Importance and excellence of the month of Ramadan
Fasting is a strange act of worship that a person can do all his work by fasting.
The month of Ramadan is a blessed month and the greatness of this month can be estimated from the fact that the Holy Quran was revealed in this holy month. The first ten days of Ramadan are for mercy, the second ten days are for forgiveness and the third ten days are for salvation from the fire of hell. When the moon of Ramadan was visible, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say that this moon is good and blessed. I believe in the One who created you. Hazrat Jibraeel (peace be upon him) prayed that the person who finds the month of Ramadan and could not forgive himself should perish, on which Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, Amen! This prayer of Hazrat Jibraeel (peace be upon him) and saying Amen to it by Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) should help us understand the importance of Ramadan. And the reward will be given to the fasting person without any connection. There is definitely some wisdom hidden in all the methods of worship that God has given for His servants. Prayer is a means of communication with God. In it the servant talks to his true God. In particular, fasting is also a means of worshiping God Almighty. It is said in the blessed hadith that Ramadan is the city of God, "Ramadan is the month of God Almighty, which shows that the Lord has a special relationship with this blessed month, which is why it is blessed." The month is distinct and separate from other months.
It was narrated from Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said that five things were given to my ummah in the month of Ramadan, which no Prophet before me (peace be upon him) was given.
The first is that when the first night of Ramadan occurs, Allah Almighty looks at them with mercy and He will never punish whomever Allah Almighty looks at. The second is that the smell of their mouth in the evening (which is caused by hunger) is better than the smell of musk in the sight of Allah. Thirdly, the angels pray for forgiveness for them every night and day. He says: "Be adorned for my (good) servants, soon they will find relief from the hardships of the world in my house and grace. Fifth, when the last night of the month of Ramadan comes, Allah Almighty forgives everyone. Considering all these virtues of this blessed month, Muslims should make special arrangements for worship in this month and should not let any moment go wasted.۔
In this holy month, worship has been prescribed as a duty in such a way that a person can be busy with all his needs and desires along with this worship and can also engage in this particular way of worship, such a special way. The worship of is called fasting, which is made obligatory in this month, fasting is a strange worship that a person can do all his work by fasting, industry, trade, and pilgrimage can be done well by fasting. Then the big thing is that even when engaging in these activities, the worship of fasting continues to be released spontaneously from the fasting person and he continues to get the reward of engaging in worship.
Allah Tabarak and Taala has made man the best among all His creations, He has placed in his nature both goodness and badness, goodness and evil, submissiveness and disobedience and goodness and badness. The fruit and result of this is that both good and evil can come from any human being. It is possible for a human being to do good deeds and bad deeds, but if someone avoids bad deeds and sins and adorns his life and his precious moments with good deeds and virtues, then this is all about being successful and noble in the eyes of the Creator and the Creator. There is a greater sign than this, and it is piety and piety that is the real purpose of fasting, as Allah the Exalted said:
O you who believe, fasting has been written for you as it has been written for those before you so that you may be righteous for a limited number of days. (Al-Baqara: 183, 184)
O believers! Fasting is enjoined upon you, as it was enjoined upon those before you, so that you may be pious, a few days are counted.
اللہ تبارک وتعالیٰ نے اپنی تمام مخلوقات میں
The meaning of piety is: preventing the self from evil and the main means of this is fasting, as one of the Companions said to the Holy Prophet: “O Messenger of Allah! Order me to do something that Allah Almighty will benefit me.” He said: “Alik balsoom, for it is not comparable.” (Sunan Nasa’i, vol. 1, p. 140). . "That is, fast, there is no action like it." Now Ramadan has arrived, as if this month is like a spring for good deeds and obedience, that is why Ramadan is the most important of the Islamic months of the year. It is a month of greatness, virtues and blessings. In this month, Allah blesses the people of faith with His pleasure, love and gifts, His guarantee and grace and His lights. In this month, the reward of every good deed is multiplied many times. In this month, when one fasts with the condition of faith and accountability, all the minor sins of the previous life are forgiven by its blessing, and when one stays at night (Taraweeh) with the same condition, all the previous sins are also forgiven. Sins are forgiven. In this month, one good deed is equal to duty and duty is equal to seventy duties. One night of this month, which is called Shab-e-Qadr, has been declared better than a thousand months.
Fasting of Ramadan is obligatory and Taraweeh has been made Nafl (Sunnah Muqadah). This is the month of patience, and the reward of patience is paradise. It is the month of compassion and benevolence, in it the sustenance of the believer is increased, in it the fasting person is given the same reward as the person who fasts, in addition to forgiveness, forgiveness of sins and freedom from hellfire, even if he breaks the fast. Why not have a date or a sip of water, yes! If the fasting person is fed or watered to his full stomach, Allah will give him such water from the reservoir of Kausar that he will not be thirsty until he enters Paradise. The first decade of this month is mercy, the second is forgiveness and the third is freedom from hell. Whoever reduces the work of his subordinates in this month, Allah will reward him with forgiveness and freedom from hell. Throughout the year, Paradise is decorated for Ramadan. The general law is that the reward of a good deed is from ten to seven hundred, but fasting is an exception to this law, Allah Almighty says: "Fasting is only for Me and I will give its reward myself." "The fasting person gets two joys: one at the time of breaking the fast, when his fast is completed and his supplication is accepted, and he broke the fast with the blessings of Allah Almighty, and the second joy is when he meets Allah Almighty. The smell of a fasting person's mouth (which comes because the stomach is empty) is more fragrant than musk in the sight of Allah. Both fasting and the Holy Quran will intercede for the servant and the intercession of both will be accepted in favor of the servant
Ramadan Mubarak The month of greatness, sanctity and excellence
Ramadan Mubarak is a special reward of Allah Almighty for us. This month is the month of revelation of Quran. It is the month of the revelation of special mercies and blessings of Allah Ta'ala, generous sustenance, good wishes for each other and efforts to enter Paradise and escape from Hellfire. Along with the revelation of the last book and Shariat, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was given the good news of prophethood in this month. This holy month contains immense merits and virtues such as Qiyaam al-Lail, gathering together, reciting the Qur'an, supplication, spending for the sake of Allah, Lailatul Qadr and I'tikaf, which a pure person can achieve immense fruits.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Hijri lunar year, in which a few things are avoided from dawn to sunset for the sake of God. For example, eating and drinking and some other permissible activities are given up. In Shari'a language, the name of this Turk is 'Roza', which is one of the most important acts of worship in Islam. Ramadan is an Arabic word, which means intense heat in Urdu, that is, in this month Allah burns the sins of the believers and forgives them through the blessing of fasting and His mercy. Ramadan is derived from the word 'Rimaz' which means 'the heat of stones, sand, etc. by the intensity of the sun'. That is why the burning land is called 'Ramaza' and when fasting was first made obligatory, the holy month of Ramadan was during the hot summer days. When the feeling of summer increased due to fasting, this month was named Ramadan.
The arrival of Ramadan is coming, as if this month is like a spring for good deeds and obedience, that is why Ramadan is the month with the most greatness, virtues and blessings among the Islamic months of the year. Fasting in Ramadan is Fard and Taraweeh is Nafl (Sunnah Muqadah). In this month, Allah Ta'ala blesses the people of faith with His pleasure, love and grace, His guarantee and grace and His lights. In this month, the reward and reward of every good deed is increased many times. When fasting is observed with the condition of faith and accountability, all the minor sins of the previous life are forgiven by its blessings. In this month, one good deed is equal to a duty and a duty is equal to seventy duties. A night called Shab-e-Qadr is considered better than a thousand months. This is the month of patience and the reward of patience is Paradise. It is a month of compassion and benevolence, in which the sustenance of the believer is increased. There are three decades in this month, the first decade is mercy, the second is forgiveness and the third is freedom from hell
رمضان المبارک ہمارے لیے اللہ تعالیٰ کا خصوصی
Allah Ta'ala has made man the best and noblest of all His creations, He has placed in his nature both goodness and badness, goodness and evil, obedience and disobedience, goodness and badness. As Allah Ta'ala said in Surah Al-Baqarah (verses 183, 184) - translation: 'O you who believe! Fasting has been prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those who came before you, so that you may become pious, there are only a few days to count. This is piety and piety which is the main purpose of fasting. The meaning of piety is to restrain the self from evil. Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said (Lukal Shi Zakat wa Zakat al-Abdan al-Sayam) Zakat is for everything and Zakat for human bodies is fasting. The Holy Prophet said (I love three things in this world, fasting in summer, wielding the sword in the way of God and respecting guests). A companion said to the Holy Prophet, O Messenger of Allah! Order me to do something that will benefit me from Allah Ta'ala. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Keep fasting, there is no act like it." In the Holy Qur'an, Allah Almighty said about the obligation of fasting, "O you who believe, let fasting be written for you as it was written for those before you." (Al-Baqarah, 183) Translation: O believers! Fasting has been enjoined upon you as it was enjoined upon the people before you, so that you may become pious. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Fasting is a paradise from the fire, like a paradise for those who fight (Nisa'i, Sunan, Kitab Al-Siyam).
It was narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira that the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said while explaining the virtues of fasting. Whoever fasts in Ramadan, I believe and reckons, forgive him. Ma Taqadam Min Zanbih (Bukhari, Sahih, Kitab al-Soom). Translation: Whoever keeps the fasts of Ramadan with the intention of re-establishing faith, his previous sins are forgiven. It was narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: All the deeds of the son of Adam are multiplied by ten acts of good deeds to the seventh of what Allah wills, says Allah. The Exalted: Except for fasting, it is for me, and I will reward it (Ibn Majah , Al-Sunan, Kitab al-Sayam). Translation: The good deeds of the son of Adam are increased from ten times to seven hundred times as much as Allah wills. Allah Almighty has said: Fasting is exempted from this because it is for Me and I will reward it.
It is clear from the above blessed hadith that the reward of good deeds is increased from ten times to seven hundred times due to sincerity and sincerity, but sometimes the reward of fasting is unlimited and immeasurable. . It does not need any measurement and calculation, its quantity is known only by Allah. The following are the reasons for this great virtue of fasting
اللہ تعالیٰ نے اپنی تمام مخلوقات میں انسان کو
Fasting is hidden from people, no one can know it except Allah, while the state of other acts of worship can be known to people. In this sense, fasting is purely for the sake of Allah. During fasting, self-sacrifice, labor and the body have to go through the furnace of patience and endurance. In this, one has to be patient with hunger, thirst and other desires of the soul, while in other worships there is not so much effort and self-sacrifice. Hypocrisy is not involved in fasting, while hypocrisy may be suspected in other outward acts of worship such as prayer, Hajj, Zakat, etc. Abstaining from food and drink brings the fasting person closer to Allah. The knowledge of the reward of fasting is known to none but Allah, while the reward of other acts of worship has been revealed by Allah to the creation. Fasting is a form of worship that no one knows except Allah, not even the angels. There is no limit to the reward of patience, therefore, while declaring the reward of fasting in Ramadan to be limitless, Allah Almighty attributed it to Himself to be part of its reward.
Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to arrange a few things and used to teach and exhort the Ummah. As much as he cared about the dates of Sha'ban, he did not care about the dates of other months. He said: Arrange the month of Sha'ban for the sake of Ramadan. The Holy Prophet ordered to eat Suhoor, "Eat Suhoor, because eating Suhoor is blessed" and said, "There is a difference between us and the People of the Book fasting." That is, it was forbidden for the People of the Book to eat and drink after putting them to sleep. The Prophet (PBUH) said that people will always be on good terms as long as they continue to break fast (after sunset). The one who mentions in Ramadan is forgiven and the one who asks in this month is not in vain. One daily supplication of a fasting person is accepted. Many people are freed from hell every day in Ramadan
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) used to stay awake at night during the last decade of Ramadan and would also keep his family members awake. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Look for the night of Qadr in the last decade of Ramadan. When Lailatul Qadr comes, Gabriel descends with the angels and every servant who is standing or sitting is remembering Allah (recitation, tasbih, tahlil and nawafil, In order to engage in dhikr and worship in some way) they pray for mercy for him. 1. If someone misses a fast of Ramadan without an excuse or illness, even if he fasts for the rest of his life, he cannot make up for it. In the state of fasting, one should refrain from indecent words such as backbiting, slander, abuse, cursing, taunting, misrepresentation, all sins, otherwise nothing will be gained except being hungry and thirsty. If someone else comes and speaks indecently, then say that I am fasting, because fasting is a shield
