Welcoming Ramadan
Dear Islamic brothers! We are currently in the final days of ShaꜤbān al-MuꜤaẓẓam. If Allah wills, we shall very soon be reaping the spiritual harvests of Ramadan. Let us listen to the magnificent virtues of this month.
Amir Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ, in his renowned book Faizan-e-Ramadan (amended), writes:
Sayyidunā ꜤAbdullāh b. ꜤAbbās رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُما narrates that the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
"When the first night of Ramadan arrives, a wind called مُـثِیْرہ (Muthīrah) blows from beneath the Throne, causing the leaves of the trees of Paradise to sway. This wind produces such a melodious sound that no one has ever heard anything more beautiful. Upon hearing this sound, the large-eyed Ḥūr (maidens of Paradise) appear and stand upon the lofty palaces of Paradise, proclaiming: 'Is there anyone who will ask Allah Almighty for us in marriage?'
Then the Ḥūr ask the gatekeeper of Paradise, (Sayyidunā) Riḍwān عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام: 'What night is this?' (Sayyidunā) Riḍwān عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام replies with theتَلْبِیَہ (لَبَّیـْک) and says: 'This is the first night of the month of Ramadan; the gates of Paradise have been opened for those who fast from the Ummah of Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.'"[1]
Dear Islamic brothers! You have heard how immensely generous Allah is towards those who fast, opening the gates of Paradise for them in Ramadan. Furthermore, what can be said of the month of Ramadan
