Why is

Ramadan

special?

9

Ramadan is the month

that the Quraan was first

revealed….

The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'ân, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the Criterion (between right and

wrong).(2:185)……

10

Ramadan is also special

because the gates of Hell

are locked and the devils

are chained.

Abu Hurayrah reported Allah’s Messenger (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: “When there comes the month of Ramadan, the gates of mercy are opened, and the gates of Hell are locked and

the devils are chained

(Saheeh Muslim, #2361)

11

and Ramadan is special

because we fast during

this month and receive

many blessings,

insha Allah

So, whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan, i.e. is present at home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month

(2:185)

12

What is

Fasting?

13

Many people think

That fasting is staying away

from food and drink from Fajr

to Maghrib…..

14

This is true,

but………..

15

Fasting also means to stay

away from bad speech

and bad actions such as

lying, backbiting and

cursing.

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “If one does not abandon falsehood and other actions like it, Allah has no need that one abandon one’s food and drink

(Saheeh Bukhari)
