Ramadan is a month of great virtue. In this month, the gates of heaven are opened, the gates of hell are closed, and the devil and his companions, the evil jinn, are chained.
It is narrated in the Hadith: – When the first night of Ramadan arrives, all the gates of heaven are opened and not a single gate is closed throughout the entire month.
Allah Almighty commands a caller: – He announces in this way – “O you who hope for goodness! Go forward, O you who hope for evil! Turn back.” He also announces – Is there anyone who asks for forgiveness? He will be forgiven. Is there anyone who prays? His prayer will be accepted. Is there anyone who repents? His repentance will be accepted. This call continues until morning.
“Every night during Iftar, Allah Almighty frees one million sinners for whom Hell had become inevitable.”

Hazrat Salman Farsi (RA) Sahib said:- Once the Holy Prophet (PBUH) addressed us on the last day of Shaban and said:-
“O people! A great month has overshadowed you, a blessed month, a month in which there is a night that is better than a thousand months. Allah has made its fasting obligatory (upon you) and its prayer voluntary for you.
Whoever performs a voluntary deed in that month to gain nearness to Allah is like one who performs an obligatory deed in another month, and whoever performs an obligatory deed in that month is like one who performs seventy obligatory deed in another month.
It is the month of patience, and the reward for patience is Paradise. It is the month of compassion. It is the month in which the provision of the believer is increased.”
The Hadith also states: The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: My Ummah has been given five things in the month of Ramadan which no previous Ummah has been given.
The smell of the mouth of a fasting person is more fragrant to Allah than the fragrance of musk.
The angels continue to pray for the forgiveness of the sins of the fasting person until the breaking of the fast.
The mischievous devils are chained in this month.
Every day Allah Almighty decorates Paradise and says, “My righteous servants are leaving the sorrows and troubles of this world and are coming soon (to Paradise).”
On the last night of Ramadan, the sins of the fasting person are forgiven. It was asked: O Messenger of Allah (PBUH)! Does this forgiveness happen on the Night of Power? The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: No; Rather, the rule is that the worker receives his wages only after completing the work.

During Ramadan, Allah’s mercy continues to pour down in a continuous stream throughout the month.
This blessed month has been divided into three parts. Namely, the first ten days are the days of Allah’s mercy, the second ten days are the days of forgiveness and forgiveness of sins, and the last ten days are the days of salvation, that is, the fortunate time of liberation from Hell. Allah has prescribed two joys for the fasting person.
First, the joy that the fasting person gets during Iftar.
Second, the joy that the fasting person will feel when meeting Allah on the Day of Judgment.
The entire month of Ramadan is a month of worship. Saimud Dahr, Qaimul Lail. Fasting during the day, prayer at night. There is no other month of worship that extends throughout the day and night. Therefore, Ramadan is a blessed month. Ramadan is the best month.
O Zakiran! Have you understood something about the importance, significance and virtues of fasting. Fast voluntarily. In the month of Ramadan, only virtue and virtue. This month is a month of competition for virtue. You will fast, those who are able will recite the Quran, perform more voluntary acts of worship, and perform the deeds of the Tariqa properly. Remember, Allah is so much more pleased with the worship of this month that there is no comparison. One voluntary act in this month is equivalent to one obligatory act. One obligatory act is equal to 70 obligatory acts. So, observe the fast of Ramadan and other acts of worship with love. May Allah have mercy on you. Amen!
