The Prophet ﷺ said:

"When the month of Ramadan begins, the gates of the heaven are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained."

This Hadith highlights the unique spiritual atmosphere of Ramadan. By opening the gates of heaven and closing those of Hell, Allah creates an environment of pure mercy and invitation to Paradise. Chaining the devils removes significant external temptations, making it easier for us to focus on self-improvement. It is a divine gift, providing the perfect window for believers to stop sins and increase good deeds.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

"When the people of Paradise enter it, Allah Almighty will say: Would you like anything more? They will say: Have You not brightened our faces? Have You not admitted us into Paradise and saved us from Hellfire? Then, Allah will lift the veil and nothing they are given will be more beloved to them than looking at their Lord Almighty."

Then, the Prophet ﷺ recited Aya 26 of Surah Yunus, where Allah SWT lays out a rule: whoever does good, will receive good in the afterlife.

‍

"When Allah completed the creation, He wrote in His Book with Him upon the Throne: Verily, My mercy prevails over My wrath."

This confirms that the very foundation of the Divine is compassion. Allah’s inherent nature prioritises mercy over punishment.

Before He even created us, He decreed that His Grace would always overpower His Anger.

Look at this endless mercy of Allah SWT!
