Holy Prophet (s) : One who while
fasting does not guard his tongue from telling lies and does not
refrain from bad deeds, is not respecting his fast. Allah does not
approve of mere abstention from food.
Holy Prophet (s) : When you are fasting, you should not speak
ill of anybody, nor should you be rough and noisy. If anybody speaks
ill of you or tries to pick a quarrel with you, reply him not, but
say to him that you are fasting.
Holy
Prophet (s) : A person gets the same reward by reciting in
this month, one verse of the Holy Qur'an, as others do by reciting
the whole of the Qur'an in other months.

ordinary day. When you fast, all your senses - eyes, ears, tongue,
hands and feet must fast with you.
Imam
Muhammad al-Baqir (a): O Jabir! Whoever during the month of
Ramadhan, fasts in its days, stands up for prayers in parts of the
night, controls his desires and emotions, puts a rein on his tongue,
keeps his eyes down, and does not injure the feelings of others,
will become as free of sins as the day he was born.
Imam
Ali (a) : The sleep of a fasting person is worship, his silence is
glorification (of Allah), his prayers are answered and his actions
are multiplied.
Imam
Ali (a) : The prayer of a fasting person at the time of Iftar is
never rejected.
Holy
Prophet (s) : Whoever is prevented from food that he likes,
because of his fast, Allah will feed him from the food of Heaven and
from its drink.
Imam
Ja`far as-Sadiq (a): There are two pleasures for a fasting
person; one when he breaks his fast, and one when he meets his Lord.
Holy
Prophet (s) : Unfortunate is the person who is deprived of the
forgiveness of Allah during this great month (of Ramadhan) .
Imam
Ja`far as-Sadiq (a): Fasting is a protection from the fire.
Holy
Prophet (s): Fast, and you shall be healthy.
Holy
Prophet (s): If people understood what good there was in the month
of Ramadhan, they would have liked that it last for a year.
Holy
Prophet (s) : Whoever is not forgiven in the month of Ramadhan,
then in which month will he be forgiven?. |
