(In the Name of Allah (SWT), Most Gracious, Most Merciful, all praise and thanks are due to Allah, Lord of the Realms and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger (SAWS) and upon all his family and companions)

In my previous post it was considered that how Muslims with little or no knowledge follow the religion of their ease and the previous post highlighted that RAMADAN – IMSAAK STOPPING SUHOOR DO’S & DON’TS OF RAMADAN (PART 5) which spotlighted the norm which society was adopting in the thought of accepting the right.

However, today we would be considering an entire new norm which has become a forest fire among people with less knowledge and awareness. It is about time that you understand and practice such instances that are known highly among our Lord, Allah (SWT) and for which rewards are bigger.

This is true when said that people are ignorant on their part when it comes to Ramadan and its blessings and this is where they consider it as a normal custom following to what their elders did, but all without the true knowledge and understanding. Do you know Ramadan is divided in three Ashrahs (phases) and after the third one it’s the festivity of Eid.

Well not many know that although Eid is festive and shall be celebrated but a little all know that before Eid we Muslims Start preparing for it thus crowded seems to be the shopping malls. But a little we know that the last phase of Ramadan is the most important phase which shall be dealt in prayers, worshipping and Quran recitation in abundance rather than wasting the precious most time in shopping.

Aa’ishah (RA) said: “When the (last) ten nights began, the Messenger of Allah (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam)) would tighten his waist-wrapper (i.e., strive hard in worship or refrain from intimacy with his wives), stay awake at night and wake his family.” (Bukhaari and Muslim).

(In the Name of Allah (SWT), Most Gracious, Most Merciful, all praise and thanks are due to Allah, Lord of the Realms and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger (SAWS) and upon all his family and companions)

This is the most special night Shab-E-Qadr – The Night Of Power blessed to the entire mankind from Allah (SWT) to nourish and attain the spiritual blessings and power in which HE has told us that there is nothing like the very night of Shab-e-Qadr and there cannot be anyone more lucky than praying in the very night of blessings, mercy and forgiveness.

This is the night in which worshipping, praying and reciting Quran is better than thousands months and this single night is capable of offering equivalent worshiping benefits of a life time. However, it is the night, The Night Of Power which you need to look out for as it remains to be one of the nights in the last phase of the fasting month Ramadan and would be anyone of the odd nights from 21^st, 23^rd, 25^th, 27^th & 29^th.

There are different thoughts for the night of power and the night for which you are to be rewarded better than any month and this is where you are to understand that there is nothing better than this night and one has to find between the last phase of Ramadan to seek forgiveness and mercy from Allah (SWT).

(In the Name of Allah (SWT), Most Gracious, Most Merciful, all praise and thanks are due to Allah, Lord of the Realms and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger (SAWS) and upon all his family and companions)

Yes, that is true whenever I am asked about RAMADAN (In Context Of Ayath) A MONTH OF GREAT IMPORTANCE there is always these thoughts starts evolving in my head of the opportunity we are provided in this month which makes it such a provision that we cannot ever repay that, but what we can do is that to pray, worship and recite Quran in abundance.

Well, we are told in clear words of ALLAH (SWT) that Ramadan is the month of Blessings, Mercy and Forgiveness. This is the month in which Quran was revealed to mankind for guidance to success, to glory, to better life herein and hereafter and the ways in which ALLAH (SWT) expects mankind to submit themselves to their Creator, complete submission.

“O believers! You prescribed the Fasting (Al- Siyam) as it was prescribed for those before you, and you achieve piety” (Surah II. 183)

“(These days are) the month of Ramadan in which the Quran was revealed to serve as a good direction to men and clear proofs of the right direction and discernment” (Surah II.185)

“And when My slaves ask you concerning Me, then (answer them); I am indeed near. I respond to the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me. So let them obey Me and believe in Me, that they may be led aright” Al-Qur’an 2:186.

“O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become” Al-Muttaqun (the pious).

“Oh you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you many learn piety and righteousness” (Qur’an, al-Baqarah, 2:183)
