Generosity In Ramadhan



Assalamu’alaikum !


Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) narrates that

“The Messenger of Allah (saw) was the most generous person, and he used to be most generous in Ramadan…”

[Al Bukhari]

Imam Ash-Shaafi’e (May Allah have mercy upon him), once said,

‘It is beloved to me to see one increasing his acts of generosity during the month of Ramadhan, following the example of Allah’s Messenger, and for one’s own good. There are many who become over-occupied with fasting and Prayers, forgetting the other benefits of the month of Ramadhan [i.e. forgetting about the benefits and rewards for being generous towards others].’
[Lataa'if-ul Maaarif]

Night Prayers In Ramadhan


Assalamu’alaikum !


Narrated Abu Hurairah:

I heard Allah’s Apostle saying regarding Ramadan,

“Whoever prayed at night in it (the month of Ramadan) out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven.”

[Sahih Al Bukhari]
