Golden opportunities and forgotten treasures

Golden opportunities and forgotten treasures

How needful we are in Ramadan to take practical measures and utilize the golden opportunities and forgotten treasures that can bring us closer to Allah The Almighty. After doing them, one feels that he has done something small but gained many benefits, and received rewards like mountains from doing simple actions that only require a limited effort, aspiring for the Mercy and Paradise of Allah The Almighty.

 

Reward

Allah will keep him at a seventy years’ distance from the Hellfire.

A palm tree will be planted for him in Paradise. 
Who performs Wudhoo’ (ablution) then says: Ash-hadu alla ilaaha illa-Allah wahdahu la shareeka lah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu was rasooluh (I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah Alone, He has no partner or associate, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger)
The eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him and he will enter through whichever one he chooses.
Whoever says: Laa ilaaha illa-Allah wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god but Allah Alone, He has no partner or associate. His is the sovereignty and to Him be praise, and He Is over all things Competent) one hundred times in a day
will have (a reward) equivalent to freeing ten slaves, one hundred Hasanaat (good deeds) will be added to his record for him and one hundred Sayyi’aat (bad deeds) will be erased from his record, and he will be protected from Shaytaan (Satan) for that day until the evening comes. No one can do anything better than what he did except one who does more than that.

is equivalent to performing Hajj or to performing Hajj with the Messenger of Allah,  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ).
Whoever gives food to a fasting person to break his fast
will have a reward like his, without that detracting from the reward of the one who fasted.
Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal
it will be as if he fasted for the entire year.

will receive one of the treasures of Paradise.
Whoever says: “Radheetu Billaahi rabban wa bil-Islami deenan wa bi Muhammadin  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) Nabiyyan wa Rasoolan (I am content with Allah as my Lord, and with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allah exalt his mention ) as my Prophet and Messenger.”

he will be guarded till the evening and till the morning.
