Peace be on you. In Ramadhan, God appeared for people through Holy Quran. He desired to bring people closer to Him. For that, He granted a [spiritual] rope in the form of Holy Quran which extends from Him toward believers. Now it is their duty to climb it.
To climb this spiritual rope in Ramadhan means that believers should read, learn and practice the commadments of God which are given in the Holy Quran. In this regard, humbleness and seeking God’s help with patience and Salaat (Prayer) is of fundamental importance. Then there are rights to be paid. Holy Quran (ch2:v152) tells:
'Say, Come, I will rehearse to you what your Lord has made inviolable for you: that you may not associate anything with Him as a partner and that you must treat parents with exceeding kindness, and that you kill not your children for fear of poverty - it is We Who provide for you and for them.....'
[Ref: Explanation of aspects of the verse in Friday sermon, 26 July 2013, by Ahmadiyya Khalifah, alislamDOTorg]
The above verse and next ones continue to tell more about the spiritual rope which takes a practicing believer for raw spiritual and moral state to the matured stage i.e stage of godly people.
