@Hadithoftheday Gates of Hell (Hellfire) .
Abu Hurairah R.A reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When the month of Ramadan begins, the gates of the heaven are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained.”
Bukhārī 1899, Muslim 1079
@Hadithoftheday Closing the gates of hell means that the Allah is eager and ready to forgive every sin committed by anyone if sincere repentance is sought. The month invites us to self-evaluation and identifying weaknesses in character followed by actions to better ourselves
@Hadithoftheday In other words, forgiveness is the divine offering for this month. However, one must realize that repentance and forgiveness has to be done in a manner that is genuine. It means a person is conscious of wrong actions and is willing to change the life style and never to repeat it.
@Hadithoftheday Allah says in the Quran "Except those who repent, make amends, and declare the truth. I will certainly accept their repentance: I am the Ever Relenting, the Most Merciful. (2:160)
@Hadithoftheday Fasting is a shield from Hell Fire.
Jabir R.A reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Verily, fasting is only a shield by which the servant seeks protection from the Hellfire.” (Musnad Aḥmad)

Gates of Paradise (heaven).
Abu Hurairah R.A reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When the month of Ramadan begins, the gates of the heaven are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained.”
(Bukhārī , Muslim)
@Hadithoftheday Chaining the devils means that Allah makes it easier in this month for people to control their behavior in the wake of all temptations, physical, social and spiritual. +
@Hadithoftheday Thus an individual would ensure that he or she doesn't commit any act that would either defy the divine mercy of Allah.
Thus each believing person has to have personal battle with one's own ego, the biggest satanic whisper that sits in the each one of us
Ramadan ❤:
Ramadan marks the Ninth Month of Islamic/Lunar calender.
Ramadan is the month of fasting, abstinence and reflection.
Fasting during the holy month of Ramadan is more than simply avoiding food.
Fasting in Ramadan is the practice of discipline and the abstaining of temptations and bad habits.
From sunrise to sunset, able Muslims are asked to shun food and drink (including water), avoid sexual activities, smoking and intoxication and any sort of impure thoughts.
The Month of Ramadan is an incredibly auspicious month in which the initial verses of the Holy Quran were bestowed upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as a guidance for all mankind.
This happened during the final 10 nights of this month,which is why Laylat-ul-Qadr holds so much significance
@Hadithoftheday Gates of Paradise (heaven).
Abu Hurairah R.A reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When the month of Ramadan begins, the gates of the heaven are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained.”
(Bukhārī, Muslim)
@Hadithoftheday One of the bounties that Allah has bestowed upon this ummah is that He opens all the gates of Paradise during the month of Ramadaan, not just one gate.
What an honour for Muslims.
@Hadithoftheday There is also a gate in paradise called as "Rayaan" through which only the fasting person can enter
Narrated Sahl ibn Sa’d R.A:
The Prophet ﷺ said: “In Paradise there are eight gates, among which is a gate called al-Rayyaan, which none will enter but those who fast.”(Bukhaari)
@Hadithoftheday Battle of Badr.
Battle of Badr took place in 17th of Ramadan, two years after Prophet Muhammad ﷺ migrated to Madina.
Only 313 Muslims fought in Badr while disbelievers were 950-1000 in number.
14 companions were martyred and over 70 disbelievers were killed in battle of badr
@Hadithoftheday Angels helped the Muslims to achieve victory over disbelievers.
Allah says in Qur'an:
Indeed Allah assisted you at Badr when you were weak, so be careful (to your duty) to Allah so that you may be of the thankful ones. (3:123)
@Hadithoftheday In the thick of the battle, the Prophet ﷺ prayed to Allah, And Allah sent Angels to help Muslims in Badr.
In Surat Al-Anfal Allah says:
“When you asked for help from your Lord, He answered you. Indeed I will aid you with a thousand of the angels in rows behind rows.” (Quran,8:9)
@Hadithoftheday True
Conquest of Makkah took place in 8th year of Hijrah (migration of Muslims from Makkah to Madina) during the month of Ramadan
The conquest of Makkah is the day of the greatest conquest.
It is the day when Muslims entered Makkah from all corners in the 8th year of Hijrah
@Hadithoftheday Conquest of Makkah was the greatest events in the history of Islam.
Many non Muslims (before conquest of Makkah) embraced Islam at the time of conquest of Makkah.
Hind bint utbah, Abu Sufyan, Ikrima bin Abu jahl, etc
@Hadithoftheday In Ramadan 8 AH, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ alongwith his 10,000 companions, which was the largest Muslim force ever assembled as of that time, went on their journey to Makkah.
Once the Muslims had achieved Makkah, the pioneers of Quraysh surrendered.
Allah says in Qur'an:
“So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan), he must observe Sawm (fasts) that month”
[al-Baqarah 2:185]
@Hadithoftheday Allah says in Qur'an:
“They ask you (O Muhammad) about the new moons. Say: These are signs to mark fixed periods of time for mankind and for the pilgrimage”
[al-Baqarah 2:189]
@Hadithoftheday It is obligatory to fast when the sighting of the moon is confirmed, even if it is seen by only one trustworthy Muslim.
Ibn Umar said: “The people went out to sight the new moon and I told the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I had seen it, so he fasted and told the people to fast.”
