Ramadan is the most awaited month of Islamic calendar and Muslims celebrate it with zeal and zest. Each prayer and offering of this month will be rewarded hugely on judgment’s day. The blessings of Allah Almighty increase in Ramadan and every individual is benefited from it equally. During Ramadan, Muslims keep their fast from pre dawn to dusk. They refrain from all kinds of bad habits, eating, drinking and fraud. Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) stated in his Hadith:
When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained.
