The Blessings of Mahe Ramadhan.....
The blessings of Mahe Ramadhan are not limited to fasting alone,
because the performance of all sorts of worship and good deeds during this month is also a source of great Divine favor.
The revelation of the Holy Qur'an commenced during this very month and it is therefore, the duty of every Muslim to read and try to understand the meaning of the Holy Qur'an and thereby gain an insight into the Divine secrets enshrined therein.
It brings peace and illumination to the mind and imparts purity to the soul.
Mahe Ramadhan is the month of Fasting, Intensive Prayer, Sacrifice and Divine Worship. Throughout this month a devout Muslim fasts during the day in the true sense of the word, that is, he had merely denies himself food and water, but as explained by the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.), exercises strict control over his tongue, eyes, ears, thoughts and deeds and does everything possible to seek the pleasure of Allah.
Devout supplications to Allah (S.W.T) and repentance of one's sins during Ramadhan are the sources of Divine blessings and mercy.
Some nights, among the last ten nights of Ramadan, are called
the 'Nights of Glory' (Laylatul Qadr).
These are the 19th, 21st, and 23rd nights.
Muslims keep awake during these nights and offer special prayers. Even among these nights, the 23rd enjoys excellence over all the others. It is accompanied by great blessings, and supplications are granted to whosoever supplicates to Allah (S.W.T), The Giver.
The holy month of Ramadhan, besides being the month of worship and Divine blessings, carries a historical importance as well. As already mentioned above, the revelations of the Holy Qur'an commenced in this month. The epoch-making 'Battle of Badr' and the 'Conquest of Mecca' also took place during the holy month of Ramadhan.
~Whosoever recites only one 'Ayat' in Holy Ramadhan,
he will be awarded as if he had recited the full Qur'an, in other months.
--Holy Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W)
~Everything has a spring and the spring of the Qur'an is the Holy Month of Ramadhan.
--Imam Mohammed Baqir (A.S)
~Today (Day of feast of fast-breaking) is the feast of those whose fasts are accepted and their sorbs are favored by God, and any day in which you do not commit a sin, is the day of feast.
--Imam Ali (A.S.)
