"Ramadan is the month
during which the Quran was revealed, providing
guidance for the people, clear teachings, and
the statute book. Those of you who witness
this month shall fast therein. Those who are
ill or traveling may substitute the same
number of other days. GOD wishes for you
convenience, not hardship, that you may
fulfill your obligations, and to glorify GOD
for guiding you, and to express your
appreciation."[2:185]
