"The Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) used to spend a lot in the way of Allah in Ramadan. He used to open his hands in generosity and used to do Sadqa and Khairaat with open heart. Hence it is necessary that we should not only depend upon physical prayer rituals but also try to spend more and more in the way of Allah"
It is mentioned in the hadith that the month of Ramadan is the heart of the entire year.If this remains well then the entire year will remain well.It is due to this reason that Imam-e-Rabbani, Hazrat Mujadad Alif Sani Rehmat Ullah Elaih mentioned in his books that the amount of blessings and barakh which come down in the month of Ramadan is so great that their comparision with the amount of blessings of the remaining year is similar to the comparision between a drop of water and the ocean.
The importance of a person who fasts:
The blessingns of this month are so much that when a person keeps fast in this month, then for the forgiveness of that believer, the birds in the skies, the ants in the antholes and the fish in the water pray, and when the person who fasts prays for his wishes to be fulfilled by Allah , then the angels of Allah say Labbaik and Ameen on his prayers.This is such a month of blessings that the persons who benefit from its every moment become the friends of Allah (Wali and Abdaal) and if we are able to take benefit from the blessings of this month, then we will be able to get closeness of Allah.
The special importance of keeping fast:
The benefit of keeping fast is received only when the person is completely keeping fast.It is for this reason that it is mentioned in the Hadith that the Prophet (SAW) said that "Some fasters are such that they do not gain any benefit except staying hungry and thristy all day."Why? because they kept fast but they backbited each other, told lies, they did fraud with other people, they did fast, but they did not care for the rights of other people.When do do such things then the benefit of fasting ended.
The cheque book of good deeds:
You can consider the example of the month of Ramadan in such a way that it is like a cheque book of a bank. It is as if Allah has given us thirty blank cheques and said that you can write as much amount in it as you like. It will be collected for your Heareafter. There are some people who did not write anything on those cheques and sent them empty and these days got wasted. There are many who will write lacs of amounts, some will write millions and some will write billions everyone will write according to their fate and according to their choice.
Spending in the path of Allah:
The Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) used to spend a lot in the way of Allah in Ramadan.He used to open his hands in generosity and used to do Sadqa and Khairaat with open heart.Hence it is necessary that we should not only depend upon physical prayer rituals but also try to spend more and more in the way of Allah so that in our bank account in the HereAfter we can also collect as many good deeds as possible.For "Life long investment" there are mosques and religious madaris , the amount spent on which will be written in our book of deeds."
SOME NAFAL PRAYERS OF TAHAJUD:
Whoever performs the nafal prayer of tahajud in the month of Ramadan will be considered among the pious people of Allah.No buzurg can become a buzurg without reciting the tahajud prayer.
The acceptance of Prayer at the time of Iftar:
The time if Iftar is like the time when a worker gets his wages. It is for this reason that at this time, special prayers should be done so that our worries are alleviated and we can live a life of satisfaction and peace. At the same time , normally , Satan makes us busy in worldly things so that we can become oblivious of praying for our wishes at the time of getting our wages and miss this chance. Hence we should consider this time to be precious and of utmost importance and we should put our full effort in praying for our wishes because it is mentioned in the hadith that prayer is the brain of the rituals and hence we should try that we spend the last 10 to 15 minutes praying for our wishes to be fulfilled with utmost dedication and sincerity and get forgiveness written for us.
There are many people who ask Allah for this world, and who ask for wife and children but there are few people who ask Allah for Allah Himself.
TIMES OF THE FULFILLMENT OF WISHES
Hazrat Abu Saeed Khidri ( رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہٗ ) narrates that in every day of Ramadan , Allah releases the people of the Hell fire from hell every morning and every evening.In every day of Ramadan, and every night Allah fulfils some wish or another of the momin and so it depends upon us that how much we ask from Allah.The signs of the fulfilment of prayers and wishes have been given and the person who asks for something has always complained of his pockets to be small but the treasures of the giver are very large.
