20 Responsibilities of a believer in the Holy month of Ramazan

In the second part of the sermon that Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a) gave concerning Mahe Ramazan, he (sawa) has mentioned 20 responsibilities to which a believer should pay attention and try to fulfill.

📌(1) To pray sincerely to Allah that He grants you the Taufeeq to keep fasts and recite Quran. Hence, dear friends, we should pray in every namaz to Allah that he gives us the Taufeeq to keep a “perfect” fast and to recite maximum Quran.
📌(2) Through the hunger and thirst of the fast, one should remember the hunger and thirst of Qiyamat. When you see the signs of weakness appear in your body, you should remember the same about Qiyamat.
📌(3) Give sadaqah and food to the poor and needy
📌(4) Be respectful and courteous to old people
📌(5) Be kind and loving to small children
📌(6) Pay attention to your family and relatives
📌(7) Be kind to orphans. Do more good deeds in this holy month
📌(8) Protect your tongue, eyes and ears from committing sins. Protect the sanctity of this month by leaving sins
📌(9) As much as possible, repent before Allah for your disobediences and lighten the burden of sins from your back.
📌(10) Seek forgiveness as much as possible. One of the best deeds in this month is to seek forgiveness.
📌(11) At the time of asking Allah for your needs, raise your hands towards the sky and then pray for your needs.
📌(12) Give iftar – even if it is a piece of date or a glass of water
📌(13) Be good natured and polite with everyone. Because, at times due to hunger and thirst, a person becomes irritated and short tempered. Allah is examining you through this. Be amicable and cheerful at all times
📌(14) Don’t overload your servants and workers with excessive work. Reduce their work in this month.
📌(15) Take care not to insult or hurt anyone in this month. People should feel at ease when they are around you.
📌(16) Do Sil Rahm with your relatives – at least through a phone call or by an SMS
📌(17) Pray as much namaz as possible. Remember, that the reward of namaz, nafilah and other worship is more in Mahe Ramazan than in other months.
📌(18) As much as possible, send more salawat on Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a) and his progeny. The salawat on Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a) will make the weighing scale of your actions heavy on the day of Qiyamat.
📌(19) Read more Quran in this month. One verse of Quran in this month carries the reward of completing the entire Quran. So, when you say “Bismillah hir Rahmanir Raheem” it is equal to reciting an entire Quran
📌(20) The month of Ramazan is the month of leaving sins. At the end of the sermon, H. Ali (a.s) asked Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a), “Which is the best action in this month?” He (sawa) replied, “Leaving of sins and disobediences”
We should control our desires so that the Nafs Ammarah is not able to overpower us. By sinning and disobeying Allah, we should not bring the wrath of Allah upon us.

Try as much as possible to implement these 20 responsibilities in our lives during the month of Mahe Ramazan.

O Allah! Grant us more and more Taufeeq in this month to fulfil these responsibilities. Help us to keep a “perfect” fast and also to read more Quran. Send the blessings of Imam Zamana (a.s) upon us and include us in his prayers. Decree the zuhoor of Imam Zamana (a.s) in this holy month.
