Ye Hai Ramadan
Mercy on fire worshipper
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (Radi allahu ta'ala anhu) has narrated that the Prophet of Ramah, the
Intercessor of Ummah (Rasoolullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has
stated, ‘In Ramadan the gates of the skies are opened.’ (Sahih Bukhari, pp. 626, vol. 1, Hadiš 1899)
Mercy on fire worshipper
There was a fire worshipper who lived in Bukhara. One day he was walking through a
Muslim marketplace along with his son. His son began to eat something publicly. Seeing
his son eating, he slapped him and scolded him saying, ‘Aren’t you ashamed of eating in
the Muslims’ market in Ramadan?’ His son replied, ‘(But) Father, you also eat in Ramadan,
don’t you?’ The father replied, ‘I don’t eat in front of the Muslims, I eat at home where
they can’t see me, I don’t desecrate this holy month.’
After some time, this fire worshipper died. Someone had a dream in which he saw the
deceased stroll in Heaven. Amazed, the dreaming person asked, ‘You were a fire worshipper; how did you get into Heaven?’ He replied, ‘You are right; I was a fire worshipper but at the time of death, Allah (Azza wa jal) blessed me with faith for honouring Ramadan and granted me Heaven after death.’ (Nuzha-tul-Majalis, pp. 217, vol. 1)
May Allah (Azza wa jal) have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!
Devils tied in chains
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (Radi allahu ta'ala anhu) has narrated that the Prophet of Ramah, the
Intercessor of Ummah (Rasoolullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has
stated, ‘In Ramadan the gates of the skies are opened.’ (Sahih Bukhari, pp. 626, vol. 1, Hadiš 1899)
Another narration says that the gates of Paradise are opened and
those of Hell are closed
(and) the devils are kept in chains. Another narration says that
the gates of mercy are
opened. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 543, Hadiš
1079)
