Ramadan Mubarak to Everyone May Allah bless our Ramadan and may it be filled with strengthened faith and many good deeds.
THE QURAN ON FASTING
"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).

THE HADITH ON FASTING
Abu Huraira related that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. Whoever prays during the nights in Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. And he who passes Lailat al-Qadr in prayer with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven (Bukhari, Muslim).
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).

It is He Who has sent down to you (Muhammad SAW) the Book.
In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book
[and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkâm (commandments, etc.), Al-Farâ'id (obligatory duties)
and Al-Hudud (legal laws)]; and others not entirely clear.
So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth)
they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof,
seeking Al-Fitnah, and seeking for its hidden meanings,
but none knows its hidden meanings save Allâh.
And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say:
"We believe in it; the whole of it is from our Lord."
And none receive admonition except men of understanding.
(Tafsir At-Tabarî).
