Ramadan
The Hot Month
The Sacred Month
Allah Almighty said,
‘Every deed of the son
of Adam is for him, except
for fasting. It is for Me and I
will reward it.’ Fasting is a shield,
so when one of you fasts, he may
not be obscene or boisterous. If
someone insults him or fights him,
let him say: Indeed, I am fasting.
By the One in whose hand is the
soul of Muhammad, the breath
coming from the mouth of a
fasting person is more pleasant
to Allah than the scent of musk.
The fasting person has two moments
of relief he enjoys: when he breaks his
fast he is joyful, and when he meets his
Lord he is joyful for his fasting.
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1904
Allah Almighty said,
‘He abandons his food, drink,
and desires for My sake.
Fasting is for Me and I will
reward it, a single good deed
up to ten times the like of it.
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1894
Every deed of the son of Adam
is multiplied, a single deed as
ten times the like of it up to
seven hundred times. Allah
Almighty said, ‘Except for fasting,
as it is for Me and I will reward it.
He leaves his desires and his food
for My sake.’

The Quran
Surah Al-Baqarah
The Cow
185. It was in the month of Ramadan that the Quran was revealed as guidance for mankind, clear messages giving guidance and distinguishing between right and wrong. So any one of you who is present that month should fast, and anyone who is ill or on a journey should make up for the lost days by fasting on other days later. God wants ease for you, not hardship. He wants you to complete the prescribed period and to glorify Him for having guided you, so that you may be thankful.
186. [Prophet], if My servants ask you about Me, I am near. I respond to those who call Me, so let them respond to Me, and believe in Me, so that they may be guided.
187. You [believers] are permitted to lie with your wives during the night of the fast: they are [close] as garments to you, as you are to them. God was aware that you were betraying yourselves, so He turned to you in mercy and pardoned you: now you can lie with them- seek what God has ordained for you- eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct from the black. Then fast until nightfall. Do not lie with them during the nights of your devotional retreat in the mosques: these are the bounds set by God, so do not go near them. In this way God makes His messages clear to people, that they may guard themselves against doing wrong.

The Quran
Surah Al-Isra
The Night Journey
Verse 62
The Jinn Iblis said to Allah,
“Do You see? This one, whom you have
honoured above me, if You give me respite
until the Day of Judgment, I shall surely bring
his descendants under my control,
all of them, except for a few!”
The Quran
Surah Al-Isra
The Night Journey
Verse 64
Seduce whomsoever of
them you can with your voice.
Steer them shouting with your
cavalry and your infantry
(towards hell).
Be partners with them
in their wealth and children.
And make (false) promises to them.
Satan makes promises for them
only to deceive (to be arrogant).
Everyone of you has been assigned
a companion from the Jinn.
Saheeh Muslim
Verily, Satan flows through
the human being
like the flowing of blood.
Source: Sahih Muslim 2174
Verily, anger comes from Satan
and Satan was created from fire.
Fire is extinguished with water,
so if you become angry then
perform ablution with water.
Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4784
Satan said:
By Your might, O Lord,
I will continue to mislead
the children of Adam, as long
as their souls are in their bodies.
The Lord said: By My might and
majesty, I will continue to forgive them,
as long as they seek My forgiveness.
Source: Musnad Aḥmad 11367
The Quran
Surah Al-A'raf
The Heights
16. [Satan] said,
“Because You have put me in error,
I will surely sit in wait for them
on Your straight path.
17. Then I will
come to them
from in-front them
and from behind them
and on their right
and on their left,
and You will not find most
of them grateful [to You].”
18. [Allah] said,
“Get out of Paradise,
rejected and expelled.
Whoever follows you
among them –
I will surely fill Hell
with you, all together.”
The Quran
Surah Al-A’raf
The Heights
Verse 27
O children
of Adam,
Do not let Satan
put you in trouble the
way he had your parents
expelled from Paradise,
having their dress removed
from them, so that he could
show them their shame. Indeed, he
sees you - he and his company - from
where you do not see them. Surely,
We have made the devils friends to
those who do not believe.
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
"The son of Adam does not fill any
vessel worse than his stomach. It is
enough for the son of Adam to eat a
few mouthfuls to straighten his back,
but if he must (fill his stomach), then
one third for his food, one third for
his drink, and one third for his breath."
