Surah Al-Baqra, Verse 183-187
183. O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those
before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint,-
184. (Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any of you is ill, or on a
journey, the prescribed number (Should be made up) from days later. For those
who can do it (With hardship), is a ransom, the feeding of one that is indigent.
But he that will give more, of his own free will,- it is better for him. And
it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew.
185. Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to
mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong).
So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend
it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period
(Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does
not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period,
and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful.
186. When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen
to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will,
Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way.
187. Permitted to you, on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives.
They are your garments and ye are their garments. Allah knoweth what ye used to
do secretly among yourselves; but He turned to you and forgave you; so now
associate with them, and seek what Allah Hath ordained for you, and eat and drink,
until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread; then
complete your fast Till the night appears; but do not associate with your wives
while ye are in retreat in the mosques. Those are Limits (set by) Allah. Approach
not nigh thereto. Thus doth Allah make clear His Signs to men: that they may learn
self-restraint.
