In Surat AL-BAQARA (THE COW) 002.185,
Allah (swt) says, after: "In the name of Allah, the
Compassionate, the Merciful":
"The month of Ramadhan is that in which the Quran was
revealed, a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and
the distinction; therefore whoever of you is present in the
month, he shall fast therein, and whoever is sick or upon a
journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of other days;
Allah desires ease for you, and He does not desire for you
difficulty, and (He desires) that you should complete the number
and that you should exalt the greatness of Allah for His having
guided you and that you may give thanks."

Our beloved prophet Muhamed (saas)
said:
"Whoever fasts Ramadhan out of
faith and with the hope of reward,
all his previous sins will be forgiven."
(Reported by al-Bukhaari, Fath, no.
37).

Ubadah ibn al Samit (ra) narrated that the Prophet (saw) said:
"Ramadhan has come to you. It is the month of blessings in which Allah
envelops you (with His kindness). He makes His mercy descend upon you. He
forgives your sins and accepts your prayers. Allah witnesses you when you
race one another (in virtuous deeds) in this month and becomes proud of you
before His angels. Therefore, show Allah the best deeds from your side,
because unfortunate is that person who deprives himself from Allah's mercy
in this month."
Ramadhan - the month in which Allah has invested great merits, in which the
Quran al-Kareem was revealed in order that man may rule by it, in which
heroic battles were fought, lands were liberated, the forces of kufr crushed
and the call of Islam spread throughout the world.
