(Allah s.w.t. have glorified the fasting month among other eleven months by choosing it as a month in which the Quran was sent down from the "Al-Lau-hu al-Mah-fuz"/the Preserved Tablet in the seventh heaven to the "Baitu al-'Iz-zah" in the lowest heaven (the heavern above the earth). He s.w.t. had also sent down/revealed all other Scriptures in the month of Ramadan. Imam Ahmad had narrated from Washilah ibnu Al-Asqoo that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Abraham's "Shuhuf"/ Journals were sent down/revealed to him/Abraham on the first evening of Ramadan, the Torah was revealed on the 6th of Ramadan, the Gospel was revealed on the 13th of Ramadan, and the Quran was revealed on the 24th of Ramadan.". (narrated by Imam Ahmad).
Abraham's a.s SHuhuf, the Scriptures of Torah, Psalm/"Zabur" and the Gospel were revealed to each of their respective Prophets simultaneously, but the Quran was sent down from the Lauh Mahfuz to the Baitul 'Izzah simultaneously on the "Lailatul-Qodar, as is mentioned in surah 97 Al-Qoddr, verse 1, and in surah 44 Ad-Duhkon verse 3. Then the verses and the short surah of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet s.a.w. in one part after another corresponding to the event that happened during the Prophet's time.
Allah told us that the Quran is a guidance for mankind's hearts which believe or have Faith and which acknowlege It and obey It.
The Quran is also the evidence and It shows and differentiates the right and the wrong, the "Halal"/lawful and the "Haram"/unlawful.
  Thus, who is present in his/her own country in that month, he/she must fast ... (to be continued).
Until we meet in again the next session, see you all Quran Lovers soon.
