Ramadhan 1427 (2): Time for Reflection...

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
O Believers, fasting is decreed for you as it was decreed for those before you, so that you may learn to restrain yourselves
(Al Quran 2:183)
The Prophet (SAW) said: 'Allah has said: "Every action of the son of Adam is for him except fasting, for that is solely for Me, and I shall reward it (in a special way)...A person who fasts experiences two joys, he is joyful when he breaks his fast and he is joyful when he meets his Lord.
(Bukhari, Muslim)
The Prophet (SAW) said: 'Whoever fasts during Ramadhan with faith, seeking reward from Allah, will have his past sins forgiven. And whoever spends the Night of Power (Laylat ul Qadr) in prayer, with faith, seeking his reward from Allah, will have his past sins forgiven'
(Bukhari, Muslim)
The Prophet (SAW) said: "Whoever prays during the nights of Ramadhan with faith, seeking his reward from Allah, will have his past sins forgiven."
(Bukhari, Muslim)
The Prophet (SAW) said: 'If a person does not give up accusations and bad behaviour while fasting, Allah has no need of his giving up food or drink.'
(Bukhari, Muslim)
The Prophet (SAW) said: 'There are those who get nothing fom their fast but hunger and thirst, and there are those who pray at night and get nothing from it but loss of sleep.'
(Ahmad)
===================================
So this Ramadhan, purify your intentions, seek reward with Allah and fulfil your duties and increase your ibadaa' for the sake of Allah alone.
The true reward is yet to come (inshaAllah).
