Fasting by Imam al-Haddâd -
(A translation of a section of his Nasâih al-Dîniyâh)

The Status of Ramadân:-

Imam al-Haddâd, may Allah shower him with mercy, said:
 

Know! O gathering of brothers, may Allah ease us and you towards ease and distance us from difficulty and forgive us in the next world and the first one, that Ramadân is a month of mighty status and rank with Allah and His Messenger, upon him be peace. It is the master of all months. Allah made fasting compulsory for the Muslims and prescribed it for them. The Exalted said:
 

O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you,
that you may (learn) self-restraint,-(al-Baqara 2:183)

In it, Allah descended His Book and made the Night of Power, which is better than a thousand months, among its nights. A thousand months is more than eighty years. Count and contemplate what this Night of Power is – a night that Allah has made greater than this long period. And Allah, The Exalted has said:

Ramadân is the (month) in which was sent down the Qurân, as a guide to mankind,
also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). (al-Baqara 2:185).
