Sunnah's to Follow in Ramadan

Sunnah's to Follow in Ramadan

1. Waking up to have suhūr, even if it is something little. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "Eat suhūr for in suhūr there is blessing." [Narrated by al-Bukhārī and by Muslim]

2. Not delaying the iftār. The Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said: "The people will remain upon goodness as long as they hasten in breaking their fasts" [Narrated by al-Bukhārī and by Muslim]

3. Supplicating throughout the day and night, especially during iftār time. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "Three prayers are not rejected: the prayer of a father, the prayer of a fasting person, and the prayer of a traveller." [Narrated by al-Bayhaqi 3/345]

4. Spending the nights in prayer, as well as encouraging the family to do so. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "Whoever establishes prayers during the nights of Ramadhān out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, all his past sins will be forgiven." [Narrated by al-Bukhārī]

5. Being generous and feeding the people iftār. The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever gives iftār to one who is fasting will have a reward like his, without detracting from the reward of the person fasting." [Narrated by al-Bukhārī and by Muslim]

6. Staying away from all immoral acts, especially those of the tongue. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "Fasting is not abstaining from eating and drinking alone, but it is also abstaining from vain speech and foul language. If one of you is being cursed or annoyed, he should say: I am fasting, I am fasting." [Narrated by al-Bukhārī and by Muslim]

7. Performing 'umrah. The Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said: "Perform 'umrah when Ramadhān comes, for 'umrah in Ramadhān is equal to hajj (in reward)." [Narrated by al-Bukhārī]
