There is no difference between the month of Ramadhan or the days of Ramadhan

I used to read in volume 3 of ‘The Enlightening Answer across the Ether’ [book with the questions and answers from the Imam] and I realized the sentence (the one fasting everyday in the days of Ramadhan) ..I paid attention to the words of Sayed Ahmed Al Hasan about Ramadhan when he did not add “month” and I found religious accounts from Ahlulbayt pbut saying that Ramadhan is a name from the names of Allah and it is forbidden upon a person to say Ramadhan arrived and Ramadhan went away, so I wanted a clarification from you

Does Quran clarify everything?

Question is: Allah (swt) says in the Qur’an {And We have sent down upon you the Book as a clarification for all things} [Surat Al-Nahl 89]. The verse says that Allah sent down the Qur’an to clarify everything, and I do not find everything in the Qu’ran. If the Qur’an clarifies everything, then where is the bacteria in Qur’an? Where is the train in Qur’an? Where are the particles of wood in Qur’an? Those are things, and Qur’an clarifies everything!

We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one] better than it or similar to it

What is the meaning of these verses:
{We do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten except that We bring forth [one] better than it or similar to it. Do you not know that Allah is over all things competent?} [Surat Al-Baqarah 2:106].

The Throne is greater than the Chair

In the book of Tafsir al-Ayashi and in Bihar al-Anwar, Imam al-Sadiq (pbuh) said: “Abu Thar said: ‘O Messenger of Allah what is best of what was sent down unto you?’ He (pbuhap) said, ‘Ayat al-Kursi [2:255],the Seven Heavens and the Seven Earths within the Chair are like a ring lying in desertlands’, then he (pbuhap) said: “And verily its favor upon the Throne is like the favor of the desert upon the ring’”

My God! My Master! You have run a law upon me but instead I obeyed the desires of my own self

“My God! My Master! You have run a law upon me but instead I obeyed the desires of my own self. And I did not guard myself against the allurements of my enemy, he deceived me with that which I desire, and fate helped him in that respect. Thus I transgressed some of Your limits, and I disobeyed some of Your commands. You have therefore a (just) cause/proof against me in all those matters and I have no plea against Your judgement which You passed against me. I have therefore become (justifiably) liable to Your judgement and afflictions. But now I have turned towards You, my Lord, after being guilty of shortcoming against myself and wasting my self, apologetically, repentantly, broken heartedly, entreating earnestly for forgiveness, yieldingly confessing (to my guilt), as I can find no escape from that which was done by me and having no refuge to which I could turn except seeking Your acceptance of my excuse and admitting me into the vastness of Your spacious Mercy.”

It was said about the son of Tawoos (May god’s mercy be upon him) that he said: I have found in Idriss’s (PBUH) papers at the remembrance of Satan and Allah’s answer to him (He said my Lord reprieve me till the day that they are raised. He said no, but you are reprieved till the appointed day. It is the day that I eliminated and necessitated that I will cleanse the ground that day from infidelity, partnership with Allah and sin.

What is the reason for the lack of contentment of the Angels?

Question 103: The Al-Mighty said: {Say thou: were there in the earth angels walking about contentedly, We would surely have sent down unto them from the heaven an angel as an apostle.} [The Holy Qur’an: Surat Al-Isra’ (17): 95], what is the reason for the lack of contentment of the Angels in spreading the Message?

Faith must be free of any request of worldly benefits

Faith must be free of any request of worldly benefits. Moreover, the believer must be ready to face any worldly harm that is a result of his faith. And if the believer was at the top of a mountain (1), Allah would send to him one who harms him in order for him to be rewarded by it and to raise his rank. Moreover, the people most afflicted with tribulations are the prophets and the successors, followed by the better ones, then the better ones (2).
