Its first effect is that an individual tries to avoid Moharramat and even before Ramadan prepares him/herself and investigates the previous function.
The month of Ramadan is that in which was revealed the Quran; a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the criterion (of right and wrong).
Thus, according to the Quran, Prophet Mohammad first received revelations in the lunar month of Ramadan. Therefore, the month of Ramadan is considered to be the most sacred month of the Islamic calendar, the recording of which began with the Hijra.

The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic root ramida or ar-ramad, which means scorching heat or dryness.

Imam Baqer peace be upon him cited “ do not say Ramadan, Ramadan comes or goes because Ramadan is Allah’s name that cannot come and go instead say Ramadan month so add the name. Ramadan month is a great month and holy Quran has been revealed in it so it is holy month and sample as Allah sent Jesus for Baniesraeil” .
Imam Ali peace be upon him said in fact you do not know what is Ramadan”.
