| [color=teal] The Sermon Given By The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) On The Last Friday Of Sha'ban On The Reception Of The Month of Ramadhan "Indeed ahead of you is the blessed month of Allah. A month of blessing, mercy and forgiveness. A month which with Allah is the best of months. Its days, the best of days, its nights, the best of nights, and its hours, the best of hours. It is the month, which invites you to be the guests of Allah and invites you to be one of those near to Him. Each breath you take glorifies him; your sleep is worship, your deeds are accepted and your supplications are answered. So, ask Allah, your Lord; to give you a sound body and an enlightened heart so you may be able to fast and recite his book, for only he is unhappy who is devoid of Allah's forgiveness during this great month." "Remember the hunger and thirst of the day of Qiyamah (Judgement) with your hunger and thirst; give alms to the needy and poor, honor your old, show kindness to the young ones, maintain relations with your blood relations; guard your tongues, close your eyes to that which is not permissible for your sight, close your ears to that which is forbidden to hear, show compassion to the orphans of people so compassion may be shown to your orphans. Repent to Allah for your sins and raise your hands in dua during these times, for they are the best of times and Allah looks towards his creatures with kindness, replying to them during the hours and granting their needs if he is asked.." "O People! Indeed your souls are dependent on your deeds, free it with Istighfar (repentance) lighten its loads by long prostrations; and know that Allah swears by his might: That there is no punishment for the one who prays and prostrates and he shall have no fear of the fire on the day when man stands before the Lord of the worlds." "O People! One who gives Iftaar to a fasting person during this month will be like one who has freed someone and his past sins will be forgiven. Some of the people who were there then asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Not all of us are able to invite those who are fasting?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Allah gives this reward even if the Iftaar (meal) is a drink of water." "One who has good morals (Akhlaq) during this month will be able to pass the 'Siraat'...on the day that feet will slip.. One who covers the faults of others will benefit in that Allah will curb His anger on the day of Judgement... As for one who honors an orphan; Allah will honor him on the day of judgement, And for the one who spreads his kindness, Allah will spread His mercy over him on the day of Judgement. "As for the one who cuts the ties of relation; Allah will cut His mercy from him... " "Who so ever performs a recommended prayer in this month Allah will keep the fire of Hell away from him... Whoever performs an obligator prayer Allah will reward him with seventy prayers [worth] in this month. And who so ever prays a lot during this month will have his load lightened on the day of measure. He who recites one verse of the holy Quran will be given the rewards of reciting the whole Qur'an during other months. "O People! Indeed during this month the doors of heaven are open, therefore ask Allah not to close them for you; the doors of hell are closed, so ask Allah to keep them closed for you. During this month Shaytan (Satan) is imprisoned so ask your Lord not to let him have power over you." ~*~~~~*~~~*~*~~~~*~~~*~*~~~~*~~~*~*~~~~*~~~*~*~~~~*~~~* [/color][color=purple] Some Hadiths About Ramadan: "Fasting is not [only] abstaining from eating and drinking, but abstaining from vain and obscene talk, so if someone insulted you or wronged you say: I am fasting." (Related by al-Hakim) "Whoever does not abandon lying, then Allah does not need him to abandon his food and drink." (Related by al-Bukhari). "Whoever performed the night prayer during Ramadhan out of belief and anticipating God's rewards, will be forgiven his previous sins."(Related by Muslim). "Whoever feeds a fasting person has the same reward as him, except that the reward of the fasting person will not be diminished." (Related by Ahmad). "Fasting and [reading] Qur'an will intercede for the person: fasting will say: O Lord I forbade him eating and drinking so let me intercede for him, and the Qur'an will say: I deprived him from his night sleep so let me intercede for him," he then said: "So they will intercede." (Related by Ahmad). "The Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam was the most generous among people, and he was more generous during the month of Ramadhan." (Related by Muslim). "The Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam used to perforrn I'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadhan." (Related by Muslim). "Three invocations will be answered: The invocation of the fasting person, the invocation of the oppressed, and the invocation of the traveler." (Related by Muslim). Aysha radhiallabu anha said: "When the last ten days come, he sallallahu alayhe wa sallam would pray most of the night and wake his family, and apply himself, and tighten up his loincloth.", and she also said: "The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe wa sallam used to strive in the last days of Ramadhan more than he did during the other days." (Related by Muslim). Performing Umrah: The Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said: "An Umrah during Ramadhan is like a Hajj with me." (Related by al-Hakim). [/color] |

| As salaamu alaykum, may Allah accept all our good deed, especially in this blessed month. This is the hadeeth of Salmaan Al-Farsee which can be found in Saheeh Ibn Khuzaymah under the chapter heading: "The merits of Ramadan; if the narration is true." That is, he himself is alluding to the fact that the hadeeth might be weak, and so it is. Hence Abu Haatim Ar-Raazee stated in his book 'Ilal al-Hadeeth" classified this hadeeth to be 'munkar' (denounced). (Vol. 1. Pg. 249) And more recently shaikh Al-Albani gave the some ruling on the hadeeth (i.e. munkar) in his collection of weak and frabricated hadeeth (Vol. 2. Pg 262). Furthermore, the text of the hadeeth itself containings certain things that are unsubstantiated (like the reward for reading the Quran and making salah). So in conclusion as the scholars of hadeeth have always stated: "The authentic hadeeth suffices us from resorting to the weak ones." assing |
