Ramadan is a month full of blessings. It is not just a month of fasting but also a golden chance to spiritually grow through patience and acts of kindness. Muslims around the world see Ramadan as a special time to seek forgiveness, acceptance and deliverance. They believe it is a gift from Allah to cleanse their souls.
The reward of every worship is increased as it is a month of good deeds and blessings from Allah Almighty. This month is a great opportunity for us to increase our Ibadah so that Allah Almighty forgives all our sins and bless us with his ‘Rehmat’. We are usually unable to take out time for the recitation of Holy Quran. Ramadan gives us an opportunity to reestablish our connection with Allah by reading Quran.
Important Dhikar
Some important Dhikrs that can be recited repeatedly in Ramadan are:
لَّا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
“There is no Allah but you; you are glorified. Indeed, I am from wrongdoers”
Astaghfirullah ( استغفر الله ) :
“I seek forgiveness from God “
سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم
“Glory be to Allah and All praise is due to Him, Glory be to Allah The greatest”
حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
“Allah (Alone)is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs”
لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِالله
“None has the right to be worshipped except Allah”
Taraweeh and Tahajjud
Moreover, Tarawih prayer in Ramadan also helps us increase our Ibadah as we get a chance to recite Quran in our prayer. As we have a habit of staying awake till suhoor, praying tahajjud can help us build our connection with Allah and this way we can increase our Ibadah and ask for forgiveness. As Muslims, one is aware of the belief that Allah is the best sustainer therefore, Allah urges Muslims to pray in the middle of the night and ask for whatever their heart desires.
We tend to become more charitable and give Sadqa unlike other months when we are not habitual. Ramadan is the only month in which the Satan is locked up and we can do extra Duas and dhikr because rewards are higher in this month so don’t forget to utilize the blessings of this holy month!
