The paradise has eight gates among which is a gate

calledRayyan. Only those who fast will enter it, Sahl
Sad narrated that the Prophet Pbuh said.
Whoever spends two portions in Allahs way will be
called from the gates of Paradise. O slave of Allah!
That is good! Whoever is from the people of salaah
will be called from the Gate of Salaah. Whoever is
frm the People of Jihaad will be called from the Gate
of Jihaad, whoever is from the People of Fasting will
be called from the Gate of Rayyaan and whoever is
from the People of Charity will be called from the
Gate of Charity. Abu bakr (RA) asked But will
anyone be called from all of these gates? The
Porphet ppbuh replied Yes, And I hope you will be
among them.

 Rayyaan

irrigation, watering, quenching of thirst.
...After the last of them enters it will be
closed. Whoever enters it will drink and
whoever drinks will never be thirsty again.
It emphasizes that it is only for those who
regularly fast.
It will be said where are those who fast?
They will get up and no one besides them
will enter. When they enter, the gate will be
closed and no one else will enter it. As per the
complete narration

 Encouragement

to fast as regular part of life.

Fast outside Ramadan six days of Shawwaal,
three days of every month, special days like
Arafat and Aashoora.
It should be a sincere compliance of Divine
commands rather than a traditional
performance of empty rituals in sha allah!!!

Young people! Whoever among

you is able should get married
because it is best for lowering the
gaze and protecting ones chastity.
And whoever is unable should fast
because it will cut his sexual
desires. Sahih al-Bukhaaree

It is referred to all unmarried people.

Abu-Zubayr quoted Jaabir saying, I heard the

prophet say, If any of you is impressed by a woman
and desire for her enters his heart, let him go to his
own women and sleep with her, for that will repel
what he feels. Sahih Muslim

Anas reported Prophet pbuh said I pray and sleep, I

fast and break my fast, and I marry women. Whoever
dislikes my Sunnah is not a true follower of mine.
Sahih al Bukhaaree

Aaishah RA quoted Prophet pbuh saying, Marriage

is from my sunnah. So whever doesnt go by my
Sunnah is not a true follower of mine. Marry Sahih Sunan
Ibn I Majah

When a servant of Allah marries he has

completed half of his religious obligations, and
he must fear Allaah in order to complete the
second half. Prophet pbuh said for showing the
importance of marriage. Sahih al Jaami as Sagheer

Able to marry sexual and financial acc to scholars.

It is haram for a person who is unable to have sexual
relationship and unable to support wife financially.
It is recommended for everyone who can have
children though there is no sexual relations desire.
Marry a loving and fertile woman, fr I will be proud
of your numbers among the nations.

Sunan Abu Dawood

 Marriage

lowers desires keep them

away from illicit sexual relations
The gaze illicit relations
So Quran instructs men and women to lower
gaze and protect their chastity.
Hijaab protects women from sexual
stare reduces the chances of flirtation.
Prophet pbuh cursed the women who leaves
her home perfumed as an adulterss untill she
returns to her home.

Those who are unable to marry should fast

besides their body parts must also fast to
maximize its rewards and purpose.
So a fasting person must avoid watching,
speaking about, or listening to lewd material.
The Prophet pbuh told Alee, O Alee! Dont
take a second look [at women], for while you are
not to blame for the first, you have no right to
the second.
Aboo Hurayrah reported that Prophet pbuh said,
The Fire is veiled by desires and the Paradise is
veiled by unpleasant things.

Whoever

does not resolve to

fast before the dawn will not
have a fast. Collected by at-Tirmithee,
an-Nasaaee and Aboo Daawood

To be rewarded the prescribed fasting should

only be for Allah rather than for losing weight,
expressing disapproval, conforming with the
custom and so on.
So the purpose should identified and corrected
before each fast in sha allah.
Though Ramadan is continual fasts, do not fall in
the trap of routine and lose consciousness of the
purpose behind the fast.
SO WE ARE REQUIRED TO INTENT THE FAST PRIOR
THE DAWN EACH DAY.
Intention is done at heart and its renewal will
help us attain taqwa which is its divinely
prescribed purpose.

 In

sha allah if you are already enrolled in the

Diploma program now is the time to attempt
the module three in sha allah.
Browse and see may be you like some other
guidance courses too in sha allah.
Ramadan is best month to begin good habit
of seeking knowledge in sha allah!
