month whose first 10 days are mercy, second 10 days are forgiveness and the last 10 days are deliverance from the Hell. The person who takes less work from his employee, Allah Almighty will forgive him and will free him from the Hell. The one who serves a Sawm-observing person with a meal to his fill, Allah Almighty will make him drink such a mouthful [of water] from my pond that he will never feel thirsty (after drinking it) and will enter Paradise.

 (Ibn-e-Khuzaymah, vol. 3, pp. 191, Hadees 1887)

صَـلُّوا عَلَى الْـحَـبِيْب                                                                                                                 صَـلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلٰى مُـحَـمَّد

سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰہ, our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would have so much love and devotion to this sacred month i.e. sacred Ramadan that as the signs of this sacred month would appear, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would himself welcome this sacred month with extreme glory and would also mention its glory and dignity, virtues and blessings to the blessed companions and by doing this he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would describe its significance and importance to them. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would also make their mind to perform different virtuous deeds. Therefore we should also wish Muslims this blessed month. We should also perform acts of worship ourselves in this blessed month and should make others aware of the importance, virtues and blessings of this sacred month and continue to make their mind to perform many good deeds. May Allah Almighty bless us with the real blessings of blessed Ramadan!

اٰمِــيْن بِـجَـاهِ الـنَّـبِـیِّ الْاَمِــيْن صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
