| The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, "Ramadan has come to you. (It is) a month of blessing, in which Allah covers you with blessings, for He sends down Mercy, decreases sins and answers prayers. In it, Allah looks at your competition (in good deeds), and boasts about you to His angels. So show Allah goodness from yourselves, for the unfortunate one is he who is deprived in (this month) of the mercy of Allah, the Mighty, the Exalted." [Narrated by Tabarani] |
