“Shaykh ul Hadeeth Muhammad Zakariyyah rahmatullahi alayh commenting on the verse of the Qur’aan ‘fasting has been prescribed for you’ has stated that”:

‘The commentators of the Qur’aan have deduced from this verse that fasting is compulsory for every part of the body.

Thus, fasting of the tongue means to avoid all the sins of the tongue. Fasting of the ears means to refrain from all the sins of the ears.

Fasting of the eyes means not to look at any form of evil and sin. Fasting of the self means to be free from all carnal desires.

Fasting of the heart means casting out from it the love of worldly things. And fasting of the mind means avoiding thoughts about anything other than Allah ta’ala.’
