The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say Takbir (Allahu-Akbar; Allah is the Most Great) on seeing the crescent of the months of Ramadan and Shawwal] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.
Mwezi wa Ramadhani ambao imeteremshwa humo Qur'ani kuwa ni uwongofu kwa watu, na hoja zilizo wazi za uwongofu na upambanuzi. Basi ataye kuwa mjini katika mwezi huu naafunge. Na mwenye kuwa mgonjwa au safarini, basi atimize hisabu katika siku nyengine. Mwenyezi Mungu anakutakieni yaliyo mepesi wala hakutakieni yaliyo mazito, na mtimize hiyo hisabu, na mumtukuze Mwenyezi Mungu kwa kuwa amekuongoeni ili mpate kushukuru.
