RAMADHAN mUBARAK - qURAN VERSE

 

Praise be to Allaah.  

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’aan, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Sawm (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allaah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allaah [i.e. to say Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar: Allaah is the Most Great)] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.”

[al-Baqarah 2:185] 

RAMADHAN - The Gates of Paradise are opened.

When Ramadan comes

   The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are put in chains.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary: We benefit from this Hadith that in the month of Ramadan the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are shut, and the devils are chained up. In another narration Al-Nasaa’i narrated from Abu Hurayrah (radi Allahu anhu) that the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “When Ramadan comes, the gates of mercy are opened and the gates of Hell are shut, and the devils are put in chains.” [Classed as Sahih by Sh al-Albaani in Sahih al-Jaami’, 471]

The month of Ramadan is an opportunity for every Muslim to do good deeds, so we should make the most of this month by using our time wisely by performing deeds and actions which will benefit us in this life and the next.

And Allah knows best!
