The Official Ramadan Thread. Ramadan 1430 A.H/August 2009 (OP)
The month of Ramadan is next month.
The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe fasts that month… [al-Baqarah 2:185]
The Prophet (saaws) used to tell his Companions the good news of the onset of Ramadan, and urge them to make the most of it.
Abu Hurayrah (saaws) said: “The Messenger of Allah (saaws) said,
There has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month. Allah has made it obligatory on you to fast (this month). During it the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are locked, and the devils are chained up. In it there is a night that is better than a thousand months, and whoever is deprived of its goodness is deprived indeed. [Reported by al-Nisaa'i, 4/129; Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1/490]
And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]

Brothers and sisters! We are into the 2nd week of Ramadhan! InshaAllah everyone is doing well!! And remind (by preaching the Qur'ân) for verily, the reminding profits the believers. [51:55]
I have spent my time doing and shall be various activities to increase my Taqwa. InshaAllah!
A description of Taqwa is a high state of heart which one keeps conscious Allah's presence, and does righteous deeds and avoid those which are permitted.
Taqwa is one of our main objective of fasting! Furthermore Taqwa is one of the main objective of the relevation of the Quran.....
(It is) a Qur'an in Arabic, without any crookedness (therein): in order that they may guard against Evil. [39:28]
Taqwa is something we need, not only for Ramadhan, but everyday throughout our lives!
Ramadhan is a month of Taqwa! Lets increase it inshaAllah!!
FiAmaaniAllah

May Allah forgive us, for all the times we wasted throughout the month, and didnt use it to gain the reward Allah set out for us.
Brothers and sisters, 20 days have come and gone, have we learnt anything? or just gone through hunger and sleepless nights.
Have we increase our Taqwa, have we increased in our deeds. Did we speak good or remain silent?
What are we going to take from this month for the rest of our lives?
InshaAllah ill write a list of things, which we may have taken from this blessed month fro the rest of our lives.
