it is given the status of a supreme ibadat (2:183). The dire need of hunger is also felt in medical science, in the form of diet, starvation, prevention, etc. In addition, so long as there is no comfort or rest and silence in the stomach of a person, he can neither do any mental work peacefully, nor any successful ibadat.
