Dear Islamic brothers! These acts of worship carried out by our beloved master, the final Prophet of Allah  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , teach us a great lesson. We should all strive our absolute best to act upon his example and actions.

Here are two hadith of Allah’s Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم discussing the importance of dhikr in Ramaḍān:
