verse 183 of Surat Al-Baqarah

 “O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.” 

verse 184 of Surat Al-Baqarah

 

 “[Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them]. then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship]. a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day].

 And whoever volunteers excess . it is better for him.

 But to .fast is best for you, if you only knew.” 

verse 185 of Surat Al-Baqarah

 “The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. 

So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey. then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease 

And does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you, and perhaps you will be grateful.” 

verse 186 of Surat Al-Baqarah

 “And when My servants ask you concerning Me. indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. 

So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.” 

verse 187 of Surat Al-Baqara

 “It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives. 

They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them. Allah knows that you used to deceive yourselves, 

So He accepted your repentance and forgave you. 

So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allah has decreed for you. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the sunset. 

And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosques. These are the limits [set] by Allah, so do not approach them. Thus does Allah make clear His ordinances to the people that they may become righteous.” 

verse 188 of Surat Al-Baqara

“And do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly or send it [in bribery] to the rulers in order that [they might aid] you [to] consume a portion of the wealth of the people in sin, while you know [it is unlawful

Interpretation of verses 183 to 188 of Surat Al-Baqarah

The verses talk about fasting, as God Almighty imposed fasting because the word (was written) means that God Almighty imposed this matter, 

And in the verse there is a call from God to the believers, and it is a call to the lovers, as if he is saying:

 (O you who believe in Me and love Me, fasting is prescribed for you), and the believers take the address of the truth to them according to the extent of their love for everything that comes from Him, Glory be to Him, in terms of their assignment,

 So fasting means abstaining, while the legal fasting means fasting from the desires of the stomach and the genitals from sunrise to sunset, 

So fasting is a means of educating a person about religions, even if the number of days differs, and even if the method of fasting differs. 

And whoever obeys God Almighty in what God Almighty has imposed and in everything, 

He has made a veil between him and the wrath and punishment of God, and God Almighty explains to us that fasting is on specific, known, limited days.

 

The month of Ramadan is the month of fasting that Allah has imposed on people. 

The Quran was first revealed in it from the Preserved 

Tablet to the lowest heaven on the Night of Decree once, then verses were revealed to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, according to the situation that the Prophet, may Allah bless him

 And grant him peace, went through, to teach people and acquaint them with the verses and evidence that would make them know Allah Almighty and guide them to the path of Allah, 

His pleasure and His Paradise by carrying out all of Allah’s commands in truth and avoiding what Allah has forbidden of evil in the Holy Quran, which differentiates between truth and falsehood. Whoever follows it lives in the light of faith, 

As Allah Almighty commands believers to fast when they see the crescent moon of Ramadan, because the Hijri months are calculated from the rising of the crescent moon to its rising, so whoever sees the crescent moon of Ramadan fasts.  

Of course, in every country, the authorities responsible for sighting the crescent moon see the crescent moon and all believers fast. 

As for those who are sick or traveling, they do not fast while they are sick and do not fast the day they travel, i.e. during their travel.

 If Allah heals them, they complete Ramadan and then count the days they broke their fast and fast them after Ramadan, because Allah wants ease for the believers and does not want hardship for the believer. 

We thank Allah and praise Him for His favor upon us by fasting Ramadan. 

After that comes Eid al-Fitr, in which believers celebrate their victory by fasting Ramadan, which begins with glorifying Allah, praising Him, and thanking Him. 

Allah Almighty says to our master Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, if they ask about Allah, tell them that Allah is close to the believer who calls upon Allah. 

Allah answers those who call upon Him, so let them respond to Allah and believe in Allah Almighty, and if they call upon Him, Allah will guide them to

 solve their problems, 

And Allah will guide them to goodness and answer their prayers.  

After the Truth mentioned to us the etiquette of supplication and mixing it and including it in fasting, 

He explained to us the etiquette of dealing between spouses during fasting, and taught us that fasting is abstaining during the day from the desires of the stomach and the desires of the private parts, just as God Almighty permitted what was forbidden during fasting to make things easier for the believers, 

So God permitted intercourse between women on the night of fasting as a relief and mercy from God, because they are a cover for each other, and because God knew that they betray themselves, before their repentance 

And forgave them and specified a time to abstain from food and private parts until the white thread is distinguished from the black thread of dawn, and they completed the fast until sunset, which is the first rising of the night, should not approach,

Intercourse does not take place in mosques  the mosques, and these are the limits of God, a command from God that the believer.should not approach, and these verses are clear to whoever understands

 

Interpretation of verse 188 of Surat Al-Baqarah

The verse talks about eating unlawful money and addresses everyone because money in general is a common denominator between people and each other. 

We find in this verse and the verses that preceded it, as well as the verses that will come, that God has set controls in all societal issues, 

As previously mentioned, from the controls of prohibiting some things during the day in Ramadan, then the matter progresses to God permitting some of what was previously prohibited gradually and controls in what He has permitted and prohibited for us,

 As well as the verses that preceded it about knowing what is permissible and good of food 

So that we eat it and what is forbidden so that we avoid it and what preceded it about knowing righteousness. 

This verse completes the controls of society’s dealings with money, as in it God Almighty forbade eating unlawful money and using the word (eating) with money because money and eating help the body to move and continue life as well as growth.  

Food develops the body, while money develops the person by benefiting from it and revives life in general, and unlawful money leads to all of this,

 But it develops in the person greed and avarice and more behavior that does not please God in order to obtain money, in any unlawful way, and what is forbidden to us is that a person steals, or seizes money, or kidnaps it, 

Or takes a bribe, or gives a bribe, or betrays the trust that he was entrusted with, and also he should not bribe the rulers to rule in his favor unjustly in order to obtain money or a position or to waste the right of another person and seize it unjustly at the expense of others, and also “whoever works in a job that God does not please, he eats money” unjustly, 

And puts unlawful money in his stomach and the stomachs of those he supports,

 And they give an excuse that life is difficult and depends on this work and it is difficult to do without it, all of this corrupts society and divides it, as God wants the movement of our life to be a clean, honorable and honorable movement, so that nothing enters your stomach except what  Sweat for it, and every person gets his right.

It should be noted that as long as the command and prohibition are from Allah Almighty, and Allah has prohibited eating unlawful money; 

The believer who is supported by unlawful money must stand against the one who supports him and not take from his money, and the believer must beware of everyone who eats unlawful money

such as theft, fraud, breach of trust and other things that anger Allah

He must warn them that the consequence is the torment of Hell and they must not follow these people or listen to their justifications, no matter what the justifications are because they do this sin and they know that it is unlawful
