Fasting/importance of fasting

:blue_book: Sura 2:183. O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) "self"-restraint,-
2:184. (Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any of you is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed number (should be made up) from days later. For those who can do it (with hardship), is a ransom, the feeding of one that is destitute. But he that will give more, of his own free will,- it is better for him. And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew.
2:185. The Koran was sent down at the same time of year as The Torah, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong – Sura 2:53). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that period should spend it in fasting (Matthew 6:1-18), but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (should be made up) by days later. God intends every facility for you; He does not want to put you to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perhaps ye shall be grateful.

Matt. 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Thomas 5:6 Jesus said: If you fast not from the world, you will not find the Kingdom; if you keep not the Sabbath (Saturday) as Sabbath [for studying God’s Word], you will not see the Father.

4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the Holy City, and setteth him on a pinnacle of The Temple,

You need to drink the right type of water, other wises your body will suffer.

If your going to do a 40 plus day water fast that is.

The best right type of water is mineral water because of the electrolytes contained in mineral water.

Without electrolytes your body will tail spin with illness.

Correct me if wrong but the reason experts do not recommend fasting is because of lack of electrolytes.

Mineral water has natural electrolytes as the creator intended.

safe and beneficial to drink while fasting because it contains zero calories, carbohydrates, or proteins, meaning it will not break a fast, trigger an insulin response, or disrupt fat burning and autophagy. [1]

Benefits of Mineral Water During a Fast

  • Electrolyte Replenishment: Fasting causes the body to quickly flush out water and key minerals like sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Mineral water helps replace these lost nutrients. [1, 2, 3]
  • Prevents "Fasting Flu": Maintaining mineral and fluid levels can reduce common side effects like headaches, dizziness, muscle cramps, and fatigue.
  • Curbs Appetite: Sparkling or carbonated mineral waters (such as Gerolsteiner) can promote a feeling of fullness in the stomach, which helps manage hunger pangs and cravings

Yes, mineral water is highly recommended and perfectly safe to drink while fasting.

Because natural mineral water contains zero calories, carbohydrates, or protein, it will not trigger an insulin response or break your fast. [1]

In fact, many health experts prefer it over regular filtered water during a fasting window. When you fast, your body rapidly flushes out water and essential electrolytes. Drinking only plain water can dilute your remaining mineral stores, leading to the "fasting flu"—symptoms like headaches, dizziness, muscle cramps, and fatigue. Mineral water naturally replenishes these lost nutrients.

Fast.
Quick
Quickening.

  • Acceleration of Speed: It can mean the act of making something go faster, speeding up a pace, or accelerating.
  • Bringing to Life or Reviving: In literary or older contexts, it means to animate, stir up, or bring something to life (such as seeds sprouting or a pulse quickening with emotion).

Your welcome.

I think like alcohol which makes the evil telepathic voice louder, this water fasting would make the good telepathic voice louder.

For 40 plus days of water fasting you need the right water type to drink.

Too be honest i think the intention is when you complete a 40 plus day water fast would cause you to repent.

It was the first thing Jesus did.

Agreed.
Have used this specific water while water only fasting, and a difference was felt in the beings energy level. The being has more energy than the body ever will.

Repentance. Find The True Meaning of Life, shouldn't everyone be looking for and following The KINGChrist, The only Example.
Hope on, Love on, Strive on, and Love and Joy are said to do anything, so JOY on.

:blue_book:Sura 2:196. And complete The Pilgrimage or pilgrimage in the service of God. But if ye are prevented (from completing it), send an offering for sacrifice, such as ye may find, and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches the place of sacrifice. And if any of you is ill, or has an ailment in his scalp, (necessitating shaving), (he should) in compensation either fast, or feed the poor, or offer sacrifice; and when ye are in peaceful conditions (again), if any one wishes to continue the pilgrimage on to The Pilgrimage, he must make an offering, such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, he should fast three days during The Pilgrimage and seven days on his return, making ten days in all. This is for those whose household is not in (the precincts of) the Holy Place. And fear God, and know that God IS strict in punishment.
