The Prophet (r) is reported to have said: “My Ummah has been given five blessings, during Ramadhan. These blessings were never given to any of the Prophets before me. These are:
First: Allah directs attention on those who commence the fast on the first night. Allah will never punish him, on whom he directs his attention.
Second: That breath that proceeds from the mouth, in the evening, of those who fast, will exceed the perfume of musk.
Third: On each day and each night of Ramadhan, Angels will supplicate on behalf of those who fast, to forgive their sins.
Fourth: Allah will command Paradise: be prepared to beautify the heavens to welcome my servants. The time has arrived for them to be liberated from the Evil machinations of the world, and be welcome in my house to enjoy its blessings.
Fifth: When the last day of Ramadhan is reached, Allah forgives all their sins. A companion who has present on the occasion asked: “Is it the night of Lailathul Qadr?” “No. when labourers have accomplished their tasks, would not their wages be paid?” was the reply – (Al-Baihaqi).
