The best of those who fast are those who remember Allāh the most whilst fasting.
The best of those who give charity are those who remember Allāh the most.

The nobility of a Muslim is in performing the prayer in the darkness of night and not being desperate for what is in the hands of the people (i.e. their possessions)

Etiquettes of Salaf in completing the Ramadaan - Part 2️⃣
➡️ Completing Ramadaan with Perfection and Excellence and being worried about its acceptance.
غدا توفي النفوس ما كسب
*
ويحصد الزارعون ما زرعوا
إن أحسنوا أحسنوا لأنفسهم
*
وإن أساؤوا فبئس ما صنعوا
Tomorrow the souls will be repaid what they earned,
And the sowers will harvest what they sowed,
If they did well, they did well for their own selves,
And if they did poorly, then how wretched is what they did!
➡️The pious predecessors used to exert themselves in completing an action, and perfecting it, and excelling in it, and then they would be concerned about its acceptance after that, and fear that it might be rejected. And these are those who “give what they give while their hearts are fearful [because they will be returning to their Lord]” [23:60].
It is narrated from ‘Ali (raadiAllaahu ‘anhu) that he said, “Be more concerned about the acceptance of deeds than about the deeds themselves. Haven’t you heard Allah say, “Indeed, Allah only accepts from the muttaqoon” [5:27]?
And Faḍaalah ibn ‘Ubayd said, “That I would know that Allah has accepted so much as a mustard seed’s weight from me is more beloved to me than the dunya and everything in it, for Allah says, “Indeed, Allah only accepts from the muttaqoon” [5:27].

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
”If the Night of Qadr was some night during the entire year, I’d stand in night prayer the entire year to get it. So what do you suppose should be done for merely ten nights?.”
[Badaa’i Al-Fawaaid | 1/55]

لئن أتصدق بدرهم في حياتي أحب إلي من أن يتصدق عني بعد موتي بمائة درهم
"Donating a single dirham while I'm alive is more beloved to me than having a hundred dirhams donated on my behalf after my death."

Imam Ahmad recorded from Zirr that he asked Ubayy bin Ka
b,
"O Abu Al-Mundhir! Verily, your brother Ibn Masud says whoever stands for prayer (at night) the entire year, will catch the Night of Al-Qadr."Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
إن أمارة ليلة القدر أنها صافية بلجة كأن فيها قمرا ساطعا ساكنة ساجية
لا برد فيها ولا حر ولا يحل لكوكب يرمى به فيها حتى
وإن أمارتها أن الشمس صبيحتها تخرج مستوية ليس لها شعاع مثل القمر ليلة البدر
ولا يحل للشيطان أن يخرج معها يوميذ
Verily, the sign of the Night of Al-Qadr is that it is pure and glowing as if there were a bright, tranquil, calm moon during it.
It is not cold, nor is it hot, and no shooting star is permitted until morning.
Its sign is that the sun appears on the morning following it smooth having no rays on it, just like the moon on a full moon night.
Shaytan is not allowed to come out with it (the sun) on that day.

ibn al-jawzī [رحمه الله] said:
if a muslim doesn’t finish the recitation of the qurʾān in ramaḍān, which is the month of the qurʾān, then he will not finish its recitation during the remainder of the year except if Allāh wills.
and the lack of finishing its recitation is a failure which requires consistently making duʿāʾ to hide the distress and to lift negligence away from the heart.
muḥammad b. kaʿab said:
whoever reads the qurʾān will enjoy his intellect even if he reaches 100 years of age.
