Allah's Messenger (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam),
"O Messenger of Allah!
(sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam),
If I knew which night is Laylat ul-Qadr,
what should I say during it?"
Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam)
advised her to recite:
"Allahumma innaka `afuwwun
tuh.ibbul `afwa
fa`fu `annee "
O Allah! You are forgiving,
and you love forgiveness. So forgive me.

Search for Lailat-ul-Qadr in last 10 nights of Ramadan
`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)
used to seclude himself (in the mosque)
during the last ten nights of Ramadan.
He (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) would say,
"Search for Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree)
in the last ten nights of Ramadan.''

Ibn `Abbas Radi'Allahu anhu reported;
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) was
the most generous of the men;
and he (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) was
the most generous during the month of Ramadan
when Jibril visited him every night
and recited the Qur'an to him.
During this period, the generosity of Messenger of Allah
(Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)
waxed faster than the rain bearing wind.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith induces us to do two good things frequently
and with full preparation in the month of Ramadan.
First, benevolence and generosity
so that people get maximum time for worship
and reduce their mundane affairs during this month.
Second, recitation of the Qur'an and Mudarsah,
(reading and hearing the Qur'an from one another)
as is done by two Huffaz in this manner.
The reason for the stress on the Qur'an is that
The Qur'an and the month of Ramadan are
closely linked with each other.
The Qur'an was revealed in this month.
Sulaiman ibn `Amr Radi'Allahu anhu reported
that the Prophet, Sall-Allaahu alayhi wa sallam, said,
"If anyone of you is fasting,
he should break his fast with dates.
If dates are not available,
then with water, for water is purifying."
[Ahmad and At-Tirmithi]

Hadith: A Night Better Than a Thousand Months
"Once when Ramadhan began,
the Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam) said:
"A month has verily come upon you,
wherein lies a night better than a thousand months.
Whoever misses such a night has indeed been deprived
of all that is good and none is deprived of it,
except he who is really unfortunate."
{ Ibn-Majah }
the Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam) said:
"A month has verily come upon you,
wherein lies a night better than a thousand months.
Whoever misses such a night has indeed been deprived
of all that is good and none is deprived of it,
except he who is really unfortunate."
{ Ibn-Majah }
Hadith: 3 Persons Whose Dua is Not Rejected
Abu Hurairah (Radiallaho Anho) reports,
Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam) said:
"There are three persons whose Dua is not rejected,
The fasting person until he breaks the fast,
the just ruler and the oppressed person,
whose Dua Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) lifts above
the clouds and opens unto it the doors of Jannah
and Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) says,
'I swear by my honor, verily , I shall assist you,
even though it may be after sometime.' "
Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam) said:
"There are three persons whose Dua is not rejected,
The fasting person until he breaks the fast,
the just ruler and the oppressed person,
whose Dua Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) lifts above
the clouds and opens unto it the doors of Jannah
and Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) says,
'I swear by my honor, verily , I shall assist you,
even though it may be after sometime.' "
{ Ahmed }
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani (RadhiAllaho anho) reported:
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,
"He who provides a fasting person something
with which to break his fast,
will earn the same reward
as the one who was observing the fast,
without diminishing in any way the reward of the latter.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Abu Hurairah (Radi-Allahu Anhu) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (Sall-Allahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,
"When any one of you is observing fast on a day,
he should neither indulge in obscene language
nor should he raise the voice;
and if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him
he should say, 'I am observing fast.'"
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already been mentioned
and is repeated here for its being relevant to this chapter.
We learn from it that during the fasting not only food,
drink and sex are prohibited but the improper use of the tongue
and the other organs of the body as well. When one is observing fast,
he should neither use abusive language nor talk foolishly
nor tell lies nor make obscene conversation
nor indulge in backbiting nor quarrel with anyone.
If someone provokes him, he should keep himself quiet
and remember that he is observing fast
and he has to abstain from such things.
As far as possible, he should keep his tongue
engaged in the remembrance of Allah
and recitation of the Qur'an.
The Messenger of Allah (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said:
"Say:'I believe in Allah' SWT and then be steadfast (on that)."
[Sahih Muslim]
Do not be of those who abandoned sinning
for the sake of Ramadan, and not out of fear for Allah!
Those who do not know Allah except in Ramadan.
The enthusiasm and the zeal of the Muslim must be constant,
and he must continue to remain in the service of his Master.

[Saheeh Muslim]
Unn logon mein se na ho jaao,
jo mahez Ramadan ke liye ghunahon se baaz rahte hain
aur Allah ke khauf ki wajah se nahin!
Jo Ramadan ke maheene ke ilawah
(doosre maheeno mein) Allah ko nahin pahchaante.
Musalmanon ka josh aur kharosh paainda rahna chahiye
aur unhe apne parwardigaar ki khidmat mein
musalsal lage rahna chahiye.

Hadith:The Excellence of Observing Saum (Fasting)
Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Every slave of Allah who observes Saum (fasting)
for one day for the sake of ALLAH, Subhanahu wa ta'ala,,
Allah will draw his face farther from Hell-fire
to the extent of a distance to be covered in seventy years.''

Allah, the Majestic and the Exalted, said:

except fasting.It is done for My sake,
and I will give a reward for it..."

Hadith: Blessings Upon Those Who Eat Sahoor..
Commentary :
Note: How great is Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) 's favor upon us
that even eating before dawn for fasting is so greatly rewarded.
There are many Ahadith in which the virtues of Sahoor are explained
and the rewards promised. Allama al-Ainee-the commentator
Saheeh of Bukhari has quoted the virtues of Sahoor from seventeen
different Sahabah and all the Ulama are agreed on its being referred.
Many people are deprived of this great reward because of their own
laziness. Some even go so far as to finish Taraweeh,
eat some food in lieu of Sahoor and go to bed.
What great blessing do they lose! Because Sahoor actually means
food eaten shortly before dawn.
"When Ramadan begins,
the gates of Jannah are opened,
the gates of Hell are closed,
and the devils are chained.''
[Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This is a special distinction of the month of Ramadan during
which Muslims become more inclined towards the worship of Allah.
They pay greater attention to the recitation of the Qur'an,
remembrance of Allah, worship, and seeking pardon for sins.
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,
"Allah the Exalted and Majestic said:
`Every act of the son of Adam is for him,
except As-Siyam (the fasting) which is (exclusively) for Me,
and I will reward him for it.' Fasting is a shield.
When anyone of you is observing fast,
he should neither indulge in obscene language
nor should he raise his voice;
and if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him,
he should say: `I am fasting.'
By Him in Whose Hand the soul of Muhammad is,
the breath of one observing Saum is sweeter to Allah
than the fragrance of musk.
The one who fasts, experiences two joys:
he feels pleasure when he breaks the fast.
He is joyful by virtue of his fast when he meets his Rubb.''

Ref:[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
"Khuluf'', is the smell that comes from the mouth of person who observes Saum.
It results from the thirst and hunger which he has to suffer during the Saum.
The Hadith not only tells us the merits of Saum but also brings into focus
the true significance of it. Saum is not thus mere abstention from food, drink and
sexual intercourse, but also keeping away from all evils and vices and embracing virtues.

The month of Ramadan has come to you with blessings,
wherein Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) turns towards you
and sends down to you His special blessing,
forgives your faults, accepts Dua,
appreciates your competing for the greatest good
and boasts to the angels about you.
So show to Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) your righteousness;
for truly, the most pitiable and unfortunate one is he,
who is deprived of Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala)'s mercy
in this month.
