Question:
He says: It is reported in a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that So what should the Muslim do in this month?
Answer:
The Muslim should strive in worship in this month; he should strive in worship.
Through night prayer, the tarawih prayer, the tahajjud prayer, reciting the Qur'an, and i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) in the Sacred Mosque, and performing the five daily prayers in it. One prayer in it is worth a hundred thousand prayers in other mosques. This is an opportunity where virtues have gathered for you: the virtue of the place, which is the Sacred Mosque; the virtue of the time, which is the month of Ramadan; the virtue of standing in prayer during the nights of Ramadan; and the virtue of Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree). These are great virtues. The Muslim should seize these virtues and not be lazy or delay them, because this is an opportunity that may pass and not return to him.
