Select Hadtih and Ayaat on Ramadaan and some virtues

The month of Ramadân in which was revealed the Qur'ân, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadân i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allâh intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allâh [i.e. to say Takbîr (Allâhu-Akbar; Allâh is the Most Great) for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him. [The Noble Quran, Al Baqarah (2):185]

'If one does not abandon falsehood in words and deeds, Allah has no need for his abandoning of his food and drink.' – Muhammed(pbuh) [Sahih Bukhari]

"Whoever establishes prayers during the nights of Ramadan faithfully out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards (not for showing off), all his past sins will be forgiven." – Muhammad (pbuh) [Sahih Bukhari]

The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Whoever possesses the following three qualities will taste the sweetness of faith:
1. The one to whom Allah and His Apostle become dearer than anything else.
2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah's sake.
3. Who hates to revert to disbelief (Atheism) after Allah has brought (saved) him out from it, as he hates to be thrown in fire." - [Sahih Bukhari]

Verily! We have sent it (this Quran) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) (1) And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is?(2) The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allah in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, (i.e. 83 years and 4 months). (3) Therein descend the angels and the Ruh [Jibrael (Gabriel)] by Allah's Permission with all Decrees,(4) Peace! (All that night, there is Peace and Goodness from Allah to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn. (5) [The Noble Quran, Al-Qadr (97):1-5 ]

"If you put your whole trust in Allah, as you ought, He most certainly will satisfy your needs, as He satisfies those of the birds. They come out hungry in the morning, but return full to their nests." – Muhammad (pbuh) [Sunan Tirmidhi]

The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the Way of Allâh, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allâh gives manifold increase to whom He pleases. And Allâh is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower. [ The Noble Quran, Al Baqarah (2):261]

Avoid hellfire, even by a part of a date (that you give away in charity) –Muhammad (pbuh) [Sahih Bukhari & Muslim]
