- The Prophet (peace be upon hiss) was reported to have said that "when Ramadhan comes, the gets of Paradise was opened." [2] The month of Ramadhan is a great opportunity for are to do the deeds that could bring him/her closer to Paradise.
- Fasting in Ramadhan is also an opportunity to atone for one's sins. Abu Hurayrah quoted the Prophet (peace be upon him) as saying , "who ever fast during the month of Ramadhan out of sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allah will have all of his previous sin's forgiven."[3]
- Fasting also provide protection from evil for those who sincerely fast. Allah's messenger (peace be upon him) was reported to have said, "Fasting is a sheild."[4]
- Allah has a special reward which He personally gives one who fasts furthfully. Abu Hurayrah related that the Prophet (peace be upon him) quoted Allah as saying , "Every act of Adam's descendants is for themselves, except fasting. It is meant for me alone, and I alone will give the reward for it."[5]
- Perhaps the greatest and most unique merit of Ramadhan lies in the fact that the Quran, which is the last and only unchanged book of Divine Guidance remaining in the world , was revealed during this month. Allah states :
The month of Ramadhan is the one in which the Quran was sent down as a (pure source of) guidance for man kind. In it are clear teachngs showing the Right way and the Criterian (for judging truth and false hood)".
[Noble Quran 2:186]
