Conducted Messenger In The Month Of Ramadan

The great guest who blessed be returned to us. His arrival is a comparatively rare, only once a year to grow deep longing in the hearts of Muslims. Elongated neck and eyes looked glazed while awaiting heart beat faster whenever the hell hilalnya published.

That is Ramadan, the month which is very well known and really awaited her presence by Muslims.

His glory is enshrined in the al-Qur'ân and through word of strands Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Allah Almighty makes it full of goodness, from the beginning to the end of Ramadan. Allah Almighty says

شهر رمضان الذي أنزل فيه القرآن هدى للناس وبينات من الهدى والفرقان

"(Some of the appointed day it is) the month of Ramadan, the month in which reduced (beginning) of al-Qur'ân as a guidance for mankind and explanations of the instructions and the difference (between the right and the false)." [Al -Baqarah / 2:185]

The soul is fulfilled by faith will certainly be prepared to achieve the virtue and blessing that is therein.

In this month Allah Almighty down al-Qur'ân. If the month of Ramadan has no other virtue than the decline of al-Qur'ân then it is more than enough. Then what if coupled with a variety of other virtues such as forgiveness, exaltation of the Faithful, doubled the reward of all goodness, and on every night of Ramadan, Allah Almighty frees many souls from hell fire.

In this glorious month, the gates of Heaven opened wide and the gates of Hell are closed, the devils are also chained. In this month there were two angels who come down and cried, "O seeker of goodness, welcome! O seekers of ugliness, stop!"

In the month of Ramadan there is a night greater than one thousand months. People who do not get it means he was blocked from the good that very much.

Following the instructions of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam that obedience is noble in doing something very urgent, especially during Ramadan. Because the deeds committed by a servant will not be accepted unless he ikhlash and follow the instructions Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. So, both are pillars of the receipt of good deeds. Both are like two wings which are complementary. A bird can not fly with one wing.

Through this concise text, let us try to study the behavior of the Prophet in Ramadan so that we can imitate him. Because people are not above the instructions Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam in the world he will not be with him sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam in the hereafter. The highest happiness will be grabbed by someone when he followed the instructions Prophet outwardly and inwardly.

So the righteous deeds are the fruit of useful knowledge.
