1) Month of Mercy
Ramadan is for the Muslims a very great favour from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. The reality of this favour can only be felt in our lives and heart if we appreciate it, otherwise this blessed month of Ramadan will come and go without gaining anything.
2) Fasting
Hadhrat Abu Hurairah Radi Allahu anhu reports that Beloved Nabi Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said, "The dua of a fasting person is not rejected until he breaks his fast." Beloved Nabi Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said, "Whoever eats during one day of Ramadan without a valid excuse, shall never be able to recoup that day even by fasting for the rest of his life."
3) Sehri
Ibne Umar Radi Allahu anhu) relates that Beloved Nabi Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said, "Verily Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and his angels send mercy upon those who partake of Sehri."
Fourth Pearl - The Qur’ân
There is a very great link between Ramadan and the Quran. Ramadan is the month of the Quran. Therefore read as much Quran as possible. Hadhrat Abdullah Ibne Umar Radi Allahu anhu narrated that Rasulullah Sallallâhu Alayhi Wasallam said, "The hearts become rusted as iron rusts with water." When someone asked, "What could cleanse the hearts again?" Rasulullah Sallallâhu Alayhi Wasallam said, "Frequent remembrance of death and recitation of the Quran." The month of Ramadan and the Quran is with us. Let us use it to cleanse our hearts of rust.
Fifth Pearl - Tarâwîh Salâh
Nabi Sallallâhu Alayhi Wasallam said that Allâh Subhanahu wa Ta'ala made fasting fardh for the day and Tarawîh sunnat for the night. Let us realize that through our fasting we kill the desires of our Nafs (carnal self) and through our Tarawîh we can reach Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. What a blessing!
6) Itikâf
Rasulullah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam said, "Whoever performs Itikâf for the final ten days of Ramadan, for him is the reward of two Haj and two Umrahs .
7) Laylatul Qadr
Amongst the nights of Ramadan, Laylatul Qadr is one of the most blessed. The Quran describes it as being greater in spiritual virtue than a thousand months,. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah Radi Allahu anhu reports that Rasulullah Sallallâhu Alayhi Wasallam said "Whoever stands in worship on the night of Qadr with complete faith and with sincere hope of gaining reward, all his previous sins are forgiven.
