Ubaadah Ibn Saamit (Radiallaho Anho) reported
that Rasulullah (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam)
one day said when Ramadhan had come near,
The month of Ramadhan, the blessings has come upon you,
wherein Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) turns towards you
and sends down to you His special blessing,
forgives your faults,
accepts Dua,
appreciates your competing for the greatest good
and boasts to the angels about you.
So show to Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) your righteousness;
for truly, the most pitiable and unfortunate one is he who is
deprived of Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala) 's mercy in this month.
