Brilio.net - Ramadan is a holy month in Islam filled with various spiritual activities and worship. During this month, every Muslim around the world fasts from dawn to sunset as a form of respect for Allah SWT. Ramadan fasting is not only about refraining from eating and drinking, but also teaches patience, compassion, and introspection . Apart from that, Ramadan is also the right time to get closer to Allah through good deeds, reading the Koran, and improving the quality of worship and social relations with fellow Muslims.
During the month of Ramadan, Muslims also celebrate the night of Laylatul Qadar which is believed to be a night better than a thousand months. On this night, every Muslim is encouraged to worship more intensely, ask for forgiveness, and pray for Allah's mercy. Apart from that, the month of Ramadan is also a moment to share happiness with others through alms and providing assistance to those in need. With a high spirit of spirituality and togetherness, the month of Ramadan brings blessings and peace to Muslims, strengthening religious ties and social awareness in society.
Ramadan is indeed a month that is greatly missed by Muslims all over the world. This is because there are many special features in the month of Ramadan. Not only fasting, tarawih prayers, witir, and reading the Koran, but there are many other privileges, namely reading the prayers recommended by Allah SWT.
Praying in every situation is highly recommended by Rasulullah SAW. "There is nothing more noble in the sight of Allah than prayer," (Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Sunan Ibnu Majah, and Musnad Ahmad).
Allah SWT says in the Koran, "Pray to Me, I will surely allow you," (QS. Ghafir: 60).

The most important time to pray in the month of Ramadan.

1. Pray during suhoor.
Sahur is done in the third of the night, at this time the prayers you pray will be easily answered by Allah SWT. Before performing suhoor, you can perform tahajud prayer first and then pray. As in the hadiths narrated by Bukhari and Muslim, numbers 1145 and 758. From Abu Hurairah, may God bless him and grant him peace, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:
"Our Rabb tabaraka wa taala descended to the sky of the world when the last third of the night was left. Then God said, 'Whoever prays to Me, I will accept. Whoever asks Me, I will grant. Whoever asks for forgiveness from -My, then I will forgive.'"
The prayer answered by Allah SWT in the third of the night is also explained by Ibnu Hajar. In the hadith above, Ibnu Hajar said: "Prayer and intercession at the time of suhoor are easily answered," (Fath Al-Bari, 3: 32).
2. When fasting.
Praying when fasting is the right time. The reason is that people who are fasting are encouraged to pray a lot in order to get good things in this world and the hereafter. In this regard, Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu anhu said, Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam once said: "Three people whose prayers are not rejected: the person who fasts until he breaks his fast, the just leader, and the prayer of the oppressed," (HR. Ahmad 2 : 305).
Shaykh Shuaib Al Arnauth said that this hadith is authentic with various methods and reinforcements. This is also explained by Imam Nawawi, may God have mercy on him, as follows: "It is recommended for those who fast to increase their prayers for the affairs of the hereafter and the world, they can also pray for whatever they want, and also do not forget to pray for goodness for Muslims in general," (Al - Majmu, 6: 273).
3. When breaking the fast.
When breaking the fast, try to pray. This is explained in the hadith narrated by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah, where the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "There are three people whose prayers are not rejected: (1) A just leader, (2) A person who fasts when he breaks his fast, (3) A prayer (HR. Tirmidhi no. 2526, 3598 and Ibnu Majah no. 1752. Al-Hafizh Abu Tahir says that this hadith is hasan).
Then in Tuhfah Al-Ahwadzi (7: 278) also explained about this.
"That Muslims who pray at the time of breaking their fast will be easily answered by God, because that person has completed his worship, that is, in a state of submission and humility before God. This is what God likes, so that every prayer that his people pray in that state will be easily accepted by God."
4. When the call to prayer resounds.
Of course this is not only done in the month of Ramadhan, in other months the sounding of the call to prayer is also the right time to pray. As is known, when the call to prayer is resounding, Muslims are encouraged to answer the call to prayer by saying the same pronunciation. As in the hadith narrated by Abu Daud, the Prophet SAW said: "Prayer is not rejected at two times, or at least there is a small possibility of it being rejected. That is when the call to prayer is resounding and when the war is raging, when the two camps are attacking each other," (HR. Abu Daud, 2540, Ibnu Hajar Al Asqalani in Nata-ijul Afkar, 1/369, said: Hasan Sahih).
The priority of Ramadan.

Ramadan is a very special month in the Islamic calendar. This is the month in which Muslims around the world fast from dawn to sunset, increase their worship, and strive to purify their souls and draw closer to Allah SWT.
The priority of this month is mainly related to the Qur'an, because in the month of Ramadan the Qur'an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. This is a time for reflection, prayer, and renewal of faith.
In addition, the month of Ramadan is also an opportunity for Muslims to practice patience, self-discipline, and empathy towards others, especially the less able. By fasting, one can feel hunger and thirst, thereby better understanding the suffering of those who live in poverty and hunger every day.
Ramadan is also a month of forgiveness, where the doors of mercy are opened wide and Muslims are encouraged to apologize for their sins and strive to be the best version of themselves. Here are the priorities of the month of Ramadan.
1. The month is full of blessings.
Ramadan is a blessed month in which the Qur'an was revealed as guidance for Muslims. Muslims are encouraged to fill this month with worship and righteous deeds.
2. I'tikaf in the last 10 nights.
The Prophet SAW encouraged Muslims to perform i'tikaf on the last 10 nights of Ramadan, seeking the night of Lailatul Qadr which is better than a thousand months.
3. Umrah in the month of Ramadan.
Performing Umrah in the month of Ramadan has the same reward as performing Hajj, as the Prophet SAW said.
"When Ramadan arrives, perform Umrah at that time because Ramadan Umrah is equivalent to Hajj," (HR. Bukhari no. 1782 and Muslim no. 1256).
4. Lailatul Qadr night.
Lailatul Qadr is a night whose value is better than a thousand months. On this night, the gates of heaven are opened, the gates of hell are closed, and the demons are shackled.
5. Atonement for sin.
Ramadan fasting is as an atonement for sins until the coming of the next month of Ramadan, as long as no major sins are committed.
