Wishing you all a happy, peaceful and rewarding Ramadan
A couple of hadith about Ramadan
Abu Huraira (God be pleased with him) relates that the
Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said,
God the Almighty said, ‘Every deed by a person is his, except fasting; fasting is Mine, and I reward for it.’ Fasting is a shield; so if one of you is fasting on a certain day, he should keep away from bad language and from noisy exchanges. If someone abuses him or quarrels with him, let him just say, ‘I am on fast.’ By Him Who has Muhammad’s soul in His Hand, the breath of a person on fast is sweeter than the smell of musk. The person on fast has two occasions to be joyful about: when he breaks his fast, he will feel the pleasure of it; and when he meets his Lord, he will be pleased with his fast.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

Abu Huraira (God be pleased with him) also relates that the
Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said,
“If someone does not keep away from saying falsehoods
and acting falsehoods, God does not need him to abstain from eating and
drinking.” (Bukhari)
