لو پھر آیا ماہ انقلاب و رحمت۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

آمد ماہ صیام مبارک ھو ۔ الہہ کریم اس کے فیوضات و برکات سے استفادہ کرنے کی توفیق عطا فرماے؛ آمین

O YOU who have attained to faith! Fasting is ordained for you as it was ordained for those before you, so that you might remain conscious of Allah: {Fasting} during a certain number of days. But whoever of you is ill, or on a journey, [shall fast instead for the same] number of other days; and (in such cases) it is incumbent upon those who can afford it to make sacrifice by feeding a needy person. And whoever does more good than he is bound to do, does good unto himself thereby; for to fast is to do good unto yourselves - if you but knew it. AL-BAQRA (2) : 183-184.

Fortunate are those who will find the month of Ramadan and fast/pray with utmost devotion and sincerity. Hazrat Abu Huraira R A narrated a Hadith from Rasool Ullah Salalho Allihe Wasalam regarding the superiority of Fasting and the Rewards therein.

By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell coming from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of Musk. Allah Says 'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The fast is for Me and I will give reward for it and the reward of good deeds is ten times'. Rasool Ullah Salalho Allihe Wasalam said 'Fasting is a shield and the person observing fast should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him he should tell him "I am Fasting". Bukhari and Muslim.

Some other important Ahaadith are:-

Patience is half Eemaan and Fast is half patience.

Every good deed of people can go waste due to their transgression except the reward of fasting.

Fast is for Allah and its reward is unchangeable.

The one who with faith and sincerity -  observes fast his all sins will be forgiven.

When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the Devils are chained.

There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Raiyan, and only those who observe fast will enter through it on the Day Of Resurrection.

Every living thing requires food for health, nourishment and endurance. Our bodies are as old as our age and we endeavor rigorously to feed these bodies for their upkeep. Our Souls may be millions of years old as they were around before the 'Day of Alast' yet most of us are highly indifferent towards their food and health. All types of  Prayers and Fasting in particular are the Tonics for our Souls. Hazrat Ali Hajveri RA wrote in Kashaful Mahjoob that 'To remain hungry is the Allah's food for the Souls'. He also advised the believers that:-

Keep your stomachs empty.

Remain thirsty.

No make ups and precious dresses for your bodies.

You will be able to see the "ANWAAR-O-TAJJILIAT" (Blessings and Signs) of Allah in this world. And during Ramadan fast in such a manner that it is the fast of every muscle and organ of your bodies.

Hazrat Ali Hajveri RA writes that Rasool Ullah Salalho Allihe Wasalam came in my dream and I requested him for an advice. Rasool Ullah Salalho Allihe Wasalam said "Keep Your Senses under your control all the time". Keeping senses under control means to refrain from sins and vices all the time and under all circumstances. FASTING KEEPS US AWAY FROM ALL SINS AND VICES, PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL.
 
As per Hadith, Allah Karim showers His Blessings on those who Fast, and those who receive His Blessings will not endure any punishment in the hereafter.

In Ramadan every night the universe reverberates with:-

Any needy whose needs be met?

Any one who wants to repent  so that he be forgiven?

Any one desiring Paradise so that his wish is met?

There is one night in Ramadan which is better than one thousand nights and that is Lylatul Qadar which falls on any of the odd nights of last ten days of Ramadan with a preponderance of opinion towards 27th. It is a special night with special rewards for the devotees. All supplications are granted except:-

Habitual Boozers.

Disobeying Children

Relation Breakers

Those who hate others and keep grudges.

Allah Karim Grant us strength and fortitude to observe the fasts of Ramadan in a manner taught to us by  Rasool Ullah Salalho Allihe Wasalam and as is liked by You. Aameen
