الظاهر
هو اسمُ فاعل من (الظهور)، وهو اسمٌ ذاتي من أسماء الربِّ تبارك...
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He who observes fasting during the month of Ramadan faithfully and expecting its reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven."
Allah will forgive the previous sins of the one who fasts the month of Ramadan, out of firm belief in Allah’s promise and sincerely expecting its reward from Allah, the Almighty. This does not apply to the one who fasts for showing off (his good deeds) and win good opinion of people.
