Summary

Allah grants rewards according to His will and multiplies them because of the virtue of a place, a time or the person performing the worship. Ramadan falls under the virtue of time, as shown by the authentic hadith that umrah in Ramadan equals the reward of hajj. The fatwa concludes that the great reward is because Ramadan is a month honoured by Allah, chosen for major events such as the revelation of the Quran and containing the Night of al-Qadr, which is better than a thousand months.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Berdasarkan perbahasan dan perbincangan di atas, kami menyimpulkan bahawa kelebihan dan ganjaran yang besar yang ditawarkan oleh Allah SWT di bulan Ramadhan ialah kerana ia bulan yang dimuliakan oleh Allah SWT.
