Fasting is a "secret" service. Only ourselves and Allah SWT know whether we perform fasting or not. Another case with worship prayers that can be seen by others. Fasting is an opportunity given by Allah SWT to practice honest honest honesty to yourself. If honesty in this fast we practice in everyday life then we will be a person of trust and life becomes calm. His true fast is a very special worship unlike any other worship. Fasting is very effective for raising piety and educating someone to be an honest person.
Fasting can cultivate a sense of gratitude to God and cultivate a sense of affection or empathy for others. For when the fasting person feels thirsty and hungry, he can imagine how hard the suffering of the needy poor will be. This on the one hand can cause gratitude, because so far Allah has bestowed sustenance to us so we never suffer hunger and deprivation. If we are grateful for all the blessings and gifts that Allah has given us, then Allah will add more blessings and gifts that have been bestowed upon us. With that sense of empathy we will be moved to help those who are less well off. Therefore, in fasting we continue to multiply alms. The great reward will await when we give food and drink to break the fast for those who are fasting, which is prioritized from the less fortunate.
