Sheikh Abdul Aziz Bin Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) has advised the Muslims to welcome the month of Ramadan. He says: “I do not know of any specific way of welcoming Ramadan, but the Muslims should welcome it with joy and happiness and thanking Allah for enabling them to reach Ramadan, for he has caused him to be among the living who compete in doing righteous deeds. Reaching Ramadan is a great blessing of Allah. Hence the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to give his companions the glad tidings of the arrival of Ramadan and explain its virtues, and the great reward that Allah has prepared for those who fast and who spend the night in prayer. It is prescribed for the Muslims to welcome this blessed month with sincere repentance and preparations to fast and pray qiyaam, with a sound intention and sincere resolve.” We need to welcome the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith and we need to hope for reward from Allah for our fasting and our good deeds. The month of Ramadan is not about being hungry and thirsty during the day or about refraining from bad habits we are accustomed to during the rest of the year.
