Since it is the blessed month of Ramadaan, I would like to share with you a Hadith (saying) of our Beloved Prophet Muhammed S.A.W. regarding the month of Ramadaan. It is filled with advice and

Salmaan R.A. (one of the companions of The Holy Prophet S.A.W) reports that on the last day of the month of Shabaan The Prophet S.A.W. turned toward us and said
"O people, there comes over you now a great month, a most blessed month in which lies a night more greater in virtue than a thousand months. It is a month in which Allah has made fasting compulsory by day. And has made sunnah the Taraweeh (long obligatory prayer in the evening) by night.

Whosoever intends drawing near to Allah by performing any virtuous deed, for such a person shall be the reward like the one who performed a fardh in any other time. And whosoever performs a fardh, shall be blessed with the reward of seventy faraa-idh in any other time.

This is indeed the month of patience, and the reward of patience is Jannah (paradise). It is the month of sympathy with one's fellowmen. It is the month wherein a true believer's rizq is increased.

Whosoever feeds another who fasted, in order to break the fast (at sunset), for the feeder shall be forgiveness of sins and and emancipation from the fire of Jahannum. And for such feeder shall be the same reward as the one who fasted without that persons reward being decreased in the least."

The Companions then asked The Prophet S.A.W. "O messenger of Allah, not all of us possess the means whereby we can give a fasting person to break his fast."

The Prophet S.A.W. replied "Allah grants the same reward to the one who gives a fasting person a drink of water or a sip of milk.

This is a month, the first of which brings Allah's mercy, the middle of which brings His forgiveness and the last of which brings emancipation from the fire of Hell.

Whosoever lessens the burden of his servants in this month, Allah will forgive him and free him from the fire of Hell.

And in this month four things you should continue to perform in great number, two of which shall be to please your Lord, while the other two shall be those without which you cannot do. Those which shall be to please your Lord, are that you should in great quantity bear witness that there is no deity to worship except Allah (recite the Kalima - declaration of faith) and make much Istighfaar (seek Allah's forgiveness with Istighfaar)

And as for those without which you cannot do, you should beg of Allah, entrance into Paradise and ask refuge in Him from Jahannum.

And whosoever shall give a person who has fasted water to drink, Allah shall grant that giver to drink from My fountain, such a drink whereafter that person shall never again feel thirsty until he enters Jannah."
