O you who believe! Observing As - Saum  (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al - Muttaqun (the pious)

[Observing saum (fasts)] for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskin (poor person) (for every day). But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast it is better for you if only you know.

The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of ) the month (of Ramadan, i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) the month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up ] from other days. Allah intends for your ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say Takbir (Allahu Akbar; Allah is the most Great)] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.
