Ramadan

I need to mention about the month of Ramadan since it coincidently fell on the 1st September. Today is the 23rd day of fasting or in the section of being pardon by Allah from the Hell fire and very soon the Idul fitri will surface.

Ramadan comes and go but good anticipation for it that matters most. It is in the month where good deeds that we do will be rewarded handsomely by Allah and there is one night within the month called the Laillatulqadar, the night where it is much better than one thousand months of good deeds. The word here is ‘better than’ one thousand months of good deeds being rewarded by Allah.

So in actuality Allah will be bestowing the ummah good deeds much more than one thousand months’ worth.

Allah mention in the Qur’an from verse 183:2 concerning the month. “O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off evil” And in verse185:2, “The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth ) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful”
