Book Name:Istiqbal-e-Ramadan

یا خدا ماہِ رمضاں کے صدقے                سچّی توبہ کی توفیق دیدے

نیک بن جاؤں جی چاہتا ہے                 یا خُدا تجھ سے میری دُعا ہے

Heavenly maidens

Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُمَا has said that the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Undoubtedly Paradise is decorated for the arrival of the month of Ramadan from beginning to the end of the year. When the first night of Ramadan arrives, beneath the ‘Arsh a breeze blows, called Museerah. (By the blowing of this breeze) the leaves of Paradise and the leaves of doors begin to sway, producing such a pleasant sound that no one has ever heard. Large-eyed Hoors (maidens) then appear and call out standing by the balconies of Jannah: Is there anyone who calls out to        Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, so that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ marries him (to us)? They then ask: O Ridwan of Jannah! What night is this? Then, Sayyiduna Ridwan عَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام answers uttering Labbayk: This is the first night of the month of Ramadan. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said: O Ridwan! Open the doors of Paradise; O Maalik! Close the doors of Hell; O Jibra`eel! Go to the earth and put the headstrong Satans into the sea after fastening them with chains so that they may not cause any mischief in the fasts of my Beloved Prophet’s Ummah. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ then orders a Munaadi (announcer) to call out 3 times in every night of Ramadan: Is there anyone who begs so that I grant him his wish? Is there anyone who repents so that I accept his repentance? Is there anyone who asks for forgiveness so that I forgive him? (Attargheeb Wattarheeb, vol. 2, pp. 20, Hadees 1499)

 

ہر گھڑی رَحمت بھری ہے ہر طرف ہیں برَکتیں         ماہِ رَمَضاں رَحمتوں اور برَکتوں کی کان ہے

عاصِیوں کی مغفرت کا لیکر آیا ہے پَیام              جھوم جاؤ مجرِمو! رَمَضاں مہِ غُفران ہے

بھائیو بہنو! کرو سب نیکیوں پر نیکیاں              پڑگئے دوزخ پہ تالے قید میں شیطان ہے

بھائیو بہنو! گناہوں سے سبھی توبہ کرو             خُلد کے دَر کُھل گئے ہیں داخِلہ آسان ہے

 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
