كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ يُضَاعَفُ الْحَسَنَةُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعمِائَة ضِعْفٍ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا الصَّوْمَ فَإِنَّهُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ
Every deed of the son of Adam is multiplied from ten to seven hundred times. Allah the Exalted says: Except for fasting, for it is done for my sake and I will reward it.
The holy month of Ramadan is here, the most beloved month amongst all, for which we wait the whole year eagerly. The month which gives us a chance to become a better muslim by repenting from our sins, seeking forgiveness from Allah and doing lots of ibadah.
But do you know apart from fasting, praying and reading Quran there are some other ways to earn rewards which we miss sometimes?
Here are these:
1) Memorize Dua’s and Surah’s:
You can set a time span daily in which you can memorize dua’s and surah’s and stay consistent in doing, so this way at the end of ramadan you would have memorized bundles of it.
Sound’s great? Right!
2) Do Charity:
Giving away to the ones deserving does not decrease the wealth in fact it increases it more and keeps your belongings clean and pure.
So charity is considered to be one of the best deeds one can do. And Allah has promised a best reward for it
3) Feeding the one fasting:
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever gives iftaar to one who is fasting will have a reward like his, without that detracting from the reward of the fasting person in the slightest.”
4) Giving away bad habits:
If you find it hard to give up your bad habits then this is the perfect time for it also to adopt good habits. You can list down the habits you have to leave and the habits you have to adopt and keep a check on it. This will surely help and you will see a big positive change in yourself at the end of Ramadan.
5) Teaching Kids:
You can take some of your time out in this holy month and teach children Quran and regarding Ramadan; its blessings, manners and the events that happened. This way you will develop their interest as well as you can guide them about right and wrong doings.
6) Perform Taraveeh:
Ramadan gives you a bonus for ibadah in the form of taraveeh. So why not cash it fully J
7) Lailatul qadr:
“The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months”
This night possess a very special and important place as we all know Allah chose this night to reveal Holy Quran upon our beloved prophet (P.B.U.H)
According to a hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas (RA), the Prophet (PBUH) said:
“Seek it in the last ten days of Ramadan, when there are nine days left, and seven days left, and five days left”
And the greatest way to fully obtain the blessings and benefits of this night is by staying awake all night and performing prayers and doing ibadah.
And when you get such a high opportunity to perform incredible deeds then why miss it?
