Ramadan Series 🌙 | Ramadan Is the Month of Piety

He سبحانه وتعالى legislated for His servants to fast the blessed month of Ramadan to actualize their fear of Him. 

He, the Most High, said:

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ 

 O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqûn 

[Al-Baqarah 2:183]

Fasting is a course to piety due to what in entails of suppression of the soul and the subjugation of the lusts. The fast in this noble month was not legislated except for the actualization of piety. Rather, it is one of the things that assists most to achieve it.

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said :

"It (fasting) is from the greatest aids in attaining piety."
