On Ramadan’s table - The month of night standing prayers

Allâh commends his fasting slaves who stand up (for prayer)at night when People are asleep.

For that Allâh says:(And those who spend the night in worship of their Lord,prostrate and standing.)[Sûrat Al-Furqân,verse 64]

(Their sides forsake their beds, to invoke their Lord in fear and hope, and they spend(in charity in Allâh’s Cause)out of what We have bestowed on them.(16)No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do.(17))[Sûrat As-Sajdah,verse 16-17]

And The Prophet (Peace be upon him) says:

“There is a room in the Paradise which its exterior can be seen from its interior, and its interior can be seen from its exterior.”

Said: “O Messenger of Allâh,For who it will be ?.”

He says:“For who spoke with good words, fed food and stood up(for prayer)at night when People are asleep.

The night prayers in Ramadan have more advantages than those in the other days and nights.

And The Prophet(Peace be upon him)says: “Whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith,and hoping for a reward from Allah,then all his previous sins will be forgiven."

May Allâh have mercy on the women who prepared the food,the beverage and the sleeping place for her husband when he came..

And she says to him:”You need something?"

He says:”No.”

Then she says:“May I stand up this night to pray?”

Her husband says to her:"You will not take a rest?

She says:“How do a person sleeps and he knows that the one he loves most (Allah) is Ever Living and never sleeps..”

Hassan El Bassry has a brown face,and whenever he met his students he became more bright and more beautiful.

Then they said to him:”How you increase your brightness?"

He says:”We are people who stay with Allâh in the darkness of the night,so Allâh gives us from his light and his beauty”.

O Allâh! Let Ramadan be a witness for us not over us...

Ameen... Ya Rabb... Ameen... Ameen...

May Allah bless our Master Muhammad, his family and his companions, and grant them peace…
