It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gave glad tidings of Ramadan to his companions, saying: The month of Ramadan has come upon you, which is a blessed month. Fasting in it has been made obligatory upon you. In it, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed. In it, the devils are chained. In this month, there is a night which is better than a thousand months; whoever is deprived of its goodness is truly deprived.
