Ramadan the Month of Fasting
The main feature which makes the month of Ramadan so special and valuable for Muslims is the fact that "the fast of Ramadan" is in this month. Fasting during the month of Ramadan is fardh for every Muslim and it is one of Islam's primary acts of worship. The month of Ramadan becomes more meaningful by fasting, people who don't fast will not get a taste of it nor benefit from its spirituality.
The one who maintains his other acts of worship and fasts as is required will purify himself. The Prophet of Allah has said on the topic:
Likewise, the Prophet Muhammad (saw) says, "Whoever observes fasts during the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven." Bukhari, Iman, 28.
