Why the name Ramadhan?
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم :
{إنَّما سُمِّي رَمَضَانُ لأنَّهُ يُرَمْضُ الذُّنوبُ}
The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) said:
Surely, the month of Ramadhan has been named so because it scorches away the sins.

Hadith No. 2
The Reverence of the Month of Ramadhan.
قال علي عليه السلام :
{لا تَقُولُوا رَمَضَانَ ولَكِنْ قُولُوا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فإنَّكُمْ لا تَدْرُونَ مَا رَمَضَانُ}
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said:
Do not say Ramadhan rather say month of Ramadhan, for surely you know not what (really) Ramadhan is.

Hadith No. 3
The Name of God
قال الصادق عليه السلام :
{لا تَقُولُوا هَذَا رَمَضَانُ ولا ذَهَبَ رَمَضَانُ ولا جَاءَ رَمَضَانُ فَإنَّ رمَضَانَ إسْمٌ مِنْ أسْمَاءِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لا يَحِيءُ ولا يَذْهَبُ و إنَّمَا يَحِيءُ وَ يَذْهَبُ الزَّائِلُ ولَكِنْ قُولُوا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ}
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said:
Say not, "This is Ramadhan" and "Ramadhan has departed" and "Ramadhan has arrived" for surely, Ramadhan is one of the names of Allah, The Mighty the Glorious, who neither arrives nor departs.
Surely, arrives and departs that, which is ephemeral. Instead say: "The month of Ramadhan".

Hadith No. 4
The month of Revelation of the Qur’an
قال الرضا عليه السلام :
{فَإنْ قَالَ فَلِمَ جُعِلَ الصَّوْمُ فِي شَهْر رَمَضَانَ خَاصَّةً دوُن سَائِرَ الشُّهُورِ قِيْل لأنَّ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانُ هُو الشَّهْرُ الَّذِي أُنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعالى فِيهِ القُرْآنَ}
Imam Redha (peace be upon him) has said:
If he asks, "Why is it that the fasts were made obligatory extensively in the month of Ramadhan and not in the other months?" it should be said, "(this is) because the month of Ramadhan is the month in which Allah, The Exalted, had revealed the Qur’an."
