Whoever fasts Ramadan, out of faith and in pursuit of reward, his past sins will be forgiven Allah, Glorified and Exalted, said: All the actions of the son of Adam are for him, except for fasting. Indeed, it is for Me, and I give reward for it O young men, those of you who can afford to should marry; it restrains the gaze and fortifies one's chastity. Those who cannot should fast; it controls the sexual desire When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Rayyān through which only those who fast will enter on the Day of Resurrection. No one else will enter through it. It will be called out: Where are those who used to fast? So they will stand up and proceed towards it. When the last of them has entered, the gate will be closed, and no one else will enter through it Whoever fasts one day in the cause of Allah, Allah shall put between him and Hellfire a trench as wide as the distance between the heavens and the earth
