Ramadan is the 9th month in the Islamic calendar and is considered the most meritorious months for which we find particular instructions in the Qur’an and and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh).  It is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed for the first time, the month of fasting, giving, praying and increasing in good deeds of worship, sacrifice, patience and charity. It is the month of Guidance, mercy and blessings.  The Qur’an says:
[O you who believe! fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you that you may (learn) self-restraint.―  (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. Ramadan 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 everyone of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spent it in fasting, but if anyone 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 you 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.  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. ],(2:183-6)

And the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ  said:
“Whoever fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. Whoever prays during the nights in Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. And he who passes Lailat Al-Qadr in prayer with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven.” (Bukhari & Muslim)
