- Umra’h (shorter/minor pilgrimage) in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj (major pilgrimage).
- Muslims observe I’tikaaf (residing in the mosque for worship) in the Ramadan especially in the last 10 days of this Holy month.
- It is very rewarding act in Ramadan to offer Iftaar (sunset meal to break fast) to those who are fasting.
- It is also highly recommended to give Zakat (obligatory tax/donation – 2.5% of wealth/savings/assets) and Sadaqah (voluntary charity) in the Ramadaan.
- It is said in an authentic Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that fasting in the Ramadan sincerely out of faith and in the hope of reward, we will be forgiven all our previous sins, provided the major sins are not committed.
Ramadan in the Quran
The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey – then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.
[Quran 2:185]
Indeed, We sent the Qur’an down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
[Quran 97:1-5]

Alhamdulillah… its a boon (Ne’math) of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta Aala that we are using net and getting lot of info on finger tips. thanks to all the brothers out there who take pains and upload/host Islamic contents. or else just imagine the olden days when people used to travel kilometres to learn a single Hadith… so we should thank Allah more and more for his bounties……. especially in this month when the reward is multiplied 70 times…

Alahamdullilah
MERCIFUL ALLAH IS GREAT.
I wish that muslims know much more, each other from different countries. In this new world that every body from each country is connected to another person with the aim of money, education, entertainment, …. . Muslims are very unheard with eachother and dont have any connection between themselves from diverse nations. I am very confused about this that they dont even try it… our connections can be very constructive for ourselves and our nations. It is very interesting for me, as a muslim from Iran, to know the other muslims think to what, how lives, how judges about Quran,…. I guess it is more interesting to know ourselves than advertise Islam for nonmuslims.
Masha Allah . jazakum llahu khairan.
we thank Allah who opens the gate of Jannat nd close the gate of. jahhanam(the Hellfire)nd chains the sheytan..
……
masha Allah
O ALLAH PREVENT US FROM WHAT IS HARAM AND TO KEEP OUR PRIVATE PART CHEST
