Ramadan Greetings 2016

Ramzan Mubarak

Sins are reduced to some extent

Dear Islamic brothers! It is generally observed that the Muslims get more interested in

worship in Ramadan compared to other months. It becomes easier to perform righteous

deeds and a reduction in sins takes place, though to some extent.

Portals of Heaven are opened

Dear Islamic brothers! In Ramadan the gates of mercy and Heaven are opened, those of

Hell are closed and the devils are chained. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (Radi allahu ta'ala anhu)

Has narrated that the Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of Ummah (Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) Would  say to his companions (Radi allahu ta'ala anhu), The month of Ramadan has arrived; it is a very blessed month. Allah (Azza wa jal) has commanded you to fast in it. In this month, the gates of the skies are opened and those of Hell are closed. Satans are kept in chains. In this month there is a blessed night called Laila-tul-Qadr which is greater than a thousand months. The person who is deprived of its blessings is (completely) deprived.’ (Sunan Nasai, pp. 129, vol. 4)

Reward for fasting until Judgement Day

Mother of the believers, Sayyidatuna ‘Aishah Siddiqah (Radi allahu ta'ala anha) has narrated that the Noble Prophet (Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said, ‘If anyone dies in the state of fast, Allah (Azza wa jal) will bless him with the reward of fasting until the Day of Judgement.’ (Firdaus - bima’ Šaur-ul- Khattab, pp. 504, vol. 3, Hadiš 5557)
