My favourite thing about ramadan is the closeness it brings between family members & friends through worship (taraweeh, Quran reading, halaqas).
as’salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh sisters :)
There are so many things about Ramadhan which I absolutely love! However, one of the things which really makes Ramadhan so special to me is the night prayer ( Taraweeh). SubhanAllaah, just listening to the Imam reciting a different surah on every night of Ramadhan makes me heart tremble out of fear of our Rabb. Reciting and listening to the Quran in Ramadhan gives my eeman a boost, not to mentioning being in the Haram while Sudais is reciting!
Also, seeing so many muslims gather to pray together is such a memorable event, and I wish Ramadhan could be every day!
May Allaah SWT make each and every one of us amongst those who increase in doing good in Ramadhan and may He SWT accept all of our good deeds. Aameen ya Rabb!

My favorite thing about Ramadan is that we are given a chance to redeem ourselves for our shortcomings in the previous months by our deeds being magnified & searching for the night of Qadr.
Assalaamu alaikum,
my favorite thing about Ramadan is the closeness you get with Allah (swt).It is a constant reminder that He is our Lord, Sustainer and Creator. We are nothing without Him and we need Him for every little thing. Ramadan is a reminder that we should be doing Ibadah all year round but the blessing we get for doing it during the month of ramadan are definitely motivation! Everything about Ramadan brings you closer to Allah (swt), from Suhur to Taraweeh…even just remembering to say the dua’ before breaking the fast gives me a rush and awe of Allah’s (swt) power.
Ramadan is when we are all on our best behaviors and are kindest to one and other. Everything about Ramadan makes it my absolute favorite time of year!
May Allah (swt) accept all our efforts and deeds this ramadan and every ramadan to come. Ameen
Assaalaamu alaikum wa Rahamt Allaah wa Barakatu,
I am a new revert, alhamdullillaah, and my first Ramandan I thougth it would just be sooo difficult to keep a fast. But, Alhamdulillaah Allaah just makes it easy for us. Having said that my favorite thing is knowing that every day we wake up and will be offering something for Allaah SWT solely. From the ahadith that fasting is the only thing that is for Allaah only and not for our own benefit.
May Allaah SWT guide us all and grant this ummah the gift of knowledge and may he accept all our deeds this Ramadan and the next to come.
As Salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullaah
My favorite parts of Ramadhaan is gaining Taqwa, seeking nearness To Allaah Subhaanahu wa at ala, cultivating good manners, learning to be patient and the heart-warming sense of Unity throughout the Ummah.
Barak Allaahu feekum (smiles)
Assalamu Aleikum Warahmatullah,
In Ramadan we can focus on what is really important.
All the precious du’as we make to Allah swt, the good deeds we try to make and fulfill our purpose here on Earth. The special connection with The Book Of Allah swt, The Quran. The night prayers and the quite time we spend in praying and begging Allah swt to forgive us.
Ramadan has it’s special aura which no doubt is a blessing to those who try to seek purification and blessing in it. When it ends we always say farewell to Ramadan, sorrow in our heart and HOPE to live until the next one.
We ask Allah swt to make this Ramadan a VERY special one and grant us and to all of our brothers and sisters blessing in it. Ameen.
As salamu Alaikum Wa RahmatuAllahi Wa Barakatuh
There are a lot of things I love about Ramadhan but my favorite thing is Taraweeh/Tahajjud. How these prayers combine all the Muslims together in one place (all around the world) to worship Allah. The feeling one gets upon the recitation of the ayaat the imam recites is breathtaking. SubhanAllah!!
I also love the beauty of this month. There is no other month (and no other religion) which gathers such an amount of people around the world to worship Allah in oneness than Ramadhan. Families and friends come closer together, the masaajid are filled, Quran is recited night after night, and so much more.
May Allah forgive our sins and accept our fasts. Ameen
Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!
Ramadhan is my favourite month of the year. I absolutely love that holy month. Your hearth takes over that very special warm feeling where you feel yourself closer to your Lord. The air is filled with calmness. This is the special month where you really learn to get to know yourself better and with the help of Allah to be strong for not doing the things that lower your imaan. And insha Allah to keep that strongness for all year around. This is the month to make extra supplications. Ramadhan is the month of beauty where you try to pray more sunna prayers and to more read-understand-practise the holy Qur’an. The feeling of standing in taraweeh and tahajjud prayers is just so amazing that you cannot explain it by words. And of course the laylat-ul-qadr which is better that a thousand nights what the muslim is so much waiting to take part.
Ramadhan is the month of unity and may Allah keep that feeling for us for all year around and to keep ourselves strong and patient and forgive our sins. Aameen.
As salaamu alaikum. I love a lot of things about Ramadan: the fact that you see so many muslims that may not have been around throughout the year; the closeness of brother and sister; extra prayer; extra remembrance of Allah subhana wa’tala. Let’s not forget the food at iftar. At the end of the day of fasting to sit down for a delicious meal and good conversation and rememberance of Allah subhana wa’ tala is something to behold. I have diabetes and cannot always fast but I make sure that I stay in remembrance of Allah subhana wa’tala and make all of my salats and read my Quran and give extra Zakat. But I bring my children to iftar and taraweeh because they can and do fast. They are big kids, 12 and 15. It is a family affair. Salaam to all my sisters on this site and may Allah bless you with a blessed Ramadan, insha’allah.
Assalamu Alaykum sisters
As I can see we all love same things about blessed month of Ramadan..mashAllah :)
I can just add this..
I love how my husband and I get closer,stronger in emaan,and working together for more good deeds in this month..
I am also very exited to pray taraweeh and last 10 days of coming to masjid for night prayer..
my husband always spends 10 days in the masjid..I just love the feeling of cooking early in the morning,and driving in the cold morning with alot of food and coffee’s for him and other brothers in the masjid for sahoor.
I am also very thankful to Allah for making my every wish that I made in Ramadan come true..its truly amazing, and it always brings me to tears because I know only my Allah knows what my heart needs..
I feel very happy when my husband and I work together in making dawa’a DVD’s and CD’s .. to give out to muslim’s after teraweeh..
I also love Ramadan for making goals of improvement of myself ..
its also the month that I become practicing Muslimah.. and the month that was big step for me when I stepped out my family and society standards regarding my deen..
It’s the month I start wearing my hijab…in 2005 .. and my niqab in 2006..
it’s just the month of many good memories and I look at that month as revolution for myself..
when the last prayer comes and the last night of Ramadan is over.. my heart weeps..and I just get very sad its gone..I see Ramadan as guest Im waiting for the whole year..so exited and talking about him to everybody.. being so proud when its here.. closer and closer..I cherish all those Iftar’s with my sister’s in Islam.. its the month that I remember especially my parents and other family and friends back home (Bosnia).. its very hard for me not to be able to share my full happiness with them.. but I always keep them in mind and prayer..
this Ramadan is gonna be insha’Allah more special for Grand Rapids MI… we are gonna have 2 build masjids first ever to be build in history of Grand Rapids.. :) Alhamdolillah..Im so happy to pray first teraweeh in them.. :) insAllah..
I could write endlessly about Ramadan..hehe.. Its very good question and its very interesting to read comments :)
Im very proud of you my sisters.. may Allah reward you greatly !
ameen
Assalamu Alaykum xoxo
As sallamu alaikym my favorite thing about Ramadan is it is a time given to us by Allah to be forgiven for our sins and shortcomings.it also a time to get nearer to Allah.
Ramadaan has many benefits and is also a great opportunity to rebuild and re-establish your relationship with Allah. There are so many things that are fantabulous about Ramadaan, but there is one things that sticks out and I anticipate it every year, and it’s Praying Salatut-Tarawih at the Masjid I attend. During the last ten days of Ramadaan, one night the community comes together to worship Allah. There’s pillows and blankets and sisters rocking Pajamas under their overgarments. However, the only ones that are sleep are babies. Before the prayer begins, everyone is either reciting Quran or discussing a book they were reading throughout Ramadaan, not to mention, a few laughs and hugs amongst sisters. Soon after, the Imaam begins Tarawih, the recitation fills your hearts and the tears flood your eyes. It’s so compelling to stand in Salat and feel nothing but humility. Once the prayer is complete, we all eat suhoor, pray Salatul-Fajr and our day of fasting begins.
Taraweeh! i love standing with humility and humbleness with my sisters side by side, listening to the glorious heart trembling words of Allah SWT. It makes me realise how powerless i am and how ALL POWERFUL ALLAH SWT is! SubhanAllah May we all unite in Jannah InshAllah if we don’t meet in this dunya…AMEEEN. Love u sisters, stay strong XxX
night prayer where usually the whole muslim’ss come together and pray
Ramadan is a holy month for the Believers! It is a month to reflect on Allah (SWT) and His Messengers! It is a month to totally get focused on why we are here in the first place; to read Qur’an, to pray, to worship, to give and to receive all the barakats from our Lord. Insha-Allah, this Ramadan I plan to be married, so it will be a great time to get to know my husband and worship our Lord together as a family. I look forward to it, Insha-Allah. May Allah (SWT) protect all the Believers and make our hearts beam with taqwa. Ameen
What I love about Ramadan is that the shaitan are locked up so people are all on their best behaviour. I also love the feeling that when Ramadan comes you feel like you are inside the month..I can’t describe its. Its like you are in another universe; like a cocoon or a bubble. Am I the only one who feels that?
