Virtues of Salah
• ""When they (the Hypocrites) stand up for Salah they perform it without earnestness and want but to be seen by men and are mindful of Allah but little."" (Al-Qur'an 4:142)
• ""Woe unto worshippers who are heedless of their Salah; who want but to be seen at Salah.""(Al-Qur'an 107:4-6)
• "“Their flesh and their blood reach not Allah, but devotion from you reaches to him.”" (Al-Qura’n 22:37)
• ""And those who guard their Salah. They will dwell in Gardens, honoured. "" (Al-Qur'an 70:34-35)
• ""Lo Salah restrains from shameful and unjust deeds."" (Al-Qur'an 29:45)

Things That Break one's Fast
• Anything put by force into the mouth of a fasting person. Putting oil into the ear. Inhaling snuff into the nostrils.
• Water going down the throat whilst gargling, (whilst being conscious of one’s fast).
• To vomit mouthful intentionally or to return vomit down the throat.
• Swallowing intentionally a pebble, piece of paper or any item that is not used as food or medicine.
• Swallowing something edible, equal to or bigger than a grain of gram which was stuck between the teeth. However, if it is first taken out of the mouth and swallowed, it will break the fast whether it is smaller or bigger than the size of a gram.
• Swallowing the blood from the gums if the colour of the blood is more than the saliva with which it is mixed.
• To eat and drink forgetting that one is fasting and thereafter thinking that the fast is broken, to eat and drink again.
• To eat and drink after Subha Saadiq or to break the fast before sunset due to a cloudy sky or a faulty watch, etc., and then realising one’s fault.

Things That Do Not Break the Fast
• To eat or drink something unintentionally.
• A mosquito, fly or any other object going down the throat unintentionally.
• Water entering the ears. Dust or dirt going down the throat.
• Swallowing one’s OWN saliva. Taking an injection. Applying of Surma (kohl) into the eyes.
• Taking a bath to keep cool. Rubbing oil onto the body or hair.
• To vomit unintentionally. A dream which makes ghusl WAAJIB (necessary) does NOT break the Roza.
• Applying itr or perfume. It is NOT permitted to inhale the smoke of Lobaan or Agar Batti whilst fasting. It is also NOT permitted to smoke cigarettes or inhale its smoke. Brushing teeth without tooth paste or powder, e.g., using a Miswaak, etc.
