Ramadan helps you move away from asimple Satiation of your stomach And helps you to start thinking about How you can satisfy your soul

When I climbed the first step, the angel Jibraeel (alaihi as-salam) appeared before me and said:

“Destruction to him who found the blessed month of Ramadan and let it pass by without gaining forgiveness”

upon that I said ‘Aameen’. When I climbed the second step, he said,

“Destruction to him before whom thy name is taken and then he does not say Durood on you (by saying, for example , Sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam).”

I replied ‘Aameen’. When I climbed the third step, he said

“Destruction unto him in whose lifetime his parents or either one of them reaches old age, and (through failure to serve them) he is not allowed to enter Jannah”.

I said ‘Aameen’. (Hakim, Baihaqi)
