Quotes Regardning Ramadhan

“O Believers! Fast is prescribed for you as it was for those before you so that you may ward off evil. (Fast) a certain number of days…”

(Qur'an: 2:182-183)

“And men who fast and women who fast…God has prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward.”

(Qur’an 33:35)

“Thirst and hunger you undergo, feel and live through, here and now, to bring to your mind the severity and sharpness of the drought and starvation that will be the order of the day on the Day of Judgment.

  • Give alms to the poor and destitute.
  • Treat your parents and elders with respect.
  • Be kind and loving to your children and juniors.
  • Take care of and look after your relatives.
  • Keep from giving tongue to that which should not even be whispered.
  • Shut your eyes to that which is indecent to have an eye for.
  • Turn a deaf ear to that which is too slanderous to be all ears to.
  • Be compassionate, gentle and benign unto orphans so that after you, your children, if need be, receive the same treatment from others.
  • Turn repentant to God and seek His nearness.”

Holy Prophet (PBUH)

“The Books of Abraham were revealed on the first night of Ramadan; the Torah was revealed on the sixth of Ramadan; the Gospel was revealed on the thirteenth of Ramadan . . ., and the Holy Qur’an on the twenty-third of Ramadan.”

Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (AS)

“During Laylatul Qadr, the angels, the spirit, and the trusted scribes all descend to the lower heavens and write down whatever God decrees that year, and if God wishes to advance something or postpone it or add thereto, He orders the angel to erase it and replace it with whatever He decrees.”

Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (AS)

“[The month of Ramadan is] overflowing with advantages, merciful, ready to put up your sins of omission and commission to God for obtaining his forgiveness. Its days, nights and hours, in the estimation of God, are more select, refined and important than the days, nights and hours of other months. It surpasses all months in merits and favors.…. So, sincerely, free from evil and sinful thoughts and actions, with clear conscience, pray and request that God may give you heart and confidence to observe fast… throughout this month..”

Holy Prophet (PBUH)
