Ramadan The Month Of "sharing And Caring" by mawaresms: 6:55pm On Aug 23, 2011 |
"The best among you are those who have the best manners and character." [Sahih Al Bukhari, Vol. 8 No.56] This day shall We save you in your body, that you may be a Sign to those who come after you! But verily, many among mankind are neglectful of Our Signs” --------------(Quran 10:92)----------------------------- LOOK AT THE POWER OF ALLAH ALMIGHTY VIRTUES OF FASTING Fasting has numerous characteristics and virtues. Suffice it would be to mention the following few: 1. Fasting leads to Allah’s forgiveness 2. Fasting protects one from Hellfire 3. Fasting causes one to enter Paradise 4. The reward of fasting is immense 5. Fasting will intercede for a person 1. FASTING LEADS TO ALLAH’S FORGIVENESS Fasting in the month of Ramadan leads to Allah’s forgiveness. He, the Exalted, will forgive all sins in this month. Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that the Messenger of Allah , said: “Whosoever fasts [the month of] Ramadan with iman and with the hope of seeking the reward [of Allah], all his sins will be forgiven.” (Bukhari) 2. FASTING PROTECTS ONE FROM HELLFIRE Abu Sa’id, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah , said: “Whoever fasts a day for the sake of Allah, his face will be distanced from the Hellfire [at a distance equalling] seventy years.” (Bukhari). If fasting for a day means that the face of the person fasting has been distanced seventy years away from the Hellfire, what then of the one who fast all of Ramadan for the sake of Allah? 3. FASTING CAUSES ONE TO ENTER PARADISE Abu Umamah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah , tell me of an action by which I may enter Paradise.’ He replied: ‘Take to fasting, there is nothing like it.’” (An‐Nasa’i) Furthermore, in Paradise itself a special gate has been reserved for those who fast and it is through this gate that such people will enter Paradise. Sahl Ibn Sa’d, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah , said: “Indeed there is a gate of Paradise called Ar‐Rayyan. On the day of Resurrection, those who fast will enter through it; no one enters it except for them, and when they have entered, it is closed so that no one enters it.” (Bukhari) 4. THE REWARD OF FASTING IS IMMENSE Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah , said: “Allah said that all of the actions of the son of Adam are for him except for fasting, for it is for Me and I will recompense it.” Fasting is a shield and when it is the day when one of you fasts, then let him not speak indecently or argue, and if anyone abuses or seeks to fight him then let him say ‘I am fasting’. By Him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad the smell coming from the mouth of the fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. For the fasting person there are two times of joy, when he breaks his fast he is happy and when he meets his Lord he is happy due to his fasting.” (Bukhari) 5. FASTING WILL INTERCEDE FOR A PERSON Fasting will intercede for the believer on the Day of Judgement.7 Amru Ibn Al‐Aas, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah , said: “Fasting and the Qur’an will intercede for the servant on the Day of Judgment. The fast will say: ‘O My Lord, I prevented him from [eating] food and indulging in his desires during the day, so allow me to intercede for him.’ The Qur’an will say: ‘I prevented him from sleeping at night so allow me to intercede for him.’ They will both [then be given the permission to] intercede for him.” (Ahmad) VIRTUES OF THE MONTH OF RAMADAN The month of Ramadan has many characteristics and virtues. It is the: 1. Month of the Qur’an 2. Month of Jihad 3. Month of Spending 4. Month of Du’a 5.
