Brief Guide For Fasting RAMADAN 1 of 2

With the advent of another Ramadan, a mixture of feelings overwhelm the hearts of Muslims all over the world. The hearts are full of hope, based on truthful promises and great tidings, given by Allah and His Messenger (S), of great bounties and endless bliss.
1- We have been promised that the past sins will be forgiven for those whose fast is based on belief (Iman), sincerity and on truly expecting the reward from Allah (Ihtisaab).
2- We have further been told that there is one night in this month which is better (in rewards) than a thousand months of worship, and that all the past sins will be forgiven for those who spend it offering Qiyaam with both Iman and Ihtisaab.

3- We have been told that the devils will be chained down, that the gates of Hell will all be shut and that the gates of Paradise will all be open throughout this month.

4- We have been told that Allah will free (from punishment) some of his Ebad (worshipers) on every single night of Ramadan.

5- We have been told that Allah answers the dua'a of the fasting person at his iftaar (fast-breaking).

6- We have been told that Allah multiplies the rewards of fasting beyond limits or imagination.

7- We have been told that the fasting person will be joyous and happy when he meets his Lord.

8- We all hope to be among those who offer the fast in the right way, in order to cultivate its glorious fruits.

9- We hope to be granted forgiveness of our previous sins, to be able to do much more good and to overcome all our weaknesses.

10- We hope to be among those who receive the gifts from the Jannah (paradise), whose gates are open.

11- We hope to humiliate our enemy (Satan), who is chained down, by rejecting any of his deceitful advice.

12- We hope to be among those who shall be granted full atonement of their sins by the end of this month, and among those who will be most happy with their fast when they meet their Lord.

13- We hope that all of us, Muslims, will be pleasing to Allah in order to deserve His Mercy and victory.

Together with hope, we have some concerns in our hearts. There are conditions for the fasting to be acceptable and to give its desired results: Iman and Ihtisaab. Are we going to perform our fast with the true belief and the full surrender to Allah, or is it going to be just a hard exercise for us in order to lose some weight? Are we going to fast because Allah imposed it on us or just because we have been used to it from our childhood? Is our intention to please Him or to please our friends and family?
