Palace with portal of gold
Sayyidunā Abū Sa'īd Khudrī رضي الله عنه has narrated that the Holy Prophet ﷺ has said, 'On the first night of Ramadan, the portals of the skies and Paradise are opened which remain open until the last night (of the month). So if anyone offers Ṣalāh in any night of this month, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will reward him with 1,500 virtues for every Sajdah (prostration) and make a palace of red rubies for him that will have 60,000 gates. The gates will have hinges of gold that will be embroidered with red rubies. Thus, the one who fasts on the first day of Ramadan will be forgiven for his sins until the last day of the month and 70,000 angels will ask for his forgiveness from morning till evening. Each time he prostrates during the day or at night, he will be granted a tree in Heaven and each tree is so huge that a horse rider can ride under its shadow for 500 years.’
(Shu'ab-ul-Īmān, pp. 314, vol. 3, Ḥadīs 3635)
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ Dear Islamic brothers! What an enormous favour our Ḥannān and Mannān Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has bestowed upon us by granting us this blessed month for the sake of His Beloved Rasūl صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّمَ! It is the month in which all the portals of Heaven are opened and the reward for good deeds is greatly increased. According to the foregoing Ḥadīs, the one who offers Ṣalāh in any of the nights of Ramadan will be granted the reward of 1,500 good deeds for every Sajdah he performs. Further, there will be a magnificent Heavenly palace as well. This blessed Ḥadīs also contains glad tidings that 70,000 angels make Du‘ā for the forgiveness of the fasting Muslims from morning till evening.
Dear Islamic brothers! الحمد للّٰه عَزَّوَجَلَّ The mindset of attaining the blessings of Ramadan is
developed by adopting the company of devotees of Rasūl who are associated with
Dawat-e-Islami, a global & non-political religious movement of the Quran
and Sunnah. Otherwise, bad company leads many people to committing sins even in
this auspicious month. Let me tell you about a singer who was at one time
drowning in the ocean of sins but was rescued by the Madanī environment of
Dawat-e-Islami.
I was a singer
An
Islamic brother of Orangi Town (Bāb-ul-Madīnah, Karachi) has stated:
Unfortunately, I was a singer. I was ruining my life in musical concerts. I was
so heedless that I neither offered Ṣalāh nor felt guilty about my sins.
Fortunately, making individual effort, a responsible Islamic brother convinced me to attend the 3 day Sunnah-Inspiring Ijtimā' held in 1424 A.H., 2003 in Ṣaḥrā-e-Madīnah near the Toll Plaza, Super Highway, Bāb-ul-Madīnah, Karachi. On the last day, we all attended a very passionate and heart-rending Du'ā that made me feel guilty about my evil deeds. I could not control my emotions and burst into tears, which softened my heart.
الحمد للہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I joined
Dawat-e-Islami, repented of attending musical concerts and began to travel with
Madanī Qāfilahs. On 25th December 2004,
as I was about to leave home to travel with a Madanī Qāfilah, I received a
phone call from my younger sister who was very sad. She gave me the news of her
new born blind baby girl and told me that doctors remarked that her baby would
never be able to see. As she was talking, she could not hold herself back and
began to cry. I encouraged her by saying that I would pray for her baby in the
Madanī Qāfilah, اِنْ
شَاءَ اللّٰہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
During the Madanī Qāfilah, I made
supplications myself and asked Rasūl’s devotees of the Madanī Qāfilah to pray
as well. It was my second day back from the Madanī Qāfilah, I received another
phone call from my sister but this time she sounded extremely happy. She told
me that her baby Mahak had got her eyesight, الحمد للہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ!
Amazed, the doctors remarked they don’t know as to how it happened because they
didn’t have any cure for it. الحمد للہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ! At present,
I am blessed with the opportunity to carry out the Madanī activities of
Dawat-e-Islami as a member of the ‘Alāqāī
Mushāwarat in Bāb-ul-Madīnah, Karachi.
Poem
Translation:
Dear Islamic brothers! Did you see how
great the Madanī environment of Dawat-e-Islami is? Many people who were
previously wicked and impious are now leading their lives following the Sunnah
of Beloved Rasūl ﷺ owing to the blessing
of joining the Madanī environment of Dawat-e-Islami. The aforementioned
incident also highlights the significance of travelling with Madanī Qāfilahs.
As the troubles and problems of some people are solved due to travelling in
Madanī Qāfilahs, the troubles and difficulties of the afterlife will also be
relieved due to the intercession of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet ﷺ, اِنْ شَاءَ اللّٰهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
Five special blessings
Sayyidunā Jābir Bin ‘Abdullāh رضي الله تعالى عنه has narrated that the Beloved and Blessed
Prophet ﷺ has stated:
“In Ramadan,
my Ummah has been gifted five such things which were not given to any other
Prophet عليه السلام before me:”
1. On the first night of Ramadan,
Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ showers special mercy
upon them and the one upon whom Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ
showers special mercy will never be punished.
2. In the evening, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ likes the smell emanating from their
mouths (due to hunger) more than even musk.
3. Angels pray for their
forgiveness every night and day.
4. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ orders Heaven to be adorned for His
(righteous) people and says:
“Soon they will get rid of the grief of the world and find solace in
My house and My bounties.”
5. On the last night of Ramadan, Allah
عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgives them all.
Standing up, a person asked,
“Yā
Rasūlallāh ﷺ! Is that Laila-tul-Qadr?”
He ﷺ
replied,
“No. Do
you not see that a labourer is given his wage when he finishes his job?”
(Attarghīb Wattarhīb, pp.
56, vol. 2, Ḥadīs 7)
