Our Capacity to Gather Blessings

Why is Ramadan sooo Special?????

Shaitan’s on vacation "When the month of ramadan enters, the doors of the heavens are opened up, the doors of jahannam are closed, and the shayatin are chained” Imam Bukari and Muslim

Every action a son of Adam does shall be multiplied—a good action by ten times its value, up to 700 times. Allah says: With the exception of fasting, which belongs to Me, and I reward it accordingly. For, one abandons his desire and food for My sake. Al-Bukhari Increased rewards

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَـٰتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۗيُرِيدُ ٱللَّـهُ بِكُمُ ٱلْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ ٱلْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا۟ ٱلْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّـهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful. The month of Quran (Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #185)

Guidance for All Mankind ٱلْقُرْءَانُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ clear guidance ٱلْفُرْقَانِ Difference between right & wrong

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم مَّوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَشِفَآءٌ لِّمَا فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴿٥٧﴾ قُلْ بِفَضْلِ ٱللَّـهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِۦ فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا۟ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ ﴿٥٨﴾٥٧٥٨ O mankind, there has to come to you instruction from your Lord and healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers. Say, "In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy - in that let them rejoice; it is better than what they accumulate. Al-Yunus, Chapter #10, Verse #57-58

هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ

Quran for guidance Practising it yourself Preaching it to others Taqwa

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun Purpose of Ramadan Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #183

Starting point for Prep

My Checklist n Sha’ban Mental Prep: Intention, Duas, Self-Accountability Practical Steps: Environment, Company, Make a buddy

Impact of Good Company Ibn Abbas (ra) relates that Rasulullah (saw) was always generous in doing favors to others, but in Ramadan, his generosity was immense. During Ramadan, Jibrael(AS) visited Messenger of Allah (saw) every night and Allah’s Messenger (saw) recited Quran before him. Whenever Jibrael (AS) visited him, his generosity increased tremendously. (Bukhari)
