Deeds That We Should do during Ramadan
This article was send in by Hafsah
Ali Ermes, jazak Allahu khayran.
The Prophet was the most generous person in doing
good, and he was more generous than ever during Ramadan when he would meet with Jibril. (Al-Bukhari)
1.
As-Sadaqah (charity)
Whoever feeds the person who is breaking his fast, he will have his reward (for his
fasting) without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person. (Ahmad and At-Tirmithi, and it is Sahih.)
2.
Qiyam-ul-Layl (standing at night for prayer):
The Prophet said: Whoever stands (for prayer at night) during
Ramadan, with faith and seeking reward, he will be forgiven for his previous sins. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
The
Prophet used to be more active (in prayer) during the nights of Ramadan and during the last ten nights, he would wake
everyone in his family, young and old, whoever was able to perform prayer. (Muslim)
3. Recitation of the
Noble Qur'an:
As the Prophet used to recite the Noble Qur'an often during Ramadan and Jibril, upon him
be peace, used to review the Qur'an with him during Ramadhan. (Al-Bukhari)
The Prophet used to prolong his recitation
for Qiyam (standing in prayer at night) of Ramadan more than he did at other times.
Hudhayfah prayed with him one
night and he recited Surah Al-Baqarah, then Aal 'Imran and then An-Nisa'. He did not pass a verse that caused fear
except that he stopped at it and asked (supplicated to Allah). He did not complete two Rak'ahs (units of prayer) until
Bilal came and called him to the prayer (Salat-ul-Fajr}. (Al-Bukhari)
4. Al-I'tikaf:
This
means staying in the Masjid for worship, seeking to draw nearer to Allah the Almighty. The Prophet performed Al-I'tikaf
and he always made Al-I'tikaf during the last ten nights of Ramadan until Allah the Almighty took him away. This has
been related in the Sahih (of Al-Bukhari)
5. 'Umrah:
This means visiting the Sacred House of
Allah (the Kaabah) for the performance of Tawaf and Sa'y during Ramadan, as the Prophet said: An 'Umbra performed
during Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj performed with me. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
And he said: Al-'Umrah to Al-'Umrah
is an expiation for whatever (sins were committed) between them. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
