“When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained.”
Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim
Translated Hadith from Arabic-English
And in another narration,
“A caller calls out: O seeker of good, come forward! O seeker of evil, hold back! And Allah frees people from the Fire every night.”
Jami at-Tirmidhi
Translated Hadith from Arabic-English
Every year, Ramadan arrives not just as a month, but as a mercy from Allah.
“O you who believe! Fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may attain taqwa.”
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:183)
Translated Verse from Arabic to English
And Allah says about Ramadan,
“The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the crescent of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey, then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.”
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:185)
Translated Verse from Arabic to English
A month where small good deeds become mountains. Sins are erased. Duas are answered & Allah frees people from the fire every night. O Doer of Good, Come Forward!
This call is an invitation to pray more, read quran daily, give charity, forgive someone, leave a bad habit, start again & continue the good deeds even after Ramadan ends.
Ramadan is your moment. Allah opens the doors of Jannah meaning the path to goodness becomes easier. Hearts soften. Tears fall quicker. Being sincere in worship, all of it for Allah none has the right to be worshipped alone without any partners except Allah the true King owner of Dominance.
Even someone who has been distant from Allah all year feels a pull in Ramadan. That is not coincidence. That is mercy. O Doer of Evil, Withhold!
Ramadan is also a warning. It is a reminder that if devils are chained, the doors of Hell are closed & doors of Paradise are open. Then what excuse remains? If someone continues in sin during Ramadan, it is no longer Shaytan pulling & pushing it is the nafs refusing to surrender. Ramadan exposes the truth of our hearts. It shows who we really want to be.
The prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to say these Duas often in Ramadan.
"O Changer of the hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion."
Sahih Muslim
Translated Hadith from Arabic-English
"O Allah, indeed You are Pardoning, You love to pardon, so pardon me."
Jami at-Tirmidhi
Translated Hadith from Arabic-English
The Prophet ﷺ said that every night in Ramadan, Allah frees people from Hellfire. Every night. Not once. Not only on Laylatul Qadr. Every night. Imagine being on that list. Imagine your name being written among the forgiven.
When the caller announces, "O seeker of good, come forward!”
Will you respond? And when the caller says, “O seeker of evil, hold back!”
Will you pause?
Ramadan is not guaranteed. Many who fasted last year are no longer here. This month is an opportunity that may never return. Make this ramadan different let it be reciting quran with understanding, tahajjud before sleep, sadaqah before spending & forgiveness before regret.
Because when ramadan ends, we don’t want to be left unchanged.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, ascended the pulpit and he said, “Amin, amin, amin.” It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, you ascended the pulpit and said amin, amin, amin.” The Prophet said, “Verily, Gabriel came to me and he said: Whoever reaches the month of Ramadan and he is not forgiven, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say amin. I said amin. Whoever sees his parents in their old age, one or both of them, and he does not honor them and he dies, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say amin. I said amin. Whoever has your name mentioned in his presence and he does not send blessings upon you and he dies, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say amin. I said amin.”
Sahih Ibn Hibban
Translated Hadith from Arabic-English
This Ramadan could be the one that Allah forgives you.
Allah is the All Forgiving and Most Merciful, offering forgiveness for all sins no matter how great to those who sincerely repent before they witness death.
Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
Surah Az-Zumar (39:53)
Translated Verse from Arabic to English
سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك أشهد ان لا اله الا انت استغفرك وأتوب اليك
