Welcoming Ramdhan

Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allaah have Mercy on him] said:

The sole objective of the month of Ramadhaan is to rectify the hearts and program them to do righteous deeds. For this reason, the doors of Jannah are casted wide open and the vices to evil are restrained, thus the doors of the Hell-fire are bolted. The Shayaateen are fastened in chains, so that their corruption is reduced and their plots are not accomplished, unlike other times of the year. The way they trap the children of Aadam to fall into their plots is by appealing to their desires, however here, the alleyways to desires are constrained. If the paths are constrained, the Shayateen are consequently repelled.

[Majmoo’ al-Fataawaa (14/167)]
