“According to Imam Al-Ghazali there are 3 grades of fasting: ordinary, special, and extra-special.

1. Ordinary Fasting means abstaining from food drink and sexual satisfaction.

2. Special Fasting means keeping one’s ears, eyes, tongue, hands and feet - and all other organs - free from harming the self or others.

3. Extra-Special Fasting means fasting of the heart from unworthy concerns and worldly thoughts, in total disregard of everything but God.”
