Ustadh Michael Wolfender tells us in Surah Hud Allah uses stories of the examples of His prophets to demonstrate sincerity, humility and patience. Our goal is to emulate these prophets’ examples, but many people don’t and reject this sincere message. Use fasting to make yourself among those who aren’t stubborn and refuse to listen to the proof from Allah.

The first ayah of the eleventh surah explains the relevance of the parts of the prophets stories relayed in the Qur’an. The second ayah continues indicating the prophets all provided the same message and brought good news. These messengers relayed the message of Allah only for Allah. They are patient. But people are stubborn, replying ‘We don’t understand. You haven’t given us proof.’ This response carries through throughout time. Believers are always few. Among Muslims, few fast. Fast to grow sincerity, humility, and patience. 

May Allah give us blessings through His Wise Qur’an.
