Why are you fasting? The answer to this questions determines your reward on Judgment Day. Monks fast. Some poeple fast to lose weight. Is it a cultural thing?

Or is it because Allah is worthy of worship, and only He deserves your fast? That you are seeking His reward? This is what the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said--"Whoever fasted Ramadan with belief, hoping for the reward from Allah, all his previous sins will be forgiven." [Bukhari/Muslim]
