'Umar Ibn Khattab's instructions for the first of Ramadan

It is reported that on the first night of Ramaḍān, ‘Umar – رضي الله عنه– would pray Maghrib, then say (to the people):


Sit down. Then he would give a small address:


Verily the fasting of this month has been made a duty upon you, and standing in night prayer has not been made a duty upon you, but those amongst you who can stand in prayer should do so, for it is from the extra good deeds about which الله told us: so whoever cannot stand in prayer, let him sleep on his bed.


And beware of saying: I will fast if so and so fasts and I will stand in night prayer if so and so stands in prayer. Whoever fasts or stands in night prayer, he must make this for الله. And you should know that you are in prayer as long as you are waiting for a prayer.


Minimize any vain or false speech in the houses of الله (mosques; he said this two or three times).


Let none of you fast a few days before the month (in order to avoid missing the beginning of the month; he said this three times).


And do not fast until you see [the crescent of the new month] unless it is overcast. If it is overcast, count [the previous month] as 30 days. Then do not break your fasts until you see the night upon the mountain (i.e. you are sure the sun has set).


‘Abd Al-Razzāq Al-Ṣan’ānī, Al-Muṣannaf article 7748.

May Allah honour you by granting you the opportunity to gain the most out of this Ramadan and may it be sincere for His sake.

I ask Allah that you be among the special ones whose necks are marked as saved from the punishment of Hell.

آمين

(Maghrib) NOT (Fajr) marks the beginning of a new Islamic day.

Don't wait until Fajr on the first day of #Ramadan to start your ibaadah!

Engrave this in your mind:

“This might be my last Ramadhān.”

Question: When is the best time to pray Taraweeh in Ramadan, after Isha or the last third of the night? If it is after Isha is it better to pray in the Masjid with an Imam?
