Ramadhaan...
Allah , The Most Wise says:
"Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may attain taqwaa" [Quran-2:183]
The Messenger of Allah Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said one day when Ramadhaan had drawn near;
"The month of Ramadhan, the month of blessings has come to you, wherein Allah turns towards you and sends down to you His special Mercy, forgives your faults, accepts prayers, appreciates your competition for the greatest, good and boasts to the angels about you. So, show to Allah your righteousness; for verily, the most pitiable and unfortunate one is he who is deprived of Allah's Mercy in this month." [Hadith-Narrated by Tabarani]
