Welcoming Ramadan
When a person begins their day in a state of fasting, the gates of the skies are opened for him, his limbs glorify Allah, and the angels of the lowest sky seek forgiveness for him until sunset. If he offers one or two units of prayer, they become light for him in the heavens, and his wives among the Ḥūr al-ꜤĪn (heavenly maidens) say: “O Allah! Send him to us, for we long for his presence.” If he recitesلَآاِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ , orسُبْحٰنَ اللہ or اللہُ اَکْبَر, seventy thousand (70,000) angels continue recording its reward until sunset.[1]
Dear Islamic brothers! The one who fasts is truly blessed; the gates of the heavens are opened for him, the limbs of his body glorify Allah, the angels of the lowest sky pray for his forgiveness until sunset, his prayer becomes light for him in the heavens, the heavenly maidens await his arrival in Paradise, and if he recites لَآاِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ, or سُبْحٰنَ اللہ, or اللہُ اَکْبَر, 70,000 angels record its reward until sunset.[2] Those who fast will be blessed with Allah’s mercy in this world, and they will have a lofty rank in the Hereafter.
Sayyidunā ꜤAbdullāh b. ꜤAbbās رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُما narrates that the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
On the Day of Resurrection, a golden dining mat will be laid out for the fasting people, while the rest of humanity will be waiting (for their accountability).[3]
It is narrated by the fourth Caliph of Islam, Sayyidunā ꜤAlī al-Murtaḍā
