Collection of Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about Saum - Fasting in Ramadan

The month of Ramadan, the 9th month of Islam Calendar, is one of the holiest and blessed month for Muslims all over the world. It is the month of fasting or observing Saum for the entire month, abstaining from the otherwise Halal things during the period of fasting, that is from pre-dawn to sunset in the evening.

Owing to its importance, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ often talked about the etiquettes to be observed during this month to ensure its sanctity, so that one's fasting is accepted by Allah. Thus this special reference page is dedicated to Hadiths attributed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. We hope this would greatly assist our readers in knowing about keeping fasts and related matters.

The Hadiths so far shared by us are appended as below to provide a reference page to our readers to quickly go through Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for easy reference:

May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door. 

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏ 

(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”

That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.

May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.

Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.

Note: When we mention God in our posts, we mean One True God, we call Allah in Islam, with no associates. Allah is the Sole Creator of all things, and that Allah is all-powerful and all-knowing. Allah has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.
