Our motivation for this treatise was to follow in the footsteps of the Salaf as-Salih (righteous early predecessors), who were at the forefront in teaching the obligations of Islam.

This treatise is based on the works of Shaykh Abdul-Aziz bin Marzouq at-Tarefe. We have primarily relied upon the book he has written ‘The Summarised Description of the Salah, Fasting, I’tikaf and Night prayer of the Prophet' (ﷺ). The chapters have been summarised and restricted to only describing the Fasting of the Prophet (ﷺ). References have been quoted under each chapter, and definitions have been given for some Islamic terminologies.
