I am not an expert on the holy Quran.
However, words from Sura 2- The Cow (the oldest of the Medina Chapters said to have been revealed in April 622) may illuminate today’s topic about Ramadan.
“Oh believers! A fast is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may fear God.”

Fear of God is one of the most revered words in all religions. And this fright was better elaborated by Sheikh Mohammed Nassor (of East London mosque) when closing a Futari dinner at the Tanzanian High Commission last Saturday.
Insisting on unity and love the esteemed Sheikh explained: “You should not fear God but rather stay closer to Him.”
