THE SPIRIT OF RAMADHAAN
The blessed month of Ramadhaan holds a very
special place in the heart of every Muslim, and is eagerly anticipated by one and all. While most people are aware of the abundant blessings, special mercies and tremendous rewards that are on offer in this auspicious period, not all manage to capitalize on this opportunity and improve their relationship with their Creator during this month of mercy.
In this regard, it is the pious servants of Allah Ta‘ala who truly understand the objective of Ramadhaan and the crucial role it plays in the life of a Muslim. They thus value every second of this blessed month and strive to gain maximum goodness and blessings from it.
In order for us to benefit in this month and make significant spiritual progress, it is vital for us to have the correct mindset so that we understand the true spirit of Ramadhaan. This booklet is a collection of various articles from the Al-Haadi newsletter of the madrasah which were written by Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Ilyaas Patel Saheb
(daamat barakaatuhum). It is hoped that these articles will assist in shedding light on different dimensions of the spirit of Ramadhaan.
Since the articles have been gathered from the Al- Haadi newsletters that were written through various years, on different occasions, some degree of repetition in the articles is to be expected.
May Allah Ta‘ala accept it, out of His grace and mercy, and make it a means of tremendous benefit for the Ummah.

TARAWEEH... IN THE GOLDEN ERA OF ISLAM
[A Sahaabi is a Muslim who was blessed with seeing Rasulullah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) – A Tâbi’ee is a Muslim who saw a Sahâbi - A Tâbi’ Tâbi’ee is a Muslim who saw a Tâbi’ee]
LENGTHENING OF THE TARAWEEH SALAAH
▶Saa’ib bin Yazeed (rahmatullaahi ‘alayh) says:
In the days of Sayyiduna Umar (radhiyallaahu ‘anhu), the Taraweeh Salaah used to be so lengthy, that some of
us had to take support from our walking sticks to remain standing! (The infirm and the sick)
He adds: The Taraweeh used to terminate in the early hours of the morning, just a little before Subh Saadiq!
(Muwatta Imam Maalik - awjazul masaalik 2/300)
▶In the noble era of Sayyiduna Uthmaan (radhiyallaahu anhu) too, they used to take support from their walking sticks, due to the long Taraweeh Salaat.
(Rigorously Authenticated-Baihaqee–sanaduhu saheeh-aathaarus sunan pg.251) ▶Aboo Bakr Ansaari Bukhaari (rahmatullaahi ‘alayh), who passed away around 120 A.H., says:
Upon completing Taraweeh, we used to return home and rush the servants to bring the food for sehri, since very little time was left before Subh Saadiq!
(Muwatta Imaam Maalik - awjazul masaalik 2/308)
AS SIDDIQ | Eminently Truthful

120 YEAR OLD IMAAM PERFORMING ALL 20 RAKA’AAT OF TARAWEEH SALAAH!
▶ Suwayd bin Ghafalah (rahmatullaahi ‘alayh) was a Taabi’ee. He arrived in Madeenah Munawwarah the day Rasulullah sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam was buried.
Waleed bin Ali says:
Suwayd bin Ghafalah (rahmatullaahi ‘alayh) reached the age of 120 and he still used to be our Imaam in the
Taraweeh Salaah! He used to perform all 20 raka’aat himself!
(Authenticated -Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah 2/287; Bayhaqi isnaaduhu hasan–aathaarus sunan pg. 253)
▶ Abu Rajaa ‘Utaaridee (rahmatullaahi ‘alayh) was also a Taabi’ee. He passed away at the ripe old age of 120.
He himself says: “I was so frail and weak that I could not even walk. People used to carry me from my home to the Masjid!”
He would then lead the Taraweeh Salaah, reciting about 30 aayaat in each raka’aat, which if multiplied by 20, will equal to about 3 paras (juz) of the Qur’aan Kareem!
(Mukhtasar qiyaamil layl-qiyaam ramadhaan pg.12)
So the day you are feeling tired or a little lazy, just think of the lengthy Taraweeh Salaah of your pious predecessors!

THE REWARD OF I’TIKAAF
Rasulullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم has said,
"The reward of I'etikaaf in the last ten days of Ramadaan is equal to having performed two Hajjs and two Umrahs."
('Baihaqi', 'Siraajul Muneer' volume 1 page 220, 'At- Targheeb' volume 2 page 149)
Only the appreciative take pleasure from this Hadeeth. If one learns that from a certain transaction one will earn a lucrative profit then we will make every effort to procure even a tenth of that profit. However when it is a matter concerning Deen then we award it no value which is why we are not moved when we hear of great rewards which are derived from certain actions.
It has been narrated in another Hadeeth, the Hadeeth is quite lengthy but the summary of it is, "Whoever spends one day in I'etikaaf, Allaah
distances him from Jahannam three times greater than the distance between the earth and sky”, meaning he will not even perceive the presence of Jahannam. Still how many of us are actually inspired after hearing all these virtues and rewards to spend our time in I'etikaaf or even prepare ourselves to do so the following year?
The easiest way of earning this reward is for a person to make the intention of I'etikaaf when he comes to the Masjid to perform his five daily Salaah. As long as he will remain in the Masjid, even if he remains completely silent, he will receive the reward for I'etikaaf. If he happens to recite the Quraan or remember Allaah, etc. then he will receive a separate reward for doing so. ('Ramadaan kia he? Page 144)

LAYLATUL QADR
By Moulana Yunus Patel RA
Allah Ta’ala’s love for His Prophet Muhammad
(Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-Sallam) is clearly evident
and manifest in many Ayaat (verses) of the Qur`aan Shareef. Additionally, whilst other Ambiyaa (Alayhimus Salaam) were gifted with exclusive titles, it was Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-Sallam) alone, whose title was
“Habibullah” (The Beloved of Allah).
Due to this Divine love for Sayyidina Muhammad (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa- Sallam), his Ummah is recipient to special mercy, blessings and favours from Allah Ta’ala. It is only due to our connection and association with Nabi-e-Akram (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-Sallam) that Allah Ta’ala has honoured us above all people. Amongst many privileges, one Divine Mark of Distinction that has been granted to us, is the great privilege
of being “Ummate Marhooma” – The Ummah upon whom Mercy is shown.
The explanation of this noble title, “Ummate Marhooma” is that forgiveness is secured and mercy is attained through our sicknesses, our hardships and other tribulations; through the Eesale Sawaab that people convey to us after our demise, and through blessed days and nights such as are found in Ramadaan, and other special days and nights outside Ramadaan (The first 10 nights and days of Zul Hijjah, the nights of Eid, the 10th of Muharram, etc.), whereby we can easily gain forgiveness.
The most special and most blessed of all nights is the Night of “QADR”. Laylatul Qadr is a night singled out by Allah Ta’ala, who granted it such magnificent virtues and such greatness that surpasses all other nights. The fact that Allah Ta’ala has gifted this Ummah, with this one night – year in and year out – highlights again the Divine mercy that is extended to this Ummah, as well as the Graciousness and Kindness of Allah Ta’ala in giving
us opportunities to secure far more in rewards.
It is mentioned in Tafseer that one meaning of the word “Qadr” is “greatness, honour, dignity” and this is what the night of Qadr is – a night of greatness. It is also stated that the night is called so, because a person becomes a person of honour and dignity on account of his (or her) sincere repentance, and the noble deeds, prayers and supplications engaged in during this night. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-
Sallam) said : “Whoever stands
in prayer and worship on the night of Qadr, with complete faith and with
sincere hope of gaining reward, all his previous sins are forgiven.”
“Qadr” also means “pre-destination” and we find that this is also a night where the destinies of people are assigned to respective Angels in regard to life, death, sustenance, rain, and so forth – all of which will come to pass for the year that will follow.

Drawing from the different narrations, it becomes clear that the Night of Qadr should be sought in the last 10 nights of Ramadaan, specifically the odd nights. Its greatness and merit is described in the Speech of Allah Ta’ala, wherein it is stated that worship in this night surpasses the worship of 1000 months.
Worship includes Salaah, Tilawah (recitation) of the Qur`aan Shareef, Zikrullah, Dua, etc.
The night is also a night for sincere repentance as attested by a narration, wherein Hazrat Ayesha (RA) had asked Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa- Sallam) what prayer she should engage in if she finds Laylatul Qadr and Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-Sallam) advised her the following dua:
“O Allah, very You are Oft-Pardoning, You love to Pardon, so do pardon me.”
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa-Sallam) said : “A month has verily dawned over you wherein lies a
night better than a thousand months. Whoever misses such a night has indeed been deprived of all that is good; and none is deprived of it, except he who is really unfortunate.”
May Allah Ta’ala grant us appreciation of these beautiful opportunities, and grant us the experience and rewards of Laylatul Qadr.
It is not possible to do justice to a discussion of Laylatul Qadr but an excellent and detailed
exposition is found in the book “Fazaa`il-e-
Ramadaan” by Shaykhul Hadeeth, Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya (Rahmatullah ‘alayh), which offers tremendous inspiration, motivation and encouragement.
