A good deed was supported by a quranic statement that did not square it.

If I were to say quran shld be used with care etc, I dont know if it will mean anything to you. However, peopel come here to take information, thus what is posted shld be sound.

I was so far being very peaceful to you.

I said "you may also provide evidence that these verses imply to a general order for a voluntary fast as you suggest."

To ask for evidence is Islamic.  It is not a fight, as you want to put it.

If one cannot provide evidence, for a "good deed", it may not be followed.  - to mention such a thing is also not a fight.

If there seems to be a discrepency in your post someone should point it out, if you dont like it, that is your problem.

You are not peaceful Blond. There is NO threat in my post and no expression of feelings. You want to see it, and you want to fight about it.

I pray you will be better soon.

Parenthetically, I find that eating one meal per day, with no snacks in between, provides a general level of good health and spirituality. I find that one meal every two days allows me to hardly ever be sick mentally, physically or spiritually. I also find that a diet consisting of living vegetables and fruit improved my health over when I ate the dead meat of animals. The level of my consciousness was literally raised from a dead level to a living perpendicular in actual terms.

Although there are times when this preventative approach will not help, due to our lifestyles and diets, medicine definitely is no cure for our ills, and we suffer from the side effects of taking them.

I hope this helps you.

I have fasted one day so far, and I have also been blessed to give money to the homeless on the street. This made them receptive to the word of Islam. 

I pray for success for all who can participate for this three day fast.

I will see you all on Monday, if not before.

As-Salaam Alaikum.

Assalamualaikum. Well, fasting is for Allah, not for unity or whatever...but if you fast, Allah will hear your pray or doa, inshaAllah...and thre's no evidence in Quran or Sunnah to do that kind of fast. we, the ummah cannot create any ibadah that not directed to us by Quran or Sunnah. so, if anybody wants to fast, make sure it is stated in the Quran or Sunnah. You can fast in Monday and Thursday as it has stated in Sunnah..and pray a lot for the unity of Ummah because the fast is the ibadah between you and Allah, but the pray is for to ask Allah whatever good thing you like. If every Muslim pray to Allah to unite the ummah in their fasting, may Allah answer the doa. wassalam.
