The act of fasting in Ramadan can be perfected through the Quran. This is because the Quran was also revealed in the month of Ramadan, so performing acts of worship by reading and completing the Quran can enhance your fasting. As explained in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 185:

"The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed as guidance for mankind, with clear proofs of guidance and the criterion (of right and wrong). So whoever sights (the new moon of) the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and (wants) for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that (to) which He has guided you, and perhaps you will be grateful."

8. Noble Deeds

As stated by Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz rahimahullah:

"That the Imam reciting the entire Quran (until completion) with the congregation in the month of Ramadan is included in this practice (the practice of the Prophet Shallallahu 'alaihi wa salam with the angel Jibril alaihissalam). Therefore, Imam Ahmad rahimahullah likes the Imam who completes the Quran. This is the practice of the salaf, which is to listen to the entire Quran." (Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz rahimahullah).
