Self-control
Self-control is the cognitive ability to regulate impulses, emotions, and behaviors to achieve long-term goals. Fasting inherently serves as the ultimate training ground for self-control, where a Muslim voluntarily abstains from food and drink for the sake of Allah, granting them a resilient will to overcome life's temptations.
Quranic Verse:
