I'm going to bring
you some quotes from different Imams and important people in Islam about the
month of Ramadan.
Our 8th Imam, Imam
Redha (peace be upon him) has said: If they asks, "Why is it that the
fasts were made obligatory extensively in the month of Ramadhan and not in the
other months?" it should be said, "Because the month of Ramadan is
the month in which Allah, The Exalted, had revealed the Qur’an."
In this very special
and holy month, Allah brought down to us the Quran, which was revealed as a
whole book on Laylat Ul Qadr. There is also another hadith by Imam Redha
saying: One, who recites one verse from the Book of Allah (Quran), The Mighty
The Glorious, in the month of Ramadhan, is like one, who has recited the entire
Qur’an in the other months.
The Holy Prophet
(peace be upon him) said: Surely, the month of Ramadan is a great month. Allah,
multiplies in it the good deeds, erases in it the sins and elevates in it the
ranks.
It is said that
during this month, the doors of hell are shut and the doors of heaven are wide
open.
The Holy Prophet
(peace be upon him and his progeny) said:
The month of Ramadhan is the month whose fasts Allah, The Mighty, The
Glorious, has made obligatory upon you. So one, who fasts in this month in a
state of belief and with the intention of recompense, shall become free of his
sins just as he was on the day when his mother gave him birth.
We should all take
advantage of this month of Ramadan by making sure we are doing as much good
deeds as we can and refraining from doing any bad deeds because our souls are
refreshed and free of any of our previous sins.
Imam Baqir (peace be
upon him) has said: Surely, the Fridays of the month of Ramadhan possess an
excellence over the Fridays of the other months, just as the Holy Prophet
(peace be upon him and his progeny) possesses an excellence over the other
prophets.
Hopefully throughout
this holy month of Ramadan, you will contribute to doing many good deeds as
possible and help others as much as you can.
I will try to post as
regularly as possible so make sure you are following me to receive updates.
