شَہۡرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ هُدً۬ى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَـٰتٍ۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَٱلۡفُرۡقَانِ‌ۚ فَمَن شَہِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّہۡرَ فَلۡيَصُمۡهُ‌ۖ وَمَن ڪَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ۬ فَعِدَّةٌ۬ مِّنۡ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ‌ۗ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ بِڪُمُ ٱلۡيُسۡرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِڪُمُ ٱلۡعُسۡرَ وَلِتُڪۡمِلُواْ ٱلۡعِدَّةَ وَلِتُڪَبِّرُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَٮٰكُمۡ وَلَعَلَّڪُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ١٨٥

Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. ALLAH wishes for you convenience, and does not wish for you hardship, that you may fulfil your obligations, and to glorify ALLAH for guiding you, and to express your appreciation.

    The ending of verse 2:185 explains the reasons for this decree from God, as I have just expressed in an earlier paragraph. The words chosen by God, like: “fulfill your obligations (meaning your covenants)”, “glorify God for guiding you”, and “to express your appreciation”, are typically used relative to the guidance through the messengers. If you look at the linkages to these words and the language used, through other verses in the Quran, you will agree with me. But I will make it easy for you to understand, before…

    followed by a celebration of Eid and an extra salat performed on Eid. In 2:184-185, God tells us that if you are ill or traveling, you may substitute the same number of other days. It means that some people can and will be fasting other than the month of Ramadan. The big question for such disbelieving people is: How can the people have Eid when some of them fasted in other months? God’s marvelous laws and logic always exposes the distorted logic of the disbelievers. Moreover, you hardly ever see anyone taking…

CAN THE WORSHIP OF GOD BE ACHIEVED AND BE COMPLETE WITHOUT FULLY KNOWING AND ACKNOWLEDGING THE SIGNS THAT HE HAS CREATED IN ORDER TO WORSHIP HIM? Page 9
The Seyaam (fasting) should be done, as per 2:185 by witnessing the month of Ramadan. Witnessing has only a specific meaning, which is to see something with your eyes. Therefore, you have to witness the progression of each calendar month in order to witness the month of Ramadan. As stated earlier, the change and progression of months are all based on God’s natural signs mentioned earlier in the sermon. The Hajj should be done in the specified months – during the four sacred months as the months are created by God…
