a person heedless of the remembrance of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Righteous people also keep themselves away from such sports. They do not even watch such sports and frolics let alone playing them; they even do not listen to the commentary of such sports. We, therefore, should always stay away from such activities and should not especially waste the blessed moments of the sacred month of Ramadan at all in this way. (Faizan-e-Sunnat, pp. 927)

Dear Islamic sisters! Very severe punishments have been mentioned for those who ruin the sanctity of the blessed month of Ramadan. Let’s listen to them and learn a lesson.

One who commits sins in Ramadan

Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Haani رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has narrated that the Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم warned, ‘My Ummah will not be disgraced as long as it fulfils the rights of Ramadan.’ He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was asked as to what was meant by the disgrace of Ummah in this matter, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘Committing sins in this month.’

As the reward of good deeds is increased in this month compared to other months, the severity of sins also increases.’ (Al-Mu’jam-us-Sagheer, vol. 9, pp. 60, Hadees 1488)
