Five gift

Ramadan kareem to all. May we all strive for a better Ramadan this year.


"My people (Ummah) are granted five gifts that no prophet before me had been given.

First, when it is the first night of Ramadan, Allah looks at His servants. He will never punish those at whom He looks.

Second, the smell of their mouths when night approaches is more pleasant [to Allah] than the scent of musk.

Third, angels seek Allah's forgiveness for them everyday and night.

 Fourth, Allah commands Paradise saying, 'Be prepared and adorned for My servants; they are about to be relieved  from the pains of the worldly life and move to My Home and Honor.'

 Fifth, when it is the last night (of Ramadan) Allah forgives the sins of all people." 

Thereupon, a man asked, "Is it the night of Qadr (Power)?"
He (the Prophet) said, "No, don't you see that once workers finish their tasks, they take their wages?" 

(Ahmad and Al-Bazzar)
