Ramadan, Islam, Good Deeds

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "Allah said, 'All the deeds of Adam's sons (people) are for them, except fasting which is for Me, and I will give the reward for it.' Fasting is a shield or protection from the fire and from committing sins. If one of you is fasting, he should avoid sexual relation with his wife and quarreling, and if somebody should fight or quarrel with him, he should say, 'I am fasting.' By Him in Whose Hands my soul is' The unpleasant smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. There are two pleasures for the fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will meet his Lord; then he will be pleased because of his fasting."

[Sahih Bukhari, Chapter ‘Fasting', Volume 3, Book 31, Hadith 128]

Narrated Umm al−Ala: The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him)visited me while I was sick. He said: Be glad, Umm al−Ala' for Allah removes the sins of a Muslim for his illness as fire removes the dross of gold and silver.

(Abu Dawud Bk 20,No 3086)

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately. Always adopt a middle, moderate, regular course, whereby you will reach your target (of paradise). [Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 8,Hadith 470]

The Rights of a Muslim, Rewards, Ramadan

Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The rights of a Muslim on the Muslims are to follow the funeral processions, to accept invitation and to reply the sneezer. (Bukhari Vl 2,No 332)

Abud-Darda (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Shall I not inform you of the best of your actions which are the purest to your Rubb, which exalt you to the high ranks, which are more efficacious than spending gold and silver (in charity), and better for you than you should encounter your enemies whom you will smite their necks and they will smite your necks?'' They said, "Certainly.'' He (PBUH) said, "Remembrance of Allah the Exalted.''

[At-Tirmidhi]

Narated By 'Aisha : Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) used to pray eleven Rakat at night and that was his night prayer and each of his prostrations lasted for a period enough for one of you to recite fifty verses before Allah's Apostle raised his head. He also used to pray two Rakat (Sunna) before the (compulsory) Fajr prayer and then lie down on his right side till the Muadh-dhin came to him for the prayer.

[Sahih Al-Bukhari Volumn 002, Book 016, Hadith Number 108]
