Ramadan and fasting in Ramadan are one of the
VERY beloved acts of worship (and Ibadah) in the eyes of
Allah!
This book provides Allah’s commands, prophet
guidance and scholarly advice and interpretation on a
great Islamic month – Ramadan. It also covers the
virtues of fasting – rewards that no one can
comprehend.
Consider the following about Ramadan and
Fasting.
The prophet said, ““Whoever fasts the month
of Ramadan out of faith and in the hope of earning
reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven, and
whoever stays up during Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and
in the hope of earning reward, all his previous sins
will be forgiven.” (Agreed upon). ”
Nothing probably
explains more about the blessings of Ramadan than the
Night of Decree (Laylatal Qadr) – the worship during
that ONE night is better than worshipping Allah for more
than ONE THOUDAND months!
On the Night of the Descree
in Ramadan, descend the angels and the Rooh [Jibreel
(Gabriel)] by Allah’s Permission with all Decrees,
In
this month, Allaah opens the gates of Paradise and
closes the gates of Hell, and chains up the devils, as
is stated in al-Saheehayn (al-Bukhaari, 1898; Muslim,
1079), from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah who said that
the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) said: “When Ramadaan comes, the gates of
Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed,
and the devils are chained up.”
Whoever prays qiyaam
in Ramadaan with the imam until he finishes, it will be
recorded for him that he spent the whole night in
prayer, because of the report narrated by Abu Dawood
(1370) and others from the hadeeth of Abu Dharr (may
Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever prays qiyaam with the imam until he finishes,
it will be recorded for him that he spent the whole
night in prayer.” Classed as saheeh by
al-Albaani
