Fasting has great reward. This is indeed a great promise. When Allah (SWT) rewards an action as purely His, then the reward is limitless. We have only to remember that Allah’s generosity knows no boundaries. It is for this reason that Muslims prepare themselves for the advent of Ramadhan with the resolve to make all their worship, fasting and prayers especially (Tarawieeh).
The Prophet also teaches us that there is another side to the reward which fasting earns. He tells us that certain actions like prayers and charity (sadaqah) or Zakah ensure the forgiveness of past sins. We are told by the Prophet (PBUH) that proper fasting, done with sincerity and dedication, ensures the forgiveness of all sins committed in the preceding year, with the exception of cardinal sins. The Prophet (PBUH) says:“He who fasts in Ramadan motivated by his faith and with dedication will have all his past sins forgiven.” (Related by Al-Bukhari).
Since Ramadhan is such an important month in the muslim calendar we all must prepare for it before hand. Ehtamam e Ramadhan is a beautiful lecture that helps you prepare for this blessed month.
We Muslim should apply ourselves to deepen our sense of following the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) in every aspect of our life, at all times and especially during the month of Ramadhan. Each Ramadhan the Prophet (PBUH) used to recite the whole Qur'an to Angel Jibreel (AS). Muslims all over the world organize special Ramadhan programs in accordance to the Prophet's Sunnah .
Bayan ul Qur'an is a Dora e Qur'an for those who cannot attend a live session somewhere. So we at Al-Ilm have arranged for you to listen to one session daily and adopt that Sunnah.
When we consider such limitless reward and such moral value which are attached to fasting, who would want to fail to fast unless he lacks faith.
According to Sahl Ibnu Sa’d (RA.), the Prophet (PBUH) said :“Verily in heaven there is a door named ‘al-Rayyan’ through which only those who fast shall pass. It (the door) asks: Where are those who fasted? And they enter the doorway and after all who fasted have passed, the doorway closes and no one else shall pass though it.” (Recorded by Muslim)
