بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

2.185

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِیْۤ اُنْزِلَ فِیْهِ الْقُرْاٰنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَ بَیِّنٰتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدٰى وَ الْفُرْقَانِۚ-فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْیَصُمْهُؕ-وَ مَنْ كَانَ مَرِیْضًا اَوْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ اَیَّامٍ اُخَرَؕ-یُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ بِكُمُ الْیُسْرَ وَ لَا یُرِیْدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ٘-وَ لِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللّٰهَ عَلٰى مَا هَدٰىكُمْ وَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ(185)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

The month of Ramadan is[1] that in which the Qurʾan was sent down; guidance for people and clear directions and the Criterion; so whosoever from amongst you attains this month should most definitely fulfil its fasts. And whosoever is ill or travelling, so he should make up the same number of fasts on other days. Allah only intends ease for you and He does not intend difficulty for you, so that you complete the prescribed number ˹of fasts˺ and that you glorify Allah as He granted you guidance, and so that you may be grateful.[2]

Commentary

[1]

Ramadan is the only month mentioned in the Qurʾan by name, and it attained greatness because of its link to the Qurʾan. This highlights the fact that any time or occasion which is linked to something revered becomes esteemed until the Day of Judgement; hence the days and moments linked to the blessed Prophetic Birth and Ascension became honoured.

[2]

Completing the prescribed number refers to the twenty-nine or thirty days of fasting, and glorifying is due to Allah imparting the ways of religion to creation for which gratitude should be expressed.
