How the times are calculated

- When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained
- Whoever fasts Ramadan, out of faith and in pursuit of reward, his past sins will be forgiven
- Allah said: All the deeds of the son of Adam are for himself except for fasting, as it is, indeed, for Me, and I give reward for it
