斋戒与斋月

 

斋戒的意义与斋月的意义是有区别的。斋戒的意义在于培养我们的敬畏，斋月则是要拉近我们与古兰的距离。若你无法在斋月中对古兰有更多的理解，若你无法在斋月中对古兰产生更多的喜爱，斋月的精神也就荡然无存。

译自：

The purpose of fasting and the purpose of Ramadan are different. The purpose of fasting is to develop taqwa. The purpose of Ramadan is to get closer to the Quran. The spirit of Ramadan is lost if you don't come out of it knowing a little more Quran than you did before. The spirit is lost if you don’t come out of Ramadan more in love with the Quran than you were before.
