"O People! The month of Allah (Ramadan) has
come with its mercies, blessings and forgiveness. Allah has decreed this month
the best of all months. The days of this month are the best among the days and
the nights are the best among the nights and the hours during Ramadan are the
best among the hours.
This is a month in which you have been invited by
Him (to fast and pray). Allah has honoured you in it. In every breath you take
is a reward of Allah, your sleep is worship, your good deeds are accepted and
your invocations are answered.
Therefore, you must invoke your Lord in all
earnestness with hearts free from sin and evil, and pray that Allah may help
you to keep fast, and to recite the Holy Qur'an. Indeed! Miserable is the one
who is deprived of Allah's forgiveness in this great month.
