Chapter on the Virtue of Month of Ramadan and the Reward of Fasting in it
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: « «إِنَّ عِدَّةَ اَلشُّهُورِ عِنْدَ اَللّٰهِ اِثْنٰا عَشَرَ شَهْراً فِي كِتٰابِ اَللّٰهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضَ» فَغُرَّةُ اَلشُّهُورِ شَهْرُ اَللَّهِ وَ هُوَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ وَ قَلْبُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةُ اَلْقَدْرِ وَ نَزَلَ اَلْقُرْآنُ فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَاسْتَقْبِلِ اَلشَّهْرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ ». قال مصنف هذا الكتاب - رحمه الله -: تكامل نزول القرآن ليلة القدر.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Indeed, the number of months with Allah سبحانه وتعالى is twelve months in the Book of Allah سبحانه وتعالى from the day He created the heavens and the earth. The first and foremost of these months is the month of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, which is the Month of Ramadan, and the heart of the Month of Ramadan is the Night of Qadr. The Quran was revealed on the first night of the Month of Ramadan. Therefore, greet the month with the Quran."
