THE RAMADHAAN OF RASULULLAH SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WASALLAM 1. Hazrat Ayesha Radhiallahu Anhaa says: “When the month of Ramadhaan approached, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) increased his efforts (strivings) more than out of Ramadhaan (months). [Muslim] 2. Hazrat Ayesha Radhiallahu Anhaa relates that when the month of Ramadhaan set in, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam’s salaat used to increase in relation to (the other months) out of Ramadhaan and due to the profusion of Ibaadat (worship and exertion) his face use tochange colour. [Baihaqi] 3. Hazrat Ayesha Radhiallahu Anhaa says: “When Ramadhaan came, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam did not rest until the whole Ramadhaan passed, he would not lie down on his bed.” [Shu’bul Imaan Baihaqi] 4. Hazrat Ayesha Radhiallahu Anhaa relates that when the last ten days of Ramadhaan came then Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam would stay awake the whole night and awaken his family members also. [Bukhari Vol.1 p. 269] 5. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam has also exhorted his Ummat to increase their Ibaadat in Ramadhaan, in relation to other months. So much so, that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said: “The reward of a Nafl is equal to a Fardh, and the reward of a Fardh is equal to seventy Fardhs (in any other month).” [Mishkaat] Therefore a person who claims to fully follow the Sunnat of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam should most certainly exert himself and increase his Ibaadat in Ramadhaan. Particularly in the last ten nights, the whole night should be spent in Ibaadat and we should awaken our family members as well. So much so, that the colour of our faces should change due to our exertions. We should follow the Sunnat, and complete the twenty rakaats of Taraweeh, so that the Qiyaamul-Layl (standing up in salaat at night) which has been prescribed by Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam may be attained. This is something that every Muslim performs, so much so, that even in the Haramayn in Makkah Mukarramah and Madina Munawwarah the Imaam leads twenty rakaats. Who really is closer to the Sunnat? The one who exerts and performs the twenty rakaats of Taraweeh or the one who leaves the House of Allah Ta’ala, after only performing a few rakaats? Darul Uloom Zakariyya wishes one and all Ramadhaan Kareem. |
