It is narrated that once, when Ramadhan was approaching, the Holy Prophet Muhammad *Peace be upon him* gave a sermon in which he explained to Muslims about the importance of Ramadhan. He advised Muslims how to behave while fasting so that their fast would be accepted and they would receive the Mercy of Allah. Read and think about some of the things he said:

“O people! The month of Allah has come with His mercies and blessings. This is the month that is the best of months according to Allah. Its days are among the best of days. Its nights are among the best of nights.

While fasting, remember the hunger and thirst on the Day of Judgement.

Guard your tongues against unworthy words, and your eyes from unworthy scenes, and your ears from sounds that should not be heard.

Do raise your hands at the time of prayer, as it is the best time for asking His mercy.

O People!… your back is breaking under the heavy load of your sins, so prostate youself before Him for long intervals and make it lighter.

ANyone who treats others well during this month, Allah will send His mercy on him in Quiyamat, and anyone who mistreats others in this month, Allah will keep him away from His mercy.

O People! The gates of paradise remain open in this month. Do pray that the gates may not be closed on you. While the gates of Hell are closed, do pray to Allah that these gates may never be opened.”
