Abu Huraira reported the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "Ramadan has come to you, is a blessed month. Allah has made on you fast. In it, the gates of heaven are opened, the gates of Hell are closed and the evil devils are chained. To Allaah belongs a night in, which is better than a thousand months. Anyone who is prevented from its good, then he has been deprived "[1].
This hadith is a happy news for the righteous servants of Allah, the coming of blessed month of Ramadan. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) informed his companions of his coming and it was not just a simple batch of news. Moreover, his attempt was to give them the happy news of a magnificent time of year, so that straight people who are quick to act to give its proper estimate. This is because the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) said it (the Hadith) Allah has prepared for His servants of the pathways win forgiveness and His happy, and there are many ways. So whosoever has forgiveness from him during the month of Ramadan, then he has been deprived of the highest deprivation.
of the greatest favors and bounties that Allah has bestowed upon His servants is that He has prepared for his meritorious cases so they can be helpful to those who obey Him and a career for those who are rushing to compete ( by good deeds). These occasions are times for meritorious fulfill the hopes for working in obedience and compensation of errors and deficiencies for self correction and repentance. No single occasion virtuosos of our time, except that Allah has assigned in this work of obedience, by which one can approach Him, and Allah has the most beautiful things as gifts, which He bestows upon whomsoever He wills by His Grace and Mercy.
So the one who achieves true happiness is the one who takes advantage of these virtuous months, days and hours and goes to his guardian in them, to do what is required by them of acts of obedience.
So perhaps it will be shown with one of the many blessings of those occasions and be helped by it, with assistance that saves him from fire and what contains, as its fiery heat. [2]
be capable of Ramadan is a magnificent generosity itself, conferred on one who reaches it and rises to the occasion, standing in prayer during the night and fasting during the day. In it, he returns to his Protector, (left) to disobey Him to obey Him, (left) of neglecting Him to remember Him, (left) to stay away from him to become submissive to Him in repentance.
A Muslim must be aware of this generosity and recognize its magnitude. For indeed, many people are prevented from fasting, even because they die before they succeed, or because they are not able to observe or because they oppose and stay away. Thus, one who fasts should give praise to the Lord for the generosity and should welcome this month with joy and delight that a magnificent time of year out of every opportunity to perform obedience is welcome. He should work itself deep into doing good deeds. And should invoke Allah to ensure t standing fast in the night prayer and that He will provide a serious, enthusiasm, strength and energy in that month. And that he neglected to wake him sleep so you can take advantage of these virtuous good times.
is unfortunate to find that many people do not know the value of this virtuous time, and consider it sacred. So the month of Ramadan does not become a significant time for obedience, worship, recitation of the Quran, giving charity and doing Allah's reminder. In addition, for some people, it becomes a significant time to diversify their food and drinks and to prepare different types of dishes before the month begins. Some other people do not know of Ramadan, except as a month of constant and recurrent drowsiness and meetings while you sleep during the day. This is to the point that some of them sleep until after time for the obligatory prayers, and not rezándolas in congregation or in their own time. Other people do not know Ramadan except as a significant time for conducting worldly affairs, not as a significant time to conduct business for the Hereafter. So they work very hard in it, buying and selling, and they stay in the shopping areas, consequently leaving the masaajid. And when they pray with people, they do it in a hurry. This is because they find their pleasure in shopping. That is the extent that the notions and views (of Ramadan) have been changed. Some of the Salaf used to say: "Indeed Allah, the Most High, has made the month of Ramadan as a competition for His creatures, in which they can compete with another for His pleasure, to obey. One group comes first and so they prosper and another group comes last and so they fail. "[3]
Also, the individual does not know if this is perhaps the last Ramadan you see in your life if he completes it. Many men, women and children have fasted with us last year, and now lie buried in the depths of the earth, depending on their good deeds. And they expect many more Ramadaans fast. Similarly, we should all follow his path. Therefore, it is about the Muslim to rejoice in this magnificent occasion for obedience. And it should not give it up, but instead busied himself with what will benefit him and what its effect will cause to stay. For what else is it except the numbered days, which are fasted in succession and which end rapidly.
May Allaah make us as much as you, among those who are more advanced in the good deeds remain.
