Ramadan is going to start after a few days,
What is Ramazan?
it is a ninth month of Islamic calender ,it is month of barakah ,it is a tome of joyous growth, it is time for worship and soul purification, it is time to come closer to Allah,The prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him)says :
“اذا جاءرمضان فتحت ابواب الجنۃ وغلقت ابواب النار وصفدت الشیاطین “
Translation:where there comes the month of Ramazan, The doors of mercy (jannah)open , and hellfire is closed, the devils are chained up in it(Muslim)
There is first ten days for rahmah,the second ten days for maghfirat ,and the last ten days are to free from hellfire, in it ,the reward of nafils equal to farz,and farz is equal to 70faraiz in reward.Hazrat Aysha(RZ) Says
“کان النبی ﷺاذا داخل العشر شد مئزرہ واحیا لیلہ وایقظ اھلہ “
Translation:when the Ramazan entered The prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him)used to tight his pant, lived his night and awake his family.
Now ,Ramazan is upon us once again, But our mosques have been closed because of the virus,But the door of God is open so there is no need to be disappointed, there is question “HOW WE SPEND THIS RAMAZAN “There are some tips to do in it.
1.FASTING
It is the fifth pillar of islam ,and it is obligatory on who is an adult. In hadith ,The prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him)said:fasting will say in the day of judgment, O,Allah i prevented him form food and desires during the day, so accept my intercession for him,and the Qur’an will say O,my lord,I prevented him from sleeping by night ,so accept my intercession for him, the intercessions of both will be accepted (AHMAD)
ALLAH almighty says ,”The sawm (roza)is for me ,i shall reward it as i like.
In essence, there are many prophet ‘s sayings about it.
Inspite of that ,some people don’t fast and say “we can’t fast because of the summer and heat while they may sit inside air conditioned office and homes, and still complain.They should imagine the prophet and his companions, how they fasted? In additional ,he used to meet people and counselled them “How they spend Ramazan?, not only that,but he also participated jihad while fasting ,the battle of BADR and TABOK were fought during this blessed month of Ramazan in the scorching heat of Arab.
2.. RELATION AN RECITATION OF QURAN
The companions of our prophet Mohammed (may Allah peace and blessings be upon him) used to give special preference to the Quran during the holy month of ramazan, their recitation was not only reading verses but contemplating in its meanings.
Therefore, sufyan saury used to leave all acts of worship and turn to Quran,
Said ibn jubair used to finish the whole recitation of Quran in two nights,
Abo hanifa used to complete the holy Quran 61 times in a month.(Almustatraf)
Imam e shafai used to complete th Quran 60 times. (Alfatawa alhadisiya)
Shaik ul hadith hazrat zakariya used to recite the 30 verses in every day.(aap beti)
There ara many examples of our elders How was their Ramazan?and how was our Ramazan?imagine!
3.offer taraweeh .it is sunnah and pray extra salah.
4.Give zakat,and increase your charity as well as, the prophet was the most generous of all people and he used to become most generous in Ramazan,
Zuhri said, it is time of feeding poor,
Ibne omer used to break his fast with poor and if a poor person came to him asking food while he was eating, he used to give him his portion.
Therefore, we should improve our charity and feed the poors,not waste our money for parties Especially at this time۔
5..Try to perform Tahajjud and ishraq and chasht.
6.Don’t waste time
It is precious and blessed time ,we should give attention to worship. Some ladies spend their time to make different kinds of meals at the time of iftar,and some males take a part of it ,it is a time of dua, plz take care of this time.
7..Repent and ask Allah for forgiveness
8.in the last ten days ,perform itekaf,it is sunnah.
9.Don’t use smart phones in ever time to pass time,it is also big devil,it terns attention from worship to bad habits.
10…Avoid from sins and immoral things.
JAbir bin Abdullah said”when you fast then let your eyes, ears and tongue fast from false statements and bad deeds, and be calm and don’t let the day of your fasting and the day of your not fasting be the same.
Abu Huraira related that prophet Mohammed, said,many people who fast get nothing from their fast except hunger and thirsty, many people who pray at the night ,get nothing from it except wakefulness BECAUSE of their immoral act(Darami)
May Allah give us taofiq to do these things.
Aameen!
