"(It was) the month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’aan, a
guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion
(between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the
first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he
must observe Sawm (fasts) that month…"

"Allah is with those who restrain themselves."
~ [Quran 16: 128] |
"He is the One GOD; the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him
belong the most beautiful names. Glorifying Him is everything in the
heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, Most Wise."
~ [Quran 59:24] |
"Allaah has made Laylat al-Qadr in this month, which is better than a
thousand months, as Allaah says...The Night of Al-Qadr is better than a
thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the Rooh [Jibreel
(Gabriel)] by Allaah's
Permission with all Decrees, there is peace until the appearance of
dawn."
~ [al-Qadar 97:1-5] |
"(Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any of you is ill, or on a
journey, the prescribed number (Should be made up) from days later. For
those who can do it (With hardship), is a ransom, the feeding of one
that is indigent. But he that will give more, of his own free will,- it
is better for him. And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only
knew"
~ [al-Baqarah, 2:184] |
"O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to
those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint."
~ [al-Baqarah, 2:183] |
"When My servants ask you about Me, I am always near. I answer their
prayers when they pray to Me. The people shall respond to Me and believe
in Me, in order to be guided."
~ [al-Baqarah, 2:186] |
"Permitted for you is sexual intercourse with your wives during the
nights of fasting. They are the keepers of your secrets, and you are the
keepers of their secrets. GOD knew that you used to betray your souls,
and He has redeemed you, and has pardoned you. Henceforth, you may have
intercourse with them, seeking what GOD has permitted for you. You may
eat and drink until the white thread of light becomes distinguishable
from the dark thread of night at dawn. Then, you shall fast until
sunset. Sexual intercourse is prohibited if you decide to retreat to the
Masjid (during the last ten days of Ramadan). These are GOD's laws; you
shall not transgress them. GOD thus clarifies His revelations for the
people, that they may attain salvation."
~ [al-Baqarah, 2:187] |
