Question:
I have some questions; the first
question: what was the state of the Salaf As-Saalih, may Allaah have mercy upon
them and be pleased with them, in anticipation of this great month? How was
their guidance? How was their character and their conduct? The second matter, O
eminent Shaykh, how does the Muslim prepare to take advantage of these nights
and days which he is now living in; preparation by way of knowledge, by knowing
the rulings of fasting and knowing the nullifiers of the fast and its rulings?
Some of the people are heedless of these things so they do not understand the
affair of fasting and they also do not have the obligatory understanding of the
affair of the fast, has the Shaykh noticed this matter? May Allaah reward you.
