That is why via this Quranic verse Allah ordained the Prophet not to make his voice in prayers too high to be heard by infidels and not too low so as to be heard by his companions, but adopt the middle way between high and low voice. Thus, the recitation of the Quran calls for moderate voice, and so moderation is need in all life&#8217;s activities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 9.2pt; line-height: 18.4pt; background: #f1f4f6;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; color: #666666;\"><br \/> <\/span><span style=\"color: blue;\">Some hadiths concerned with moderation in fasting:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 9.2pt; line-height: 18.4pt; background: #f1f4f6;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; color: #666666;\"><br \/> <\/span><span style=\"color: #666666;\">&#8211; Abdullah Bin Al-As said that Prophet Muhammad said to him: &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"color: #339966;\">I told you once to fast every day and pray the whole night every night, but I tell you now not to do both acts of worship on a daily basis; fast and eat; pray and sleep; give your body its share of rest and to your wife her due share of your time and care.
