Ramadan is upon us...
Fasting the month of Ramadan is an obligation and a great worship.
It is among the best acts of obedience and greatest deeds, and one for which there is great reward.
The prophet said which means:
he reward of every good deed is multiplied ten up
to seven-hundred times, except that of the Fasting; it is
usually done in sincerity and will be multiplied by as many
times as Allah wills.
One of the doors of Paradise, named ar-Rayyan, is specified for
those Muslims who used to fast in this world.
On the Day of Judgment, it will be opened, and those who used to
fast in obedience to Allah would be called to enter through that door.
Then it would be closed and no others will enter through it.
The month of Ramadan is the ninth month of the lunar year.
It is the best month of the year, as is the night of al-Qadr in
Ramadan the best night of the year.
Fasting became an obligation on the Muslims in the second year
after the emigration.
Prophet Muhammed fasted nine years of Ramadan after which he died.
