Ramadan Sunnah 8: Watch what you say

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Whoever does not abandon falsehood in word and action, then Allah Mighty and Majestic has no need [i.e. will not accept] that he should leave his food and drink” [Bukhari]

Let us remember that fasting during Ramadan is not simply a fasting of the stomach, but it must be combined with the ethics of fasting. Fasting was prescribed for us so that we would learn- it does not give us an excuse to be cranky. Rather be the best person you can be while abstaining from food and drink.
