Ramadhan
A Brief description of the Blessings of Ramadhan
 The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his Family) is reported to have said:
O people, there comes upon you a great month, a most blessed month, in which lies a night greater in worth than one thousand months. Allah has made compulsory Fasting in this month and has decreed wakefulness at night (i.e. Taraaweeh) Sunnah. Whosoever tries drawing nearer to Allah by performing any Nafl (optional) deed in this month, for him shall be such reward as if he had performed a Fardh in any other time of the year. And whoever performs a Fardh, for him shall be the reward of seventy Fardh in any other time of the year. This is indeed the month of patience, and the reward for true patience is Jannah; it is the month of sympathy with one's fellowmen; it is the month wherein a true believer's Rizq (provision) is increased. The month of Ramadhan, the month of blessings has come to you, wherein Allah turns towards you and sends down to you this special Mercy, forgives your faults, accepts prayers, appreciates your competition for the greatest good and boasts to the angels about you. So show to Allah your righteousness; for verily, the most pitiable and unfortunate one is he who is deprived of Allah's Mercy in this month. (Tabraani)

Beg for Jannah, as this is the time for Acceptance
It is reported that Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his Family) said:
The doors of Jannah are opened up on the first night of Ramadhan. Not a single door is closed until the last night of Ramadhan. (Bayhaqee)

Special Actions and Zikr for Ramadhan
It is reported that Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his Family) said:
And in this month, four things you should endeavour to perform in great number; two of which shall be to please your Lord, while the other two shall be those without which you cannot make do. Those which shall be to please your Lord, are that you should in great quantity recite the Kalimah Tayyibah: 'Laa ilaaha illallah', and make much 'istighfaar' (beg Allah's forgiveness). And as for those without which you cannot make do, you should beg Allah for entry into Jannah and seek refuge with Him from the fire of Jahannam. (Ibne Khuzaymah)

Shaytan is Imprisoned
It is reported that Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his Family) said:
When the month of Ramadhan comes, the doors of Jannah are thrown open and the doors of Jahannam are closed and the shayaateen are chained up. (Bukhari, Muslim)

The Great Reward for Fasting
It is reported that Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his Family) said:
The fishes in the sea seek forgiveness for those fasting until they break their fast. Allah decorates His Jannah every day and then says, "The time is near when my pious servants shall cast aside the great trials and come to me." (Ahmad)

Assured Acceptance of Dua’s
It is reported that Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his Family) said:
During each day and night of Ramadhan, Allah sets free great numbers of souls from Hell. And for every Muslim, during each day and night, at least one du'aa is certainly accepted. (Bazzaaz)

Great reward for Worshipping during Ramadhan
It is reported that Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his Family) said:
Whoever stands in prayer and worship in (the nights of) Ramadhan, with Iman and with sincere hope of gaining reward all his previous sins are forgiven. (Bukhari, Muslim)

The Breath of a Fasting Person
It is reported that Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his Family) said:
I swear by that being in whose possession is the life of Muhammad! The odour of the mouth of a fasting person is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk. (Bukhari)
|
Repelling Hell Fire
It is reported that Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his Family) said:
When a servant of Allah observes fasting for a day for the sake of Allah, he thereby repels the fire (of Hell) a distance of seventy years. (Bukhari and Muslim)
|
Eating in Forgetfulness
It is reported that Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his Family) said:
If anyone forgets and eats and drinks by accident while he is fasting, he should complete his fast, for it is Allah who has fed him and given him drink. (Bukhari and Muslim)
