Ramadan is a blessed and great month, distinguished by Allah Almighty from all other months with its virtues and special characteristics. In this month, Allah revealed the Qur’an as guidance for people, mercy, and healing for the believers, as He said: “The month of Ramadan [is that] in which the Qur’an was revealed as guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.” [Al-Baqarah: 185]
