In the Quran it says:
"O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint...Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Quran, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting..." (2:183-185)
Ramadan offers Muslims a chance to better themselves spiritually and is a time for inner reflection and renewed devotion to God. It is a time for self-purification and renewed commitment to Islam. Fasting is done only for God's sake and Muslims will be rewarded for obeying God's will. In fact, before Ramadan, many Muslims pray that they will just live to see another Ramadan, a month filled with many blessings.
