| Comparison The way of Jesus Christ (Peace be upon him) Following the earlier Prophets and Fulfilling their Laws.
7- Fasting Moses (Peace be upon him) fasted for forty days by neither eat nor drink, he did neither eat bread, nor drink water: (Deuteronomy 9:9), (Exodus 34: 28). Earlier prophets also fasted, David (Peace be upon him): (2 Samuel 12:22), Elijah (Peace be upon him): (1 Kings 19:8), Ezra (Peace be upon him): (Ezra 10:6), Daniel (Peace be upon him): (Daniel 9:3).
Special months of fasting were instituted during the Babylonian captivity of Judah: (Zechariah 8:19). A specific fast day: (Jeremiah 36:6). A precise month for fasting (the ninth month): (Jeremiah 36:9).
Jesus Christ (Peace be upon him) fulfilled this law, and fasted for forty days by neither eat nor drink, afterward Jesus (Peace be upon him) was hungry: (Matthew 4:2), (Matthew 6:16), (Matthew 17:21).
Jesus (Peace be upon him) carefully followed and fulfilled this law.
Christians' way The way that Christians fast differs, some Christians abstain from solid food, others don't eat special foods as (meat, fish, chicken and eggs), some others don't drink special drinks as (milk and wine).
Christians don't fast like Jesus (Peace be upon him) by neither eat nor drink for a certain period of time, they do not taste hunger and thirst.
Christians do not follow the law fulfilled by Jesus (Peace be upon him).
Muslims' way Muslims fast from dawn until dusk for the whole month of Ramadan (ninth lunar month), abstaining from food, drink, sexual intercourse, smoking, backbiting, lying and some other pleasures. Muslims taste hunger and thirst, the fasting helps them to obey God, be more sensitive to the sufferings of others, develop self-discipline and appreciate their unity. The Noble Qur'an (2:183-185, 187, 196).
