er t r a t s Ramadan pack Ramadan is the month in which was sent down the Quran, as the guide to mankind, (bearing) clear signs and the criterion (to distinguish right from wrong). So whoever witnesses this month, should fast but if anyone is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period should be made up for later. Allah intends for your ease, not hardship and wants you to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you and perchance you shall be grateful.
Sawm what it really means
GETTING READY FOR THE MONTH OF PIETY (TAQWA)
O you who believe! Fasting has been made obligatory upon you just as it was made obligatory upon those who were before you, so that you may have Taqwa
The Importance
The month of first revelation of the Quran. Also the month when the Quran was sent from the 7th to the 1st heaven.
Protection from
hubb-ul-dunia
Literally
To abstain from certain actions for a specific goal.
Etymologically
A few days before battle, horses were abstained from their regular diet to prepare them for the battle. These horses were called Sa’im (One who observes Sawm)
Pillars of An Niyyah (The Intention)
Resolve to carry out Allah’s command. Must be made the night before (before fajr)
Al Imsak (The Refraining)
Refraining from what breaks the fast.
Az Zaman (The Time) From Fajr(first crack of the dawn) till sunset (maghrib)
The Purpose
To gain taqwa: an emotion which develops in a person (abd) due to one to one relationship with Allah (the ilaah) that makes him not to transgress His limilts. It is the strongest driving force and can overcome every corporal instinct.
Path to
Islamically
To abstain from eating, drinking and sexual intercourse, with the intention of worshiping (Allah) from the first crack of dawn (Fajr) until the setting of the sun (Maghrib)
Just like Allah made sawm obligatory: “kutiba alaikum ul siyam” (decreed upon you is fasting) he also made these obligatory: “kutiba alaikum ul qital” [2:216] (decreed upon you is fighting) ”kutiba alaikum ul qisas” [2:178] (decreed upon you is legal retribution)

Sawm protects your heart from the love of dunia while purifying it using the Quran, hence making you ready for the challenges that will come on the path of Islam. It strengthens the belief that right and wrong is defined solely by Allah and we need to obey him even if our desires and intellect tell otherwise.
Nullifiers of sawm
• Eating, drinking or having sexual intercourse (also if one is forced to do so) • Fluid reaching inside of the body by any means (nose, eye, ear, injection, exaggerated rinsing, inhaling and exhaling water) • Deliberate excretion of semen due to staring (at something or someone that incites the lusts) or prolonged thinking (about sexual desires) or kissing or touching. • Intentional vomiting.
After sawm was made obligatory, the most remarkable event happened at Badr when the forces of Truth clashed with Falsehood for the first time and emerged victorious

Rayyan There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Rayyan reserved for the people who observed fasting on the Day of Resurrection. None will enter it other than them. After they have entered, it will be closed and no one will enter it (after them)” [Bukhari and Muslim]
Disliked (makrooh) actions
• Exaggerating in gargling and inhaling water into the nostrils during ablution. • Kissing, lustfully staring at the spouse, thinking about having sex, lustful touching or rubbing the body against. • Rinsing the mouth other than Wudhu’ or without a need to do so. • Applying kohl (to the eyes) at the beginning of the day, but there is no problem with doing so at the end of the day. • Hijamah (cupping) or blood letting (by opening a vein). • Using foul language.
Quran 3:123
And already had Allah given you victory at [the battle of] Badr while you were few in number. Then fear Allah ; perhaps you will be grateful. [Also Read Surah Ale-Imran: 13, 121-127, 173, 174; Surah Al-Anfal: 7-12, 17,1-19, 42-44, 67, 71] “How many a small company has overcome a large company by permission of Allah . And Allah is with the patient.” [2:249]
