The holy month of Ramadhan is the month of the descent of the heavenly books.

The Almighty Allah said in the holy Quran: {The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion...} (2:185)

On the advent of the blessed month of Ramadhan, the Holy Prophet (Allah's prayers be upon him and upon his holy Household) delivered a sermon, in which he said: "O People! The month of Allah has come with its mercies, blessings and forgiveness. Allah has decreed this month the best of all months; its days the best of all days, its nights the best of all nights and its hours are the best of all hours..."

Thus, it is clear that God Almighty honored the holy month of Ramadhan by choosing it for the descent of the five heavenly books on his great prophets. The Almighty God revealed the scrolls to the Prophet Ibrahim al-Khaleel [the friend -of Allah-] (peace be upon him), the Torah to the Prophet Musa al-Kaleem [the speaker -with Allah-] (peace be upon him), the Gospel to the Prophet Jesus Rooh [the Spirit of] Allah (peace be upon him), and Zabur [psalms] to the Prophet David (peace be upon him) in the holy month of Ramadhan.

It was narrated from Imam Ja'far as-Sadeq (peace be upon him) that he said: "The Quran was descended as a whole during the month of Ramadhan to al-Bayt al-Ma’mur, after which it was revealed along the span of (more than) twenty years." Then he said: "The Prophet (Allah's prayers be upon him and upon his holy Household) said: `The scrolls of Ibrahim descended on the first night of the month of Ramadhan; the Torah descended on the sixth of the month of Ramadhan; the Injil [Gospel] descended on the thirteenth night of the month of Ramadhan; the Zabur [Psalms] descended on the eighteenth of the month of Ramadhan; and the Quran descended on the twenty third of the month of Ramadhan`."
