All praises are due to the Lord of creations, the Knower of all that is hidden, the one who sees intentions and what is in the mind. I glorify him for all His great favors. I bear witness that no deity is worthy of worship except Allah who has no partner, and I bear testimony that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. O Allah, send your peace and blessings upon your servant and messenger, Muhammad, his households and companions.
Verily, the Month of Ramadan is the month of blessing and benevolence, reward for good deeds in it are doubled, and ways of gaining blessings in it are plenty. Souls are more energetic in this month than in other months. That is why I have decided to gather for you, my beloved brother a bundle of prophetic traditions and statements of the companions on various acts of good deeds and blessings with special concentration on the most rewarding acts in this blessed month. This is in addition to warning you on the need to be cautious of the obligatory and supererogatory acts of worship. I have tried to be careful about mentioning anything and its evidence from either the Quran or authentic tradition of the Prophet-peace be upon him- briefly so that we gather as many benefits as possible.

12- Learning the Quran and teaching it: the Prophet said: the best of you is he who learns the Quran and teaches it”
13- Remembrance of Allah as much as possible: the Prophet said: “shall I not inform you of the best of your deeds, and the most purified in the sight of your Lord, and has the highest grade, and is better for you than spending gold and silver in the course of Allah, and is better for you than meeting your enemies in the battle ground? They said: yes! He said: “remembrance of Allah”
14- Reciting the Quran: the messenger of Allah said: “recite the Quran because it will come on the Day of Judgment to intercede for its companions”
15- Seeking forgiveness of Allah: “the messenger of Allah said: whoever adheres to seeking forgiveness of Allah, He will grant him relief for every worry, and a way for every difficulty, and will provide for him from where he does not expect”
16- Being cautious of the five daily prayers: the messenger of Allah said: “no Muslim will whenever it is time for an obligatory prayer perfect its ablution and units of the prayer except that it will be an expiation for the sins before it provided he has committed a major sin and that is as long as he lives”
17- Being cautious of observing the prayer at the right time: the messenger of Allah was asked: which of the deeds is best? He said: “prayer at the right time”
18- Being cautious of the fajr and asr prayer: the messenger of Allah said: “whoever observe the prayers of the two cold periods will enter paradise”
19- Being cautious of the jumaat prayer: the Prophet said: “the five daily prayers, from one jumaat to the other, and from one Ramadan to the other are expiation for the sins between them if one abstains from the major sins”
20- Being cautious of the time of acceptance on the day of jumaat: the messenger of Allah said: “ in it is a time, no Muslim will be lucky to be standing in prayers and supplicating Allah for anything at that time except that he grants his request”
