Ramadan

A name chosen by Allah (S.W.T) himself for the month of fasting. The rest of the names in the hijri calendar are chosen by the Arabs. It’s the only name of the month which is mentioned in the Holy Quran!

Meaning: To burn (jala dena)

·        The sins that we have done in the last 324 or 325 days of the year (Hijri Calendar) starts to burn from the 1st day of Ramadan & as the 30 days of Ramadan is over, the person becomes as pure as a new born.

Benefits:

For every deed of yours, you’ll get 700 times the benefit. So if you spend Re.1/- as charity, you will receive 700 neki.

·        Tarawih: For every sajda in tarawih, 1500 neki i.e. 60000 neki a day.

·        Lailatu Qadr – The night (21^st, 23^rd, 25^th, 27^th, & 29^th) to seek forgiveness from Allah (S.W.T)
