Allah has made fasting obligatory and prayers at night commendable during this month. Whosoever will do a voluntary good deed during this month, it is as if he performed an obligatory good deed at another time and whosoever will perform an obligatory good deed, it is as if he performed seventy obligatory good deeds at another time. This is the month of patience and the reward of patience is Paradise. This is the month of kindness. In this month the believer’s provision is increased. Whosoever will give food to a fasting person in this month, it will bring forgiveness for his sins, will save him from the Hellfire and he shall have his reward while the fasting person will not lose any of his reward.” (As-Suyuti, Ad-Durr al-Manthur) Bismillah-ir Rahman-ir Raheem In the name of Allah the most Kind the most Merciful T +44 (0) 20 7377 4200 W www.muslimaid.org E mail@muslimaid.org P PO Box 3, London E1 1WP Contact us The blessed month of Ramadan 05 04 Fasting Fasting is one of the greatest blessings Allah has bestowed on us, and carried out with the intention of gaining His pleasure makes it an act of worship, where it has the potential to make us be constantly aware of Him. If a person refrains from eating and drinking without having the intention to worship Allah, then they aren’t gaining the full reward of fasting. It also confirms our belief in and love for the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) as we fast according to the manner in which he fasted. On the aspect of personal development, fasting also helps bring out the best in our manners, with Ramadan often being cited as the “month of patience” both for our perseverance in this month and in our preparation for the Hereafter. Ibn Abbas (RA), one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) narrated: “The Prophet (Peace be upon him) was the most generous amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan when Jib’reel visited him, and Jib’reel used to meet him on every night of Ramadan till the end of the month. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) used to recite the Holy Qur’an to Jib’reel, and when Jib’reel met him, he used to be more generous than a fast wind (which causes rain and welfare).” (Reported by Al-Bukhari). With millions of people living in poverty across the world it is more important than ever to reassess and strengthen our solidarity. Increase in the reading of Qur’an What better time to re-establish your relationship with the Qur’an than in the month when it was revealed? Abdullah ibn Amr (RA) reported that the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: “The fast and the Qur’an are two intercessors for the servant of Allah on the Day of Resurrection. The fast will say: ‘O Lord I prevented him from his food and desires during the day. Let me intercede for him.’ The Qur’an will say ‘I prevented him from sleeping at night. Let me intercede for him.’ And their intercession will be accepted.” (Ahmad). Acceptance of Dua Ramadan holds the promise of the acceptance of duas to a much greater degree than at any other time of the year. Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: “There are three people whose supplications are not rejected: the fasting person when he breaks his fast, the just ruler and the supplication of the oppressed” (Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Ibn Hibban). Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun kareemun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘annee “O Allah, You are the best forgiver, beneficient and merciful. You love forgiveness so forgive me.” (at-Tirmidhi). 020 7377 4200 or donate online at Call us on dua_acceptance of dua_acceptance of dua Important Sunnah in Ramadan • Making time to eat Suhoor before fasting • To end the fast immediately after sunset • To perform Taraweeh Salaat • To feed the hungry • To increase in the reading of the Qur’an • To observe Itikaf (in the masjid for men and women if possible) during the last 10 days of Ramadan Intention for keeping the fast Wa bisawmi ghadin nawaytu min shahri ramadaan. “I intend to keep the fast tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.” Dua for breaking the fast Allahumma laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa ‘alayka tawakaltu wa ‘alaa rizqika aftartu. “O Allah!

O Allah, if You know that this matter (then mention the thing to be decided) is good for me in my religion and in my life and for my welfare in the life to come, then ordain it for me and make it easy for me, then bless me in it. And if You know that this matter (then mention the thing to be decided) is bad for me in my religion and in my life and for my welfare in the life to come, then distance it from me, and distance me from it, and ordain for me what is good wherever it may be, and help me to be content with it. 09 08 My goals for Ramadan The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, “My Ummah has been given five things in regards to Ramadan which has not been given to any other Ummah before them. (One is) that the odour of the mouth of the fasting person is more fragrant, to The Almighty, than musk. (The second is) that the angels continuously seek forgiveness on their behalf until they end their fast. (The third is) that The Almighty and Magnificent, everyday adorns his Heaven and then says (to it), ‘The time is near when my pious servants shall be freed from difficulties and (meagre) provisions, and they will come to You’. (The fourth is) that the shayaateen will be shackled and restrained from performing the mischief that they can perform outside Ramadan. (The fifth is) that they (the fasting) will be forgiven in the last night of Ramadan” (Ahmad). Jot down all the things you’re aiming to do this Ramadan, however small. Having them in front of you everyday will remind you just how important they are in achieving your ultimate goal of bringing you closer to Allah.
