5 Reasons Why Ramadan is a Noble Month, Many Blessings to be Attained in it

1. Part of the Pillars of Islam

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The month of Ramadan is the month in which Muslims are obligated to observe the fasting ritual. It is known that fasting is a part of the pillars of Islam. This is what makes the month of Ramadan a very noble month. Because within it, the obligation to observe the fourth pillar of Islam, which is fasting, is enforced."

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "Islam is built upon five pillars: bearing witness (shahada) that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, establishing prayer, giving zakat, performing Hajj (pilgrimage to the House of Allah), and fasting in the month of Ramadan."

"(HR. Bukhari and Muslim)"

2. Syahrul Quran

The reason why the month of Ramadan is considered noble is because the holy book of Muslims, the Quran, was revealed in this month. Specifically, on the 17th of Ramadan. This historical event occurred in the month of Ramadan.

Allah SWT said: "The month of Ramadan is (the month) in which the Quran was revealed, as a guidance for mankind and clear proofs of guidance and criterion (to distinguish between right and wrong)."

(QS. Al-Baqarah: 185)

"Allah SWT praises the month of Ramadan among other months, by choosing it as the month of the revelation of the Al-Quran Al-Azhim."

"(Ibn Kathir in the Book of Ibn Kathir's Interpretation)"

3. The gates of Hell are closed, but the gates of Heaven are wide open.

The reason why the month of Ramadan is considered noble is because the devils are chained in hell. Meanwhile, the gates of heaven are wide open. Therefore, in this month, Muslims are encouraged to increase their worship and good deeds. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "When Ramadan arrives, the gates of heaven are opened, the gates of hell are closed, and the devils are chained." (HR. Bukhari and Muslim)

4. There is a Special Night

Another reason why the month of Ramadan is a noble month is because it contains a very special night. That night is called Lailatul Qadar or a night better than a thousand months.

Allah SWT said, "Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We are the Warner." (QS. Ad Dukhan: 3). Therefore, Muslims spend a lot of their time drawing closer to Allah during this noble month. Especially, during the last 10 nights of Ramadan, which is evidence of the specialness of this month compared to others.

5. When Prayers Are Answered

Praying during the month of Ramadan is a very precious time in which prayers have a great chance of being granted by Allah. One special time is before breaking the fast. In addition, throughout the day while fasting, from dawn until sunset, is also a very good time to pray. Because praying during Ramadan fasting has a special power that makes it more likely to be granted by Allah.

Imam Nawawi rahimahullah said:

"\u201cIt is recommended for those who are fasting to pray for their needs in the hereafter and in this world, as well as for matters they like, and do not forget to pray for other Muslims.\u201d"

Demikian itulah 5 alasan bulan Ramadhan is a noble month compared to other months. With the various virtues of the month of Ramadhan, there is no reason for Muslims to waste the opportunity to increase worship and get closer to the Almighty. By knowing the virtues of the month of Ramadhan, it is hoped that our spirit in carrying out worship and doing good to others will increase.
