Short Description

Welcoming Ramadan

At-Tabaraani narrated that Jaabir ibn Samurah said: The Prophet, , ascended the pulpit and said: “Aameen, Aameen, Aameen.”Then, he said:“Jibreel came to me and said, ‘O Muhammad! He who lives until one of his parents becomes old, and then he dies and does not enter Paradise and he enters Hellfire, so let Allaah The Almighty keep him away.’ It was said Aameen, so I said Aameen.”

This means that if a person grows up and one of his parents is still alive, and his kind treatment to them does not entitle him to receive the forgiveness of Allaah The Almighty, then he should be expelled from the mercy of Allaah The Almighty by the invocation of Jibreel and the Prophet, :

“Then, he said: “O Muhammad! He who sees the month of Ramadan come and go, and then he dies without being forgiven and he enters Hellfire, so let Allaah The Almighty keep him away.” He said, "Say Aameen,' so I said Aameen. Then, he said: “O Muhammad! He who hears you mentioned and does not say Salaat (i.e. does not ask Allaah The Almighty to send peace and blessings) upon you and he dies and enters Hellfire, so let Allaah The Almighty keep him away.” He said, "Say Aameen,' so I said Aameen.

At-Tirmithi and Al-Haakim narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet, , said: “He is doomed, the man who hears me mentioned and does not say Salaat (i.e. does not ask Allaah The Almighty to send peace and blessings) on me. He is doomed, the man who witnesses Ramadan come and go and he is not forgiven. He is doomed, the man whose parents reach old age and they are not a cause for him to enter Paradise.”

It is as if forgiveness is granted to everyone in Ramadan and no one will be denied it except the one whom Allaah The Almighty denies.

Sa‘eed narrated from Qataadah both, that it was said, “Whoever does not receive forgiveness in Ramadan, will not be forgiven in any other month.” This is to highlight the serious danger of the neglectful person, and not to make people despair of the mercy of the Most Great and Most Just.
