Question:
May I have your permission, Shaykh Salih, to take these questions that have come to us regarding what concerns the blessed month of Ramadan? This questioner says: What are the best righteous deeds in the blessed month of Ramadan?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. May prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. We are now in a great, blessed month, namely the month of Ramadan, the month of fasting and standing in night prayer and reciting the Qur'an, the month of being freed from the Fire, the month of charity and doing good, the month in which the gates of Paradise are opened, good deeds are multiplied, and stumbles are pardoned, the month in which supplications are answered, ranks are raised, and sins are forgiven, the month in which Allah made fasting one of the pillars of Islam. The Chosen One (peace and blessings be upon him) fasted it, and he ordered the people to fast it, and he informed (peace and blessings be upon him) that whoever fasts it with faith and seeking reward, Allah will forgive him what has passed of his sins, and whoever stands it in prayer with faith and seeking reward, Allah will forgive him what has passed of his sins. So whatever righteous deed a Muslim does, its reward is multiplied. Therefore, the Muslim does what he is able to, the most important of which is fasting by fasting the month with faith and seeking reward, and by guarding his fast and his limbs in Ramadan, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1903 He (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: Riyad as-Salihin 1240 It is recommended to increase in the recitation of the Qur'an, for good deeds are multiplied in this noble month, and a letter is ten good deeds, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Among them is maintaining the prayer of tarawih and standing in night prayer, and increasing in charity. Yes.
