Some of them make this an occasion for laziness, idleness, sleep and neglecting the different acts of obedience that they could otherwise be doing. Others find this a good opportunity for watching shows on satellite television while others stay up late at night and use this precious time to pay visits, go to markets, relax, make trips and the like while others make it an occasion for exaggeration in eating, drinking and doing whatever they like, as if Ramadan is the month of food and drink, and not the month of fasting.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, there are some other people for whom Allaah The Almighty wants good for and thus guides them to the right way so that they became able to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong. Such people receive this blessed month warmly and happily since they believe that it is a golden opportunity to attain forgiveness for sins and make a new start that would be sin-free. In fact, the blessed month of Ramadan is the month of forgiveness, mercy and emancipation from Hell. The Prophet, Peace be upon him, used to give his Companions glad tidings on the arrival of Ramadan saying:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>\u201cThere has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month which Allaah has enjoined you to fast, during which the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the rebellious devils are chained up.

This is because the fasting person cannot be known except by Allaah The Almighty, The Most Exalted, especially if he observes fasting in days other than the days of Ramadan and even in Ramadan, for one can pretend that he is fasting while he is not. In addition to this, the fasting person keeps away from the slightest thing that can affect his fasting out of sincerity to Allaah The Almighty and seeking His pleasure. Therefore, Allaah The Almighty has hidden the reward of fasting and made it for Himself in much the same way as the fasting person has hidden his fasting from other people, and of course Allaah The Almighty only gives that which is bountiful and plentiful. Allaah The Almighty says in a Qudsi (Sacred) Hadeeth:<span style=\"color: #339966;\"> {Every deed of the son of Aadam (Adam) will be rewarded between ten and seven hundred fold, except fasting, for it is for Me and I shall reward it Myself.}[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Receiving Ramadan by adhering strictly to the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace be upon him:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">No act can be accepted unless it meets two conditions: that it is accompanied by a sincere intention, which is that one should do it only for the sake of Allaah The Almighty, and in that it is in accordance with the guidance of the Prophet, peace be up on him.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The verse mentioned above refers to both of these conditions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">{So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord &#8211; let him do righteous work}<\/span> refers to following the guidance of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">{And not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone.}[Quran 18: 110] refers to a sincere intention.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Indeed the Prophet, peace be upon him, clarified everything about the matter of fasting such as when to start and stop fasting, its pillars, its obligations, its recommended acts, its manners, its virtues and its benefits, things that break the fast, what cannot affect the fast, excuses that allow one to break the fast, and everything else that is related to the fast.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Receiving Ramadan with patience<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">In fact, Ramadan is the month of patience and forbearance.
