Abu Hurayrahreported that the Prophetsaid:"Everyone among you will be
deemed to be occupied in prayer constantly so long as the prayer
detains him )from worldly concerns(, and nothing prevents him from
returning to his family but prayer."]Al-Bukhaari and Muslim[
Spending charity:Abu Hurayrahreported that the Prophetsaid:"He who
gives in charity the value of a date whichhe legally earned, and

follow him)in sinfulness( without their sins being diminished in any
respect"]Muslim[

These were some of the gates towards virtue thatone can perform during
this blessed month, so be keen to accumulate as much reward as you
possibly can, because thiscould be the last year youwitness this
month. Take advantage of this chance and put forth what you would like
to see on the Day of Account. Allaah Says )what means(:"The Day every
soul will find what it has done of goodpresent ]before it[ and what it
has done of evil, it will wish between itself and that ]evil[ was a
great distance. And Allaah warns you of Himself, and Allaah is Kind to
]His[ slaves."]Quran 3: 30[
