    (Fasting) for a fixed Number of days; But if any of you is ill, Or on a journey, The prescribed number (Should be made up) From days later. For those who can do it (With hardship), is a ransom, The feeding of one That is indigent. But he that will give More, of his own free will,— It is better for him. And it is better for you That ye fast, If ye only knew.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:184

    Ramadhān is the (month) In which was sent down The Qur-ān, 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, But if any one is ill, Or on a journey, The prescribed period (Should be made up) By days later. God intends every facility For you; He does not want To put you to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete The prescribed period, And to glorify Him In that He has guided you; And perchance ye shall be grateful.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:185

    The number of months In the sight of God Is twelve (in a year) So ordained by Him The day He created The heavens and the earth; Of them four are sacred: That is the straight usage. So wrong not yourselves Therein, and fight the Pagans All together as they Fight you all together. But know that God Is with those who restrain Themselves.

    Surah At-Tawbah, verse 9:36

    Verily the transposing (Of a prohibited month) Is an addition to Unbelief: The Unbelievers are led To wrong thereby: for they make It lawful one year, And forbidden another year, In order to adjust the number Of months forbidden by God And make such forbidden ones Lawful. The evil of their course Seems pleasing to them. But God guideth not Those who reject Faith.

    Surah At-Tawbah, verse 9:37

    (Some) say they were three, The dog being the fourth Among them; (others) say They were five, the dog Being the sixth,—doubtfully Guessing at the unknown; (Yet others) say they were Seven, the dog being the eighth. Say thou: "My Lord Knoweth best their number; It is but few that know Their (real case)." Enter not, Therefore, into controversies Concerning them, except On a matter that is clear, Nor consult any of them About (the affair of) the Sleepers.

    Surah Al-Kahf, verse 18:22

    O Prophet! When ye Do divorce women, Divorce them at their Prescribed periods, And count (accurately) Their prescribed periods: And fear God your Lord: And turn them not out Of their houses, nor shall They (themselves) leave, Except in case they are Guilty of some open lewdness, Those are limits Set by God: and any Who transgresses the limits Of God, does verily Wrong his (own) soul: Thou knowest not if Perchance God will Bring about thereafter Some new situation.

    Surah At-Talaq, verse 65:1

    And We have set none But angels as guardians Of the Fire; and We Have fixed their number Only as a trial For Unbelievers,—in order That the People of the Book May arrive at certainty, And the Believers may increase In Faith,—and that no doubts May be left for the People Of the Book and the Believers, And that those in whose hearts Is a disease and the Unbelievers May say, "What symbol Doth God intend by this? Thus doth God leave to stray Whom He pleaseth, and guide Whom He pleaseth: and none Can know the forces Of thy Lord, except He. And this is no other than A warning to mankind.
