The document discusses various fasting practices of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It provides hadith narrations about the Prophet fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, the first 10 days of Muharram, Fridays, and the "white days" of each lunar month. It also mentions hadith stating the Prophet used to fast in Sha'ban and encourage fasting before Ramadan, but not in the last half of Sha'ban. The document seeks to explain the type of love required for the Prophet according to hadith and verses from the Quran.

2. The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves,
and his wives are [in the position of] their mothers. And those
of [blood] relationship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the
decree of Allah than the [other] believers and the emigrants,
except that you may do to your close associates a kindness
[through bequest]. That was in the Book inscribed. (33:6)

3. ح دَََّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَََنََ شُ عَيْبٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ال زِ نََدِ، عَنِ
الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِِ هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أنَّ رَسُولَ الَّلَِّ صلى الله
عليه وسلم قَالَ " فَوَالََِّّي نَفْسِِ بِيَدِهِ لاَ يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُُْ حَتََّّ أكُونَ
لَيْهِ مِنْ وَالِِِهِ وَوَلَِِهِ
ِ
أَحَبَّ ا "
Narrated Abu Huraira:
"Allah's Messenger ( ) صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid, "By Him in Whose Hands
my life is, none of you will have faith till he loves me more
than his father and his children." (Sahih al-Bukhari)

لَيْهِ مِنْ أَهْلِِِ وَمَالِِ
ِ
حَتََّّ أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ ا وَالنَّاسِ أَجَْْعِينَ " .
It is reported on the authority of Anas that the Messenger of Allah
صلى الله عليه وسلم( ) said:
No bondsman believes, and, in the hadith narrated by Abdul Warith, no
person believes, till I am dearer to him than the members of his household,
his wealth and the whole of mankind.
(Sahih Muslim)

5. O Prophet, tell them plainly, "If your fathers and your sons, and your brothers
and your wives, and your near and dear ones and the wealth which you have
acquired and the trade you fear may decline and the homes which delight
you-if all these things-are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and the
struggle in His Way, then wait till Allah passes His judgment on you; for Allah
does not guide the wicked people" . (9:24)

We were with the Prophet ( ) صلى الله عليه وسلمand he was holding the hand of `Umar bin Al-
Khattab. `Umar said to Him, "O Allah's Messenger ( !) صلى الله عليه وسلمYou are dearer to me
than everything except my own self." The Prophet ( ) صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid, "No, by Him in
Whose Hand my soul is, (you will not have complete faith) till I am dearer to you than
your own self." Then `Umar said to him, "However, now, by Allah, you are dearer to
me than my own self."
The Prophet ( ) صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid, "Now, O `Umar, (now you are a believer).
(Sahih al-Bukhari 6632)

7. What is the love for the
prophet ?صلي الله عليه وسلم
“Whoever gives life to my sunnah has loved
me and whoever loves me will be with me in
the garden”.
(At-Tirmidi)

الله عليه وسلم " ا ذَا بَقِيَ نِصْفٌ مِنْ شَعْ
بَانَ فَلاَ تَصُومُوا "
ِ
Abu Hurairah narrated that :
the Messenger of Allah said: "When a half of Sha'ban
remains then do not fast."
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 738)

16. Fasting before Ramadan
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ ا بْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِ
شَامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يََْيََ بْنُ أَبِِ كَ ثِيٍْ، عَنْ أَبِِ
سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِِ ِ
هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ ال نَّ ب صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" لاَ يَتَقَدَّمَنَّ أَحَدُكُُْ رَمَضَانَ بِصَوْمِ يَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ، ا لاَّ أَنْ يَكُو
نَ رَجُلٌ كََنَ
ِ
.يَصُومُ صَوْمَهُ فَلْيَصُمْ ذَلَِِ الْيَوْمَ "
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"None of you should fast a day or two before the month of Ramadan
unless he has the habit of fasting (Nawafil) (and if his fasting
coincides with that day) then he can fast that day."
(Sahih al-Bukhari)

17. Fasting in Ramadan
O you who have believed! decreed upon you is
fasting as it was decreed upon those before you
that you may become righteous (2:183)

19. The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a
guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.
So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and
whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days.
Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and
[wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that
[to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.
(2:185)
Who should be fasting?

20. What else is special about
Ramadan?
Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of
Decree. And what can make you know what is the
Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than
a thousand months. (97:1-3)

21. Because of this
importance of Ramadan
the Salaf used to pray

22. Make Dua

23. Start counting the
days;
start preparing
yourself

24. حَدَّثَنَا يََْيََ بْنُ بُكَيٍْْ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِِ ال لَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَََنِِ
سَالِمٌ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَُُرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ سَِعْتُ رَسُولَ الَّلَِّ صلى الله عليه
ا نْ غَُُّ ع ِ
وسلم يَقُولُ " ذَا رَأَ يْ
ذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَصُومُوا، وَا
ِ
ِ
تُمُوهُ فَأَفْطِرُوا، فَا لَيْكُُْ فَاقْدُرُوا
. وَقَالَ غَيُْْهُ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ حَدَّثَنِِ عُقَ يلٌ وَيُونسُُ لِهِلاَلِ رَمَضَانَ لَُ "
Narrated By Ibn Umar : I heard Allah's Apostle صلى الله عليه وسلم saying,
"When you see the crescent (of the month of Ramadan), start
fasting, and when you see the crescent (of the month of Shawwal),
stop fasting; and if the sky is overcast (and you can't see It) then
regard the crescent (month) of Ramadan (as of 30 days)".
(Al-Bukhari: 1901)

26. When you see the crescent, say
“Allah is the greatest. O Allah, let the
crescent loom above us in safety, faith,
peace, and Islam, and in agreement with
all that You love and pleases You. Our
Lord and your Lord is Allah.”

28. The uniqueness of Ramadan
حَدَّثَنِِ يََْيََ بْنُ بُكَيٍْْ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِِ اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ
أَخْبَََنِِ ابْنُ أَبِِ أَنسٍَ، مَوْلََ التَّيْمِ يينَ أَنَّ أَبََهُ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنهَُّ، سَِ عَ أَبََ هُرَيْرَةَ ـ
رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ الَّلَِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " ا
ذَا دَخَلَ شَهْرُ
ِ
رَمَضَانَ فُتِ حَتْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ، وَغُلِ قتْ أَبْوَابُ جَََنَََّّ، وَسُلْسِلَتِ الشَّ يَاطِينُ "
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of
Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
“When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the
gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are put in chains.”
(Agreed upon)

29. What is Ramadan?
• Ramadan is a period of fasting, reflection, devotion,
generosity and sacrifice observed by Muslims around the
world. While major holidays of other faiths have largely
become commercialized events, Ramadan retains its intense
spiritual meaning.
• The word "Ramadan" comes from the Arabic root word for
"parched thirst" and "sun-baked ground“. It is expressive of
the hunger and thirst felt by those who spend the month in
fasting. As opposed to other holidays, when people often
indulge, Ramadan is by nature a time of sacrifice.

30. Fasting is a pillar of Islam
حَدَّثَنِِ زُهَيُْْ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَُُ ارَةَ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْقَعْقَاعِ - عَنْ أَبِِ زُرْعَةَ،
عَنْ أَبِِ هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الَّلَِّ صلى الله ع ليه وسلم " سَلُونِِ " فَهَابُوهُ أَنْ
يَسْأَلُوهُ . فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ رُكْبَت يهِ . سْلاَمُ
فَقَالَ يََ رَسُولَ الَّلَِّ مَا الا قَالَ " لاَ
ِ
تُشِْْكُ بَِلَّلَِّ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلاَةَ وَتُؤْتِ الزَّكََةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ " . قَالَ صَ دَقْتَ
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah
صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
“Ask me (about matters pertaining to religion), but they (the Companions of
the Holy Prophet) were too much overawed out of profound respect for
him to ask him (anything). In the meanwhile a man came there, and sat
near his knees and said:
Messenger of Allah, what al-lslam is? -to which he (the Holy Prophet) replied:
You must not associate anything with Allah, and establish prayer, pay the
poor-rate (Zakat) and observe (the fasts ) of Ramadan. He said: You (have)
told the truth…….”
(Sahih Muslim )

32. Cont.
Ibn ‘Abbas said:
‘Islam and the principles of religion
are tied together by three things:
Witnessing that there is no deity
except Allah, the prayer, and fasting
during Ramadan.’

33. The importance of Ramadan
Waathilah ibn al-Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allaah (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) said:
“The Scriptures of Ibraaheem were sent down on the first of the
month of Ramadaan. The Tawraat was sent down on the sixth of
Ramadaan. The Injeel was sent down on the thirteenth of
Ramadaan. The Zaboor was sent down on the eighteenth of
Ramadaan, and the Qur’aan was sent down on the twenty-fourth
of Ramadaan.
[Ahmad and by al-Tabaraani in al-Mu’jam al-Kabeer -
Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah , 1575]

ِ
Narrated By Abu Hurairah : Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'All the deeds of Adam's sons (people)
are for them, except fasting which is for Me, and I will give the reward for it.' Fasting is a shield or
protection from the fire and from committing sins. If one of you is fasting, he should avoid sexual
relation with his wife and quarrelling, and if somebody should fight or quarrel with him, he should
say, 'I am fasting.' By Him in Whose Hands my soul is' The unpleasant smell coming out from the
mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. There are two
pleasures for the fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when
he will meet his Lord; then he will be pleased because of his fasting.“
(Al-Bukhari)

Narrated By Ibn 'Abbas : The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was the most generous
amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadan
when Gabriel visited him, and Gabriel used to meet him on every night of
Ramadan till the end of the month. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to recite the
Holy Qur'an to Gabriel, and when Gabriel met him, he used to be more
generous than a fast wind (which causes rain and welfare). (Al-Bukhari)

40. Qur’an in Ramadan

41. قرأ ن پر ايمان لانے كے تقاضے
Learning - تعليم
Practice - تعميل
Preaching - تبليغ
Implementation - تنفيذ

42. Learning تعليم
Our Lord, and send among them a messenger
from themselves who will recite to them Your
verses and teach them the Book and wisdom and
purify them. Indeed, You are the Exalted in
Might, the Wise.
(2:129)

43. Learning تعليم
Certainly did Allah confer [great] favor upon the
believers when He sent among them a Messenger
from themselves, reciting to them His verses and
purifying them and teaching them the Book and
wisdom, although they had been before in manifest
error. (3:164)

44. Those to whom We have given the Book recite it
with its true recital. They [are the ones who]
believe in it. And whoever disbelieves in it - it is
they who are the losers.

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلمadded, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell coming out from the
mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. (Allah
says about the fasting person),
'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The fast is for Me. So I will reward (the

offer their prayers, will be called from the gate of the prayer; and whoever was amongst the people
who used to participate in Jihad, will be called from the gate of Jihad; and whoever was amongst
those who used to observe fasts, will be called from the gate of Ar-Raiyan; whoever was amongst
those who used to give in charity, will be called from the gate of charity."
Abu Bakr said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلمNo distress or need will
befall him who will be called from those gates. Will there be any one who will be called from all

Messenger of Allah, except for during the last ten (nights); for indeed I
heard him say:
'Search for it when nine remain, or; when seven remain, or; when five
remain, or; during the last three nights.'" He (Uyainah) said: "During
the twenty (nights) of Ramadan, Abu Bakrah used to perform Salat just
as he performed Salat during the rest of the year. But when the (last)
ten began, he would struggle (performing more Salat during the
night).“

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed i'tikaf in the middle ten days of
Ramadan to seek Lailat-ul-Qadr before it was made manifest to him. When (these nights)
were over, he commanded to strike the tent. Then it was made manifest to him that (Lailat-ul-
Qadr) was in the last ten nights (of Ramadan), and commanded to pitch the tent (again).
He then came to the people and said: O people, Lailat-ul-Qadr was made manifest to me and
I came out to inform you about it that two persons came contending with each other and
there was a devil along with them and I forgot it. So seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan.
Seek it on the ninth, on the seventh and on the fifth. I (one of the narrators) said: Abu Sa'id,
you know more than us about numbers. He said: Yes, indeed we have better right than you. I
said: What is this ninth, seventh, and fifth? He said: When twenty-one (nights are over) and
the twenty-second begins, it is the ninth, and when twenty-three (nights) are over, that
which follows (the last night) is the seventh, and when twenty-five nights are over, what
follows it is fifth. Ibn Khallad said: Instead of the word Yahliqan (contending), he said
Yakhtasiman, (they are disputing). (Sahih Muslim)
