Virtues of Fasting

The Muslims who hopefully are glorified by Allah Ta'ala, the month of Ramadan is a month full of blessings, the month where all the good there is lots there, here we will define some virtue for a Muslim who is fasting for the month.
There are so many verses that explicitly and clearly in the Qur'an that gives advice to implement the fasting as a means to draw closer to God and Allah Ta'ala has made it clear virtues, such as his word:
"Verily, men and women who are Muslims, men and women who are believers, men and women who remain in obedience, men and women who are true, men and women who are patient, male and female solemn, men and women who give alms, men and women who fast, men and women who maintain his honor, men and women who many call (name of) Allah, Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward . '(Surat al-Ahzab: 35)
Fasting is a Shield For A Muslim
Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:
"O all the youth, whoever of you have been able to get married then he should marry, because marriage can further lower his gaze, and more guard of honor. Any person who has not been able to marry then let him fast, because fasting is a keeper for him. "(Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
So in this hadith the Prophet ordered for people who have strong syahwatnya but have not been able to get married then he should fast, because fasting can be a breaker of this lust, because fasting hold strong limbs to soothe the entire body can be controlled limbs and all the power (which ugly) can hold up to do obedience and in shackles with the control of fasting.
Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam also said:
"It is not a servant who fasted in the way of God except Allah will keep him (because of fasting) from hell as far as seventy-season." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
The purpose of the word Allah "70 seasons" is a journey of 70 years, as stated by Ibn Hajar in Fath Bari (6 / 48)
And the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

"He who fasted one day in the way of Allah then Allah will make between hell and he ditches that were located as far as earth and sky."
So the hadiths is a description of the virtues of fasting are done because the sincere hope of Allah Ta'ala's face in accordance with the instructions that have been described by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam.
Fasting Can Enter A Servant to In Heaven
Fasting can keep a servant of hell, which means bring him closer to heaven.
A friend said to the Prophet:
"O Prophet of God has shown me a practice that could put me in heaven."
Prophet said:
"When the going implement fast because no one like him." (Narrated by Nasaai, Ibn Hibbaan and Al Hakim)
Fasting Pahala People Unlimited, smell mouth More Than Wangi Wangi Musk and He Has Two Happiness
Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:
"All the good deeds the children of Adam are for him except fasting, because fasting is for Me and I shall reward, and fasting is a shield, if one of you is fasting then he must not say nasty and yelling. If there are people who chided him or fight him then let him say, 'actually I'm fasting'. And the soul of Muhammad by Allah in His hands, really bad breath a fasting person is more fragrant in the sight of Allah than the smell misk. People who are fasting has two joys, he rejoiced when breaking, and he rejoiced when he met with his Lord. "(Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
In the history of Bukhari stated:
"He is survived by eating, drinking and syahwatnya because of fasting for me, and I will recompense, and the good it will be multiplied ten times that."
In Muslim history it is stated:
"All the good deeds the children of Adam would be multiplied, a good will be rewarded with a ten-fold to 700 times as much, Allah Ta'ala says, 'Except for fasting really fasting is for Me and I will recompense, he left the lust and eat because I, then I shall reward. 'And for those who fasted have two happiness: happiness when breaking and happiness when he met with his Lord. It's really a fasting person's mouth at the sight of Allah is more fragrant than the scent of misk. "
Fasting and the Qur'an Will Provide Expert On Intercessory To Doomsday
Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:
"Fasting and Qur'an will intercede on the Day of Resurrection. Fasting say 'O my Lord, I prevent him from eating and lust in the day then give him intercede because of me.' Al-Qur'an also says, 'I prevent him from sleeping at night then give him intercession for it. "The Prophet said," So both will provide intercession. "(Narrated by Ahmad, Hakim)
Fasting As Kaffarat (Redeemer Who Ever Done)
Among the virtues of fasting that does not exist in other practice is to make it as kaffarat God for people who cut the hair of his head (when the pilgrimage) because there is pain or illness excuse in his head, fasting can also be kaffarat for people who are unable to give a sacrifice for the killer kaffarat unbelievers who have a covenant by accident, as well as for those who cancel kaffarat oath or who prey on the ground to kill the animals as unclean and kaffarat zhihar (mentalak wife).
Allah Ta'ala says:
"And complete the Hajj and 'Umrah for Allah. If you're surrounded (blocked by enemy or due to illness), then (Butcher) victims who are easily obtained, and do not you shave your head, before the victim arrived at the place penyembelihannya. If any of you who are sick or there is an interruption in his head (and then he shaved), then it berfidyah wajiblah, namely: fasting or alms or a sacrifice. If you have (feel) safe, so for anyone who wants to do 'Umrah before Hajj (in the month of pilgrimage), (he must slaughter) victims who are easily obtained. But if he does not find (or can not afford a sacrificial animal), then should fast three days during hajj and seven days (again) if you have come home again. That is ten (days) is perfect. So it (the obligation to pay fidyah) for people whose families do not have stayed (in the vicinity) Grand Mosque (the people who are not residents of Mecca). And fear Allah and know that Allah is strict in punishment. "(Surat al-Baqara: 196)
"It is not for a believer to kill a believer (who else), but because of mistake (accidentally), and whoever kills a believer by mistake (should) he set free a believing slave and pay diyat handed to his family (the killed it), except if they (family killed) in charity. If he (the killed) from the (unbelievers) that there is agreement (peace) between them with you, then (let the killer) to pay diyat handed to his family (he was killed) and freed slave who believe. He who does not get it, then he (the killer) fast two consecutive months for the acceptance of repentance to Allah, and Allah is knowing, Wise. "(Surah An-Nisaa: 92)
"God does not punish you because of your oaths that are not mentioned (for swearing), but He is punishing you because of your vows that you intentionally, then kaffarat (breaking) the oath, is to feed ten poor people, from ordinary foods you give to your family, or giving clothes to them or free a slave. Anyone who can not afford to do so, then kaffaratnya fast for three days, so it is kaffarat oaths when you swear (and you're broken), and keep your oaths. So God explained to you the laws of his order that ye may give thanks (to Him). "(Surat al-Maa-Idah: 89)
"O ye who believe, do not kill game, when you're ihram. Whoever among you killed him on purpose, then the fine is to replace the balance with the prey animals are killed, according to the decision of two just men among you as hadyu brought up to the Kaaba or the (penalty) to pay kaffarat by feeding people poor or fast-balanced with foods that issued it, that he might feel bad consequences of his actions. Allah has forgiven what is past. And He who re-do it, Allah will torture him. God Almighty has ceased to have (power to) torture. "(Surat al-Maa-Idah: 95)
