Book excerpt:
The State of Salaf in Ramadan
Fasting is a way of worshipping Allah 2 by abstaining from food, drink:, sexual intercourse (with one’s spouse) and smoking, from dawn till sunset during the whole month of Ramadan.
Fasting is Fardh, as the Almighty Allah said: “0 you who believe, fasting is prescribed to those before you, that you may (learn) self -restraint.”
Following are the VIRTUES of fasting during the auspicious month of Ramadan:
A. The odour of the mouth of a fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the aroma of musk.
B. Angels ask Allah’s forgiveness for the fasting people till they break their fast.
C. There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Rayaan, and none except the fasting people will enter through it.
D. In Ramadan, devils are shackled.
E. In it, there is the Night of Decree (Lailatul Qadr) which is better than a thousand months.
F. Those who fast are forgiven for their sins in the last night of Ramadan.
G. In every night of Ramadan, Allah releases a number of people from Hell.
H. Every day , Allah, having decorated His Paradise, says, “0 Paradise! My good worshippers are about to throw off the burden (of life) and the hann done to them and then get to you! “.
After knowing the aforementioned advantages of Ramadan, how should we get ready to receive it ?
