Ramadan’s Almost Here!

Alhamdullilah, I love Ramadan and its almost here! Well here are juss some stuff about Ramadan: (Note: the following information was mostly taken form Faza’il-e-A’maal and some random lectures, any mistakes made is my own fault/misunderstanding of the context and may Allah(SWT) forgive me, InshaAllah.)
- In Ramadan fasting is Fard by day, and Taraweeh is Sunnah by night.
- In Ramadan performing a Nafl act is equivalent to the reward of Fard act.
- In Ramadan performing a Fard act is equivalent to 70 Fard acts any other time.
- This is the month of patience.
- Show sympathy to one another.
- The first 10 days of Ramadan bring’s Allah’s mercy.
- The next 10 days of Ramdan bring’s Allah’s forgiveness.
- The Last 10 days brings emancipation from the fire of Jahanam.
- Allah turns to us and sends us his special mercy.
- Allah forgives our faults, accepts our prayers.
- Allah boasts to his Malaa’ikah about us.
- Try to recite Kalima Tayyiba.
- Make Istighfar (to please Allah)
- Beg for entry into Jannah.
- Seek refuge in Allah from Jahanum (these we can not do with out)
- The fish in the sea seek forgiveness for the fasting person on their behalf until the person breaks their fast.
- The smell from the mouth of a fasting person is sweeter to Allah than the smell of musk.
- Allah prepares and decorates a special garden in Jannah everyday and says to it “The time is near when faithful servants cast aside the greatest trials of the world and come to you.”
- Angel Jibrael said to Prophet Muhammed(صلى الله عليه و سل)”Woe to him who found the blessed month of Ramadan and let it pass without gaining forgiveness,” and Prophet Muhammed(صلى الله عليه و سل) said “Ameen!”
- The du’aa of a fasting person is not rejected until he breaks his fast.
- Allah and his Malaa’ikah send mercy upon those who eat suhoor.
- Dailey recitation of the Qur’aan.
- Dawah.
- Zakah.
- Try to stay in Wudhu at all times.
- Respect to all Adults(***especially children to parents***)
- Fasting is a protective covering for a man as long as he does not tear that protection.
Also, Perform Salat-tu-Tasbeeh, this Salah can be reported once a day, every Friday, once a month, once a year, or at least once in a life time(Its been reported that the reward for this Salah is forgiveness for all sins,whether committed knowingly or unknowingly, minor or major.) I know that many people that tell me that they aren’t familiar with Salat-ut-Tasbeeh so here’s juss some quick notes about how to perform it:
- Make niyyah for 4 rakaats Nafl Salat-ut-Tasbeeh.
- After Takbeer Tahrima recite Thana.
- Recite the 3rd kalima 25 times.
- Recite Surah Fatiha.
- Go into ruku and recite the 3rd kalima 10 times (while in ruku)
- In qaumah recite the 3rd kalima 10 times.
- First sajdah read 3rd kalima 10 times, repeat for second sajdah.
- Continue above steps, when you are done the 3rd kalima will have been read 300 times, Alhamdulillah
