Prayers' Acceptance – Ramadan's Special Blessing 🌙
Ramadan al-Mubarak is the month of prayer. Allah Almighty has said in the Holy Quran:
**وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ**
(Al-Baqarah: 186)
Translation: “And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.”
Similarly, it is said in another place:
**ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ**
(Ghafir: 60)
Translation: “Call upon Me; I will respond to you.”
📖 Hadith Mubarakah
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
**ثَلَاثُ دَعَوَاتٍ لَا تُرَدُّ: دَعْوَةُ الْوَالِدِ، وَدَعْوَةُ الصَّائِمِ، وَدَعْوَةُ الْمُسَافِرِ**
(Sunan Tirmidhi)
Translation: "Three supplications are not rejected: the supplication of a father, the supplication of a fasting person, and the supplication of a traveler."
In another hadith it is:
**إِنَّ لِلصَّائِمِ عِنْدَ فِطْرِهِ دَعْوَةً لَا تُرَدُّ**
(Sunan Ibn Majah)
Translation: "Indeed, for the fasting person there is at the time of his breaking the fast a supplication that is not rejected."
Ramadan is especially the month of acceptance of prayers. We should pray to Allah Almighty with humility at the time of Iftar, at the time of Sehri, and especially in the last ten nights. Ask for goodness and blessings for yourself, your parents, and the entire Muslim Ummah.
