Question:
May Allah reward you. Abu Hisham says, may Allah bless you, how do we make the blessed month of Ramadan a strengthening of the Muslim's creed?
Answer:
Ramadan is a blessed month.[Al-Baqarah 2:185] Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, has made this month a great season for Muslims: its night is for standing in prayer, its day for fasting, and its hours for dhikr and recitation of the Qur'an. It is all blessed, all blessed for the Muslim, so he should not waste it through heedlessness, laziness, or following low channels and following distractions and things that cause forgetfulness. He will come out of this month bankrupt, may Allah protect us from that, and be deprived of its bounty and reward. In the hadith, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 646 they asked him about it, and he said, "Indeed," so he said, peace and blessings be upon him,
the Fire. I said, "Ameen," and I said, "Ameen." Yes.

أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم صعد المنبر فقال آمين آمين آمين قالوا يا رسول اللهWhoever encounters the month of Ramadan and is not forgiven, then dies, he will enter the Fire. I said, "Ameen," and I said, "Ameen."
من أدرك شهر رمضان فلم يغفر له فمات فدخل النار قل آمين فقلت آمين.He said, "And whoever encounters his parents or one of them and does not treat them with kindness, then dies, he will enter the Fire. I said, 'Ameen,' and I said, 'Ameen.' He said, 'And whoever I am mentioned in the presence of, O Muhammad, and he does not send blessings upon you,
