Excellence of Ramadan Month and reward of fasting

9. Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام says at the end of a lengthy tradition, “In the month of Ramadan, the doors of heavens are opened, satans are shackled in chains and the deeds of believers are accepted. Ramadan is an excellent month. It was also called the al-Marzooq (a month in which bounties are given) during the time of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم.”
