(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)

We are told on several occasions that for Muslims Ramadan is the blessed month in which Allah (SWT) closes the doors of Hell and open the door of Heaven while there are evils imprisoned in this month. In my last post I discussed the WOMEN IN CONTEXT OF HOLY QURAN and the Quran Online sources while on the other hand the following are Ahadith relating to the special divine month of Ramadan and its virtues.

1223. ‘A’isha said, “When the last ten days of Ramadan started, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to pray during the night, wake up his family and intensify his efforts.” [Agreed upon]

219. Chapter: On the prohibition against fasting before Ramadan after the middle of Sha’ban unless that fasting is connected to what is before it and coincides with his habit, like fasting Monday and Thursday

1224. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “None of you should fast a day or two before Ramadan except for a man who customarily fasts. He should fast that day.” [Agreed upon]
