Mistake #6: Fasting but not giving up evil
Some of us fast but do not give up lying, cursing, fighting, backbiting, etc. And some of us fast but do not give up cheating, stealing, dealing in haraam, buying lotto tickets, selling alcohol, fornicating, etc. and doing all kinds of impermissible things, without realizing that the purpose of fasting is not to stay away from food and drink, but rather it’s to fear Allah.
Mistake #7: Not fasting if you missed Suhoor
Some people are too scared to fast if they miss Suhoor. However, this is a kind of cowardice and love of ease. What is the big deal if you missed a few morsels of food? It’s not like you will die. Remember, obedience to Allah overcomes everything.
