The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his wives are [in the position of] their mothers. And those

of [blood] relationship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the decree of Allah than the [other] believers and the emigrants,

except that you may do to your close associates a kindness [through bequest]. That was in the Book inscribed. (33:6)

It is reported on the authority of Anas that the Messenger of Allah ( ( ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said:

No bondsman believes, and, in the hadith narrated by Abdul Warith, no person believes, till I am dearer to him than the members of his household,

his wealth and the whole of mankind.(Sahih Muslim)

O Prophet, tell them plainly, "If your fathers and your sons, and your brothers and your wives, and your near and dear ones and the wealth which you have

acquired and the trade you fear may decline and the homes which delight you-if all these things-are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and the struggle in His Way, then wait till Allah passes His judgment on you; for Allah

does not guide the wicked people" . (9:24)

Whose Hand my soul is, (you will not have complete faith) till I am dearer to you than your own self." Then `Umar said to him, "However, now, by Allah, you are dearer to

me than my own self." The Prophet ( ( ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said, "Now, O `Umar, (now you are a believer).

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet said,

"None of you should fast a day or two before the month of Ramadan unless he has the habit of fasting (Nawafil) (and if his fasting

coincides with that day) then he can fast that day."(Sahih al-Bukhari)

Fasting in Ramadan

O you who have believed! decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you

that you may become righteous (2:183)

The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that

[to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful. (2:185)

Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than

a thousand months. (97:1-3)

What else is special about Ramadan?

Because of this

Start counting the days;

start preparing yourself

Narrated By Ibn Umar : I heard Allah's Apostle صىل هللا عليه وسمل saying, "When you see the crescent (of the month of Ramadan), start

fasting, and when you see the crescent (of the month of Shawwal), stop fasting; and if the sky is overcast (and you can't see It) then

regard the crescent (month) of Ramadan (as of 30 days)".(Al-Bukhari: 1901)

When you see the crescent, say

“Allah is the greatest. O Allah, let the crescent loom above us in safety, faith,

peace, and Islam, and in agreement with all that You love and pleases You. Our

Lord and your Lord is Allah.”

The uniqueness of Ramadan

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah صىل هللا عليه وسمل said:

“When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are put in chains.”

(Agreed upon)

What is Ramadan?

• Ramadan is a period of fasting, reflection, devotion, generosity and sacrifice observed by Muslims around the world. While major holidays of other faiths have largely become commercialized events, Ramadan retains its intense spiritual meaning.

• The word "Ramadan" comes from the Arabic root word for "parched thirst" and "sun-baked ground“. It is expressive of the hunger and thirst felt by those who spend the month in fasting. As opposed to other holidays, when people often indulge, Ramadan is by nature a time of sacrifice.

Fasting is a pillar of Islamثنا جرير، عن ع ثن زهي بن حرب، حد زرعة، عن أب -وهو ابن القعقاع -ارة، حد

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allahصىل هللا عليه وسمل said:

“Ask me (about matters pertaining to religion), but they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) were too much overawed out of profound respect for him to ask him (anything). In the meanwhile a man came there, and sat

near his knees and said: Messenger of Allah, what al-lslam is? -to which he (the Holy Prophet) replied:

You must not associate anything with Allah, and establish prayer, pay the poor-rate (Zakat) and observe (the fasts) of Ramadan. He said: You (have)

told the truth…….” (Sahih Muslim )

Cont.

Ibn ‘Abbas said: ‘Islam and the principles of religion

are tied together by three things: Witnessing that there is no deity

except Allah, the prayer, and fasting during Ramadan.’

The importance of Ramadan

Waathilah ibn al-Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon

him) said:

“The Scriptures of Ibraaheem were sent down on the first of the month of Ramadaan. The Tawraat was sent down on the sixth of Ramadaan. The Injeel was sent down on the thirteenth of Ramadaan. The Zaboor was sent down on the eighteenth of Ramadaan, and the Qur’aan was sent down on the twenty-fourth of Ramadaan.

Narrated By Abu Hurairah : Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'All the deeds of Adam's sons (people) are for them, except fasting which is for Me, and I will give the reward for it.' Fasting is a shield or protection from the fire and from committing sins. If one of you is fasting, he should avoid sexual

relation with his wife and quarrelling, and if somebody should fight or quarrel with him, he should say, 'I am fasting.' By Him in Whose Hands my soul is' The unpleasant smell coming out from the

mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. There are two pleasures for the fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when

he will meet his Lord; then he will be pleased because of his fasting.“(Al-Bukhari)

Narrated By Ibn 'Abbas : The Prophet صىل هللا عليه وسمل was the most generous amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan when Gabriel visited him, and Gabriel used to meet him on every night of

Ramadan till the end of the month. The Prophet صىل هللا عليه وسمل used to recite the Holy Qur'an to Gabriel, and when Gabriel met him, he used to be more

generous than a fast wind (which causes rain and welfare). (Al-Bukhari)

Learning تعلمي

Our Lord, and send among them a messenger from themselves who will recite to them Your

verses and teach them the Book and wisdom and purify them. Indeed, You are the Exalted in

Might, the Wise.(2:129)

Learning تعلمي

Certainly did Allah confer [great] favor upon the believers when He sent among them a Messenger from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and

wisdom, although they had been before in manifest error. (3:164)

Those to whom We have given the Book recite it with its true recital. They [are the ones who]

believe in it. And whoever disbelieves in it - it is they who are the losers.

So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.

Preaching تبليغ

O Messenger! deliver what has been revealed to you from your Lord; and if you do it not, then you

have not delivered His message, and Allah will protect you from the people; surely Allah will not

guide the unbelieving people.(5:67)

Preaching تبليغ

So, in case they turn away, then surely you have only (to deliver) the evident

proclamation.

(16:82)

Implementation تنفيذ

And if the people of the townships had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have

opened for them blessings from the sky and from the earth. But (unto every messenger) they gave the lie, and so We seized them on account of what they used to earn. (7:96)

somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should tell him twice, 'I am fasting." The Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصadded, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell coming out from the

mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. (Allah says about the fasting person),

'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The fast is for Me. So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times.".

Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger, may prayers and peace be upon him, said:

‘as-Siyaam and the Qur’aan will intercede for the servant on the day of judgment. As-Siyaam will say, ‘My Lord I prevented him (i.e. the servant) from food

and his desires, so allow me to intercede for him. The Qur’aan will say, ‘My Lord, I prevented

him from sleeping through the night, so allow me to intercede for him. He said (i.e. the Messenger of

Allah), so they will be allowed to intercede.(Ahmad, At-Tabaraanee)

Abu Hurairah narrated that Allah's Messenger ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصsaid, "Whoever gives two kinds (of things or property) in charity for Allah's Cause, will be called from the gates of Paradise and will be

addressed, 'O slaves of Allah! Here is prosperity.' So, whoever was amongst the people who used to offer their prayers, will be called from the gate of the prayer; and whoever was amongst the people

who used to participate in Jihad, will be called from the gate of Jihad; and whoever was amongst those who used to observe fasts, will be called from the gate of Ar-Raiyan; whoever was amongst

those who used to give in charity, will be called from the gate of charity." Abu Bakr said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Messenger ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصNo distress or need will

befall him who will be called from those gates. Will there be any one who will be called from all these gates?" The Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلصreplied, "Yes, and I hope you will be one of them."

the presence of Abu Bakrah, so he said: "I do not search for it due to something that I heard from the

Messenger of Allah, except for during the last ten (nights); for indeed I heard him say:

'Search for it when nine remain, or; when seven remain, or; when five remain, or; during the last three nights.'" He (Uyainah) said: "During

the twenty (nights) of Ramadan, Abu Bakrah used to perform Salat just as he performed Salat during the rest of the year. But when the (last)

ten began, he would struggle (performing more Salat during the night).“

The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed i'tikaf in the middle ten days of Ramadan to seek Lailat-ul-Qadr before it was made manifest to him. When (these nights)

were over, he commanded to strike the tent. Then it was made manifest to him that (Lailat-ul-Qadr) was in the last ten nights (of Ramadan), and commanded to pitch the tent (again).

He then came to the people and said: O people, Lailat-ul-Qadr was made manifest to me and I came out to inform you about it that two persons came contending with each other and

there was a devil along with them and I forgot it. So seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan. Seek it on the ninth, on the seventh and on the fifth. I (one of the narrators) said: Abu Sa'id,

you know more than us about numbers. He said: Yes, indeed we have better right than you. I said: What is this ninth, seventh, and fifth? He said: When twenty-one (nights are over) and

the twenty-second begins, it is the ninth, and when twenty-three (nights) are over, that which follows (the last night) is the seventh, and when twenty-five nights are over, what

follows it is fifth. Ibn Khallad said: Instead of the word Yahliqan (contending), he said Yakhtasiman, (they are disputing). (Sahih Muslim)
