Ramadaan kareeem
Rasoolul laah [Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam] has stated, "Eat Sahari because there is blessings in Sahari. The difference between our fast and the fast of the people of the book
(Christians and Jews), is the food we eat at Sahari."
(Bukhaari and Muslim)
WHO ARE THE RECIPIENTS OF ZAKAAT?
Zakaat is spent on eight groups of people, as mentioned in the Qur’aan:
إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَاتُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْعَامِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِي الرِّقَابِ وَالْغَارِمِينَ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ ۖ فَرِيضَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
“As-Sadaqaat (here it means Zakaat) is only for the Fuqaraa ‘(poor), and Al Masaakeen (the needy who do not beg) and those employed to collect (the funds); and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islaam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allaah’s cause and for those fighting in a battle for the cause of Islaam, and for the wayfarer (a traveler who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allaah. And Allaah is All-Knower, All-Wise.” Quraan Al Kareem

Ramadaan and Ahadees
Saying of our Beloved Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam]
If people had known the reality of Ramadaan, my (Prophet's) Ummat would wish that the whole year may be Ramadaan.
Fiqh of fasting : The Intention of fast
INTENTION OF FAST
Q.1: What is meant by intention of fast?
A. "Neeyat" means to have firm intention of offering prayer in the heart. Expression of words by the tongue is not essential but desirable to harmonize the intention of the tongue with the heart. So is the case with the intention (Neeyat) of fasts.
Q.2: What is the wording of Neeyat?
A. If one makes "Neeyat" (intention) of fast during the night he should say:
I intended for the sake of Allaah that I will observe obligatory fast of this Ramadaan tomorrow
Adding "Inshaa Allaah Ta'aalaa" to the wording of Neeyat is desirable act provided that it is done with the intention of seeking Almighty Allaah's help and grace. Neeyat must be firm. If wavering, fast will not be deemed to have been observed.
Q.3: What time should Neeyat be made?
A. The time for Neeyat of obligatory fasts of Ramadaan, "Nazar Mo'aie-yan" and "Nafil" fasts begins at the sunset and lasts till the sun reaches meridian Shar'ee i.e. one should form Neeyat (intention) of fast at least 39 minutes and at most 48 minutes before "Zawaal" (decline of the sun). The intention of these three kinds of fasts can also be made in the day but it is commendable to do so during the night.
