Al-Baqarah
شَهۡرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ هُدٗى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَٰتٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَٱلۡفُرۡقَانِۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّهۡرَ فَلۡيَصُمۡهُۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٖ فَعِدَّةٞ مِّنۡ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَۗ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُمُ ٱلۡيُسۡرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ ٱلۡعُسۡرَ وَلِتُكۡمِلُواْ ٱلۡعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمۡ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ
185The month of Ramadhan is in which the Quran was revealed . The Quran has guidance for man-kind and clear proofs regarding the guidance. And it (The Quran) is an absolute criterion (between the right and wrong). So whoever witnesses the month of Ramadhan, he must fast and whoever is ill or is on a journey, he must make up the missed days of fasting later on. Allah intends ease for you and does not like to cause you hardship. Allah desires that you complete the days of fasting (in Ramadhan or by making up, so that your reward is not decreased) and that you must glorify Allah for guiding you and be thankful (to Allah for making it easy for you).
