Be Excited At The Approach Of Ramadaan

Main Topic

Welcoming and spiritually preparing for the blessed month of Ramadan with excitement, gratitude, and devotion.

Gratitude for Life: Reaching Ramadan is a immense blessing from Allah Ta'ala, especially as many people pass away before being able to witness it.
Correct Mindset: Avoid viewing fasting or Taraweeh as a burdensome task; Sahaba (radiallahu anhum) and pious predecessors eagerly anticipated Ramadan months in advance.
Multiplication of Rewards: During Ramadan, a single Fard prayer carries the reward of 70 Fard prayers, and Nafl acts earn the reward of Fard obligations.
Angelic Qualities: Fasting elevates a person above angels because humans suppress their Nafs and worldly desires purely for the obedience of Allah Ta'ala.
Reverence for the Quran: Reciting and listening to the Quran in Taraweeh must be done with utmost respect (Adab) and proper recitation, not rushed to save time.

Sha'ban Sermon: Hadith where Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) announced the arrival of a great month (Shahrun 'Azeem) of patience (Sabr), the reward for which is Jannah.
Ceasing of Divine Revelation: The incident where Sayyidina Abu Bakr and Sayyidina Umar (radiallahu anhuma) visited an elderly Sahabiya who wept over the closure of the window of Wahi (revelation) after the passing of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
Definition of the Intelligent Person: Hadith stating that the truly clever individual restrains his Nafs and prepares for life after death.
The Reality of Ghibat: Incident during the time of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) where two fasting women vomited blood and flesh due to backbiting.

Build excitement and eager anticipation before Ramadan arrives rather than dreading the physical hardships.
Eliminate time-wasting activities during Ramadan, such as idle chatter, sports, social media, and excessive entertainment.
Treat Quran recitation (Tilawat) as a direct conversation with Allah Ta'ala, refusing to break focus for unnecessary interruptions.
Strictly guard the tongue from backbiting, arguments, and vain speech to preserve the spiritual light (Nur) of fasting.
