Explaining the joy of the fasting person when he breaks his fast and meets his Lord

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu 'Ammar, says: The fasting person has two joys, and this was mentioned in a hadith. Is the joy of the one who fasts physical or spiritual?

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified this by saying: "Joy when he breaks his fast, and joy when he meets his Lord." The joy when he breaks his fast is due to the food and drink that Allah has made permissible for him, which was forbidden to him during the time of fasting and which he needs. So there is no doubt that he will feel a natural joy and a religious joy. Joy when he breaks his fast, and joy when he meets his Lord, and this is the greatest, because of what Allah has prepared for the fasting people in terms of honor. He has prepared for them a special gate in Paradise called al-Rayyan, through which the fasting people enter, and no one else enters through it. When they enter, it is closed. Yes.
