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
