• The merit of the month of Ramadan.
• Bearing glad tidings for those who fast in it, that this blessed month is a season of worship and goodness.
• Chaining the devils during Ramadan is an indication of the removal of excuses for the person who is held accountable for religious duties, as if it is being said to him: The devils have been restrained from you, so do not use them as an excuse for neglecting acts of obedience or committing sins.
• Al-Qurtubi said: If it is asked: How do we see evils and sins occurring frequently in Ramadan, if the devils are chained? The answer is that they are only restrained from those who observe the fast with its conditions and adhere to its etiquettes. Or it is the rebellious devils who are chained, not all of them, as mentioned in some narrations. Or it is intended that the evils are reduced during this month, which is a tangible matter; for the occurrence of such acts in Ramadan is less than in other months. This is because the chaining of all the devils does not entail that no evil or sin can occur, as there are other causes for them, such as corrupt souls, bad habits, and human devils.
