Sub Title 2 (h2): The Virtues of Fasting in Ramadhan Fasting in Ramadhan is not only a physical act of refraining from food and drink but also a spiritual act of devotion and worship to Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever fasts in Ramadhan with faith and seeking reward from Allah, his previous sins will be forgiven.” (Sahih Bukhari). Fasting in Ramadhan is also a means of gaining taqwa (God-consciousness), as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Fasting is a shield from Hellfire.” (Sahih Bukhari). Sub Title 3 (h2): The Importance of Suhoor and Iftar Suhoor is the pre-dawn meal that Muslims eat before starting their fast, and Iftar is the meal that they break their fast with at sunset. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged Muslims to eat suhoor and delay iftar. He said, “Eat suhoor, for in suhoor there is blessing.” (Sahih Bukhari). He also said, “The people will remain on the right path as long as they hasten to break the fast.” (Sahih Bukhari). Sub Title 4 (h2): The Etiquettes of Fasting Fasting in Ramadhan requires certain etiquettes and manners. Muslims should avoid backbiting, lying, and any other sinful acts while fasting.

Muslims should also be kind, generous, and charitable during Ramadhan. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “The best charity is that given in Ramadhan.” (Tirmidhi). Sub Title 5 (h2): The Rewards of Fasting Fasting in Ramadhan has immense rewards and benefits.

Fasting also helps Muslims appreciate the blessings of Allah and become more grateful for them. Sub Title 7 (h2): The Significance of Laylatul Qadr Laylatul Qadr is the Night of Power, which is one of the last ten nights of Ramadhan. It is the night when the first revelation of the Quran was sent down to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Muslims are encouraged to seek this blessed night and spend it in worship and supplication. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever prays on the Night of Qadr with faith and hoping for its reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” (Sahih Bukhari). Sub Title 8 (h2): The Importance of Tarawih Prayers Tarawih prayers are the additional prayers that Muslims perform during Ramadhan after the Isha prayer. They are not obligatory but highly recommended. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) led the Tarawih prayers in congregation during his lifetime. Muslims should try to perform Tarawih prayers regularly during Ramadhan to increase their rewards and strengthen their faith. Sub Title 9 (h2): The Conclusion of Ramadhan The end of Ramadhan is marked by the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, which is a day of joy and gratitude for Muslims. On this day, Muslims gather for prayer, exchange gifts, and share meals with their families and friends.
