Ramadan is the 9th calendar month of the lunar agenda. It is very blest calendar month. It is chosen the chief of the months. The Almighty Allah has made the fasting of this whole month compulsory upon the Muslims. Its significance tin can be understood in this way that following the arrival of Rajab, the 7th calendar month of Islamic calendar, Allah's messenger Muhammad (SAWS) used to supplicate:
"O Allah! Brand the months of Rajab and Shaban blessed for us and accept u.s.a. to the calendar month of Ramadan. (Shuabu Al-Imam: 3534) Regarding Ramadan, the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) says:
"My Ummah has been granted five things in the calendar month of Ramadan which weren't granted to any prophet earlier me.
1: When the get-go night of the month of Ramadan comes, Allah the Mighty and Sublime sees them (this Ummah) and whomever He sees is never punished.
2: The smell coming out from the mouths at the time of breaking fast is better with Allah than the smell of musk.
3: The angels ask for forgiveness for them day and dark.
iv: The Almighty Allah orders His Jannah saying: 'Adorn yourself and become ready for my slaves….'
5: When it is the terminal night (of Ramadan), Allah forgives all of them. (Shuabu Al-Imam: 3331)
Glorious Qura'an was revealed in the very month of Ramadan. The Omnipotent Allah says:
"The calendar month of Ramadan is the ane in which Qur'an was revealed as guidance for flesh, and as articulate signs that show the right fashion and distinguish betwixt correct and wrong." (Al-Baqarah: 185)
Qura'an was revealed in the special night of the month of Ramadan that is chosen "Dark of Power". Allah the Exalted says:
"We have sent it (the Qur'an) down in the Night of Qadr." (Al-Qadr: 1)
The revelation of Qura'an in Ramadan means that Allah the All-powerful revealed the Holy Book from "The Preserved Tablet" in "The House of Might" of the kickoff sky at once in the "night of power". Then from "The Business firm of Might", it was sent downward upon the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) through Jibril (Every bit) in 23 years gradually according to the incidents.
Abu Al-Fida, Imaduddin Ismail bin Umar (700-774 AH) writes:
"Ibn Abbas and others have said: "Allah sent Qur'an down all at one time (in the Night of Power) from the Preserved Tablet (Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz) to the Firm of Might (Baytul-Izzah), which is in the heaven of this earth. Then information technology came downwards in parts to the Messenger of Allah based upon the incidents that occurred over a flow of 23 years.'' (Tafseer Ibn Kathir: 8/441)
The aforementioned verse proves that the Holy Qura'an was sent down in Ramadan. Therefore, Ramadan and Qura'an have thick and shut relations with each other. Treasuring the times in Ramadan, we must fast forth with involving ourselves in reciting it. Qura'an and the fasts are then much linked that they would intercede on the Day of Resurrection for those who fast and recite Qura'an. According to a Hadith:
"The fast and Qura'an will intercede on the Day of Qiyamah. The fast will say, O My Lord, I had stopped him from the food and drinkable in the 24-hour interval, so accept my intercession in his favour. Qura'an will speak: O my Lord, I stopped him from sleeping in the night, so take my intercession for him. So, their intercessions will be accepted." (Hilyah Al-Awliya Wa Tabaqat Al-Asfiya: 8/161)
The believers should spend most of their times in the month of Ramadan pondering over Qura'an and reciting information technology. While on the one hand, this activeness volition keep them protected from the cool and idle talks, it will cause the rewards for them in the futurity on the other. Allah the Almighty gave the gamble to our elders and pious predecessors to keep themselves busy in reciting Qura'an and pondering over it most of their times in Ramadan avoiding other activities.
It was the do of the Prophet (SAWS) to recite the Holy Qura'an to Jibril (Equally) in Ramadan every night as he (AS) used to meet him on every night in Ramadan. Abdullah bin Abbas (RA) narrating the Prophet (SAWS)'s habit of the recitation and generosity in Ramadan says:
"The Prophet was the most generous amongst the people, and he used to be more and so in the calendar month of Ramadan when Jibril (Equally) visited him. And Jibril (AS) used to come across him on every night of Ramadan till the end of the month. The Prophet (SAWS) used to recite the Noble Qur'an to Jibril, and when Jibril met him, he used to exist more generous than the off-white wind (sent by Allah with glad tidings (rain) in readiness and haste to practise charitable deeds.)" (Sahih Al-Bukhari: 1902)
The Hadith guides usa to be more generous in regard to the charitable works and to the recitation in Ramadan more than other months.
