Sittings in The Month of Ramadan

From the virtues of this month is that good deeds are multiplied. It has been narrated that the optional deeds are equal in reward to the obligatory deeds, and the obligatory deeds carry the reward of seventy obligatory deeds. And whoever provides food to break the fast of a fasting person shall have forgiveness for his sins and his neck freed from the Fire, and he will have the reward of the fasting person without any decrease in that person's own reward.

What This Collection Is

A series of daily sittings by Shaykh Salih Al-Fawzan, one of the senior scholars of Saudi Arabia and a member of the Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Fatwa, addressing the virtues, rulings and etiquettes of Ramadan across the month.

Why Daily Sittings Rather Than a Single Treatise

Because Ramadan is lived a day at a time, and a book structured the same way gives a reader something to return to each evening rather than a single volume finished once at the start of the month and set aside.

Each sitting addresses matters relevant to where a person is in the month — the early virtues and intentions, the middle stretch where consistency is tested, and the closing days with their particular emphasis on Laylat al-Qadr and the final push before Eid.

Who It Is For

Anyone wanting a companion to read through during Ramadan itself, and study circles or masajid running a daily Ramadan program.
