The Holy Name of Allah-azwj, Month of Ramazan
شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدَىٰ وَالْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ ۖ وَمَنْ كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۗ يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ {185}
The Month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran was Revealed, a Guidance for the people, and clear evidence from the Guidance and the Furqan; therefore whoever of you is present in the Month, so let him Fast during it, and the one who was sick or upon a journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of other days; Allah Wants ease with you, and He does not Want the difficulty with you, in order for you to complete the number, for you to exclaim the Greatness of Allah upon what He has Guided you, and perhaps you would be thanking [2:185]
محمد بن يعقوب: عن علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن عبد الله بن المغيرة، عن عمرو الشامي، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام)، قال: «إن الشهور عند الله اثنا عشر شهرا في كتاب الله يوم خلق السماوات و الأرض فغرة الشهور شهر الله عز ذكره و هو شهر رمضان، و قلب شهر رمضان ليلة القدر، و نزل القرآن في أول ليلة من شهر رمضان، فاستقبل الشهر بالقرآن
