How should we spend Ramazan according to Quran and Sunnah
THE QURAN ON FASTING
"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that
you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious).
(Fasting) for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number
(should be made up) from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (i.e. an old
man, etc.), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a poor person (for every day). But
whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast, it is better for you if
only you know." (2:183-84)
"The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, 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), he must fast that month, and whoever
is ill or on a journey, the same number (of days which one did not fast must be made up) from
other days.
Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that
you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah for having
guided you so that you may be grateful to Him" (2: 185).
"It is made lawful for you to have sexual relations with your wives on the night of the fasts. They
are garments for you and you are the same for them. Allah knows that you used to deceive
yourselves, so He turned to you and forgave you. So now have sexual relations with them and
seek that which Allah has ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white thread (light) of
dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night), then complete your fast
till the nightfall.
And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives) while you are in Itikaf in the mosques.
These are the limits (set) by Allah, so approach them not. Thus does Allah make clear His signs
to mankind that they may become Al Muttaqun (the pious)" (2:187).
And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr is?
Therein descend the angels and the Ruh (Gabriel) by Allah's Permission with all Decrees,
Abu Huraira related that Rasulullah said: If anyone omits his fast even for one day in Ramadan
without a concession or without being ill, then if he were to fast for the rest of his life he could
not make up for it (Bukhari).
Abu Huraira related that the Prophet said: Allah the Majestic and Exalted said: "Every deed of
man will receive ten to 700 times reward, except Siyam (fasting), for it is for Me and I shall
reward it (as I like). There are two occasions of joy for one who fasts: one when he breaks the
fast and the other when he will meet his Lord" (Muslim).
Abu Huraira related that Rasulullah said: Many people who fast get nothing from their fast
except hunger and thirst, and many people who pray at night get nothing from it except
wakefulness (Darimi).
Ibn Umar related that the Prophet said: Do not start fasting unless you see the new moon, and do
not end fasting until you see it. If the weather is cloudy then calculate when it should appear
(Bukhari, Muslim).
Anas related that Rasulullah said: Take the Suhoor meal, for there is blessing in it (Bukhari,
Muslim).
Salman ibn Amir Dhabi related that the Prophet said: Break your fast with dates, or else with
water, for it is pure (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi).
Aisha related that Rasulullah was asked whether one should fast when on a journey, and he
replied: Fast if you like, or postpone it if you like (Bukhari, Muslim).
Behavior while fasting
Abu Huraira related that the Prophet said: If a person does not avoid false talk and false conduct
during Siyam, then Allah does not care if he abstains from food and drink (Bukhari, Muslim).
Abu Huraira related that Rasulullah said: If anyone forgets that he is fasting and eats or drinks he
should complete his Siyam, for it is Allah who has fed him and given him drink (Bukhari,
Muslim).
Zaid ibn Khalid Juhni related that the Prophet said: He who provides for the breaking of the
Siyam of another person earns the same merit as the one who was observing Siyam without
diminishing in any way the reward of the latter (Tirmidhi).
Lailat al-Qadr
Aisha related that the Prophet said: Look for Lailat al-Qadr on an odd-numbered night during
the last ten nights of Ramadan (Bukhari).
Anas ibn Malik related that Rasulullah said: When Lailat al-Qadr comes Gabriel descends with a
company of angels who ask for blessings on everyone who is remembering Allah, whether they
are sitting or standing (Baihaqi).
