Second Goal of Fasting: Forgiveness of Sins

.There is a very famous saying of the Prophet (PBUH) that 

"He who observes fasting during the month of Ramadan with Faith
while seeking its reward from Allah, (that he fasts to please
Allah only) will have his past sins forgiven."

Likewise the prophet of Allah (PBUH) said

"Whosoever performs (optional Tarawih) prayers at night during the month of Ramadan, with Faith and in the hope of receiving Allah's reward, (without fame, hypocrisy and merely seeking Allah’s pleasure) will have his past sins forgiven."

The Prophet (PBUH) also said

"Whosoever performs Qiyam duringLailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), with Faith and being
hopeful of Allah's reward, (he performed Tarawih prayers,
Tahajjud rituals and recitation of the Qur’an) will have his
former sins forgiven."

The Prophet (PBUH) said to his blessed companions, get
closer to the pulpit, they became near to it. When he
ascended a step, he said: Amen and did the same when
he ascended the second and the third steps. When he
came down we said: O messenger of God (PBUH), we
have heard of you today something we have never heard
of before? He said: Archangel, Jibrail, has shown up to me
and said: who can ever witness Ramadan and do not attain forgiveness, I said: Amen! When I went up the second step,he said who can hear your name being mentioned and do not pray upon you, I said: Amen! When I went up the third step, he said: who can find a senior parent or both of them and they do not cause him to go to the heaven, I said: Amen!" (Bukhari, Sahih Ibne Hibban,Musnad Hakim,Tirmidhi, Baihaqi) Thus, what a concern and pity is this, that we get ourselves involved in committing sins, wrong doings and spending our precious times of Ramadan in negligence and do not seek pardon from our previous sins. This is why, we have to preserve each and every moment of Ramadan, so that we should not be included within this curse of Archangel, Jibrail, (AS).The messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “There are many people who fast and get nothing from their fast except

hunger, and there are many those who pray and get
nothing from their prayer but a sleepless night.” Despite
fasting they backbit others, do not avoid sins and they
break their fast using unlawful (Haram) things. We
therefore should always be thoughtful about the
acceptance our all good deeds and righteousness.
The messenger of Allah (PBUH) said that the fasting
persons’ sins are forgiven in the last night of Ramadan.
Then the blessed companions (RA) asked, O the
messenger of Allah, is the night of forgiveness the Lailatul-Qadr? He (PBUH) replied: no, but it is a normal practice
that as soon as a worker accomplishes his work, he is
being paid. Thus we should continue in doing the good
deeds in the night of  attain forgiveness, I said: Amen! When I went up the
second step, he said who can hear your name being
mentioned and do not pray upon you, I said: Amen! When
I went up the third step, he said: who can find a senior
parent or both of them and they do not cause him to go to
the heaven, I said: Amen!" (Bukhari, Sahih Ibne Hibban,
Musnad Hakim, Tirmidhi, Baihaqi) Thus, what a concern
and pity is this, that we get ourselves involved in
committing sins, wrong doings and spending our precious
times of Ramadan in negligence and do not seek pardon

deeds in the night of Eid too, so that we could get full
reward and remunerations were being performed in
Ramadan.
