3. RAHMA
Narrated By Abu Huraira: Allah's
Apostle said, "When the month of
RAMADAN starts, the gates of the
heaven are opened and the gates of
Hell are closed and the devils are
chained."

4. RAMADAN – MONTH OF PRAYERS
Narrated By Abu Huraira: Allah's
Apostle said: "Whoever establishes
prayers during the nights of
RAMADAN faithfully out of sincere
faith and hoping to attain Allah's
rewards (not for showing off), all his
past sins will be forgiven."

5. GENEROSITY
Narrated By Ibn 'Abbas: Allah's Apostle
was the most generous of all the people,
and he used to reach the peak in generosity
in the month of RAMADAN when Gabriel
met him. Gabriel used to meet him every
night of RAMADAN to teach him the
Qur'an. Allah's Apostle was the most
generous person, even more generous than
the strong uncontrollable wind (in
readiness and haste to do charitable deeds).

6. FORGIVENESS
Narrated By Abu Huraira: Allah's
Apostle said, "Whoever observes
fasts during the month of
RAMADAN out of sincere faith, and
hoping to attain Allah's rewards, then
all his past sins will be forgiven."

7. TAHAJUD
Narrated By Abu Salma bin 'Abdur Rahman: I
asked 'Aisha, "How is the prayer of Allah's
Apostle during the month of RAMADAN." She
said, "Allah's Apostle never exceeded eleven
Rakat in RAMADAN or in other months; he
used to offer four Rakat... do not ask me about
their beauty and length, then four Rakat, do
not ask me about their beauty and length, and
then three Rakat." 'Aisha further said, "I said,
'O Allah's Apostle! Do you sleep before offering
the Witr prayer?' He replied, 'O 'Aisha! My
eyes sleep but my heart remains awake!'"

8. ZAKAT
Narrated By Nafi': Ibn 'Umar said, "The Prophet made
incumbent on every male or female, free man or slave, the
payment of one Sa' of dates or barley as Sadaqat-ul-Fitr
(or said Sadaqa-RAMADAN)." The people then
substituted half Sa' of wheat for that. Ibn 'Umar used to
give dates (as Sadaqat-ulFitr). Once there was scarcity of
dates in Medina and Ibn 'Umar gave barley. 'And Ibn
'Umar used to give Sadaqat-ul-Fitr f
or every young and old person. He even used to give on
behalf of my children. Ibn 'Umar used to give Sadaqatul-
Fitr to those who had been officially appointed for its
collection. People used to give Sadaqat-ul-Fitr (even) a
day or two before the 'Id.

9. UMRA IN RAMADAN
Narrated By Ata: I heard Ibn 'Abbas
saying, "Allah's Apostle asked an Ansari
woman (Ibn 'Abbas named her but 'Ata'
forgot her name), 'What prevented you
from performing Hajj with us?' She replied,
'We have a camel and the father of so-and-
so and his son (i.e. her husband and her
son) rode it and left one camel for us to use
for irrigation.' He said (to her), 'Perform
'Umra when RAMADAN comes, for
'Umra in RAMADAN is equal to Hajj (in
reward),' or said something similar."

10. TARAWEEH
Narrated By 'Aisha: With the start of
the last ten days of RAMADAN, the
Prophet used to tighten his waist belt
(i.e. work hard) and used to pray all
the night, and used to keep his family
awake for the prayers.

11. ITIKAF
Narrated By 'Aisha: (The wife of the
Prophet) The Prophet used to practice
Itikaf in the last ten days of
RAMADAN till he died and then his
wives used to practice Itikaf after
him.

strength and power to pray &
recite Quran as much as possible
