@Hadithoftheday No.
Fasting is for Allah and he shall reward for it.
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah R.A: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Allah said: ‘Every deed of the son of Adam is for him except fasting; it is for Me and I shall reward for it…’” (Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)
@Hadithoftheday No one can see when a person is fasting except Allah, so Allah connected it to Himself.
Hence Allah says, “He gives up his desire for My sake.”.
All acts of worship can be seen when done, and they may be contaminated with some element of showing off, unlike fasting.
@Hadithoftheday Allah is the only One who knows the extent of reward & how much good deeds of a person will be multiplied
The amount of reward for good deeds may become known to people & they will be rewarded between ten & 700 fold except fasting, for Allah will reward it without measure
@Hadithoftheday Encouraged to break the fast as soon as Maghrib arrives.
Narrated from Sahl ibn Sa’d R.A, that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “The people will continue to do well so long as they hasten to break the fast.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
@Hadithoftheday Aisha R.A was asked about a man among the companions of Muhammad ﷺ – ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood – who hastened to pray Maghrib and break the fast. She said: This is what the Messenger of Allah used to do. (Muslim)
The Prophet ﷺ said: Religion will continue to prevail as long as people hasten to break the fast, because the Jews and the delay Christians doing so. - (Abu Dawood 2353)
@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.
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)
