Have we ever thought about what reward Allah has set aside for the ones who diligently fast throughout Ramadan 2024 and other days set aside for Ramadan fasting ? Could we even fathom Allah’s pleasure towards his believers?
Turns out we DO know the reward for the fasting individuals. Allah has literally set aside a level of Jannah solely for them!
We keep on Ramadan fasting despite standing in the kitchen in front of a burning stove , we steadily fast even if we are going through a complete electrical black-out in the middle of a scorching summer. We keep Ramadan fasting due to the fear of Allah etched in our souls, even though we could secretly break our fasts without no one looking or batting an eye at us.
It’s this act , this act of silent devotion even if we are not aware of it, that makes Allah ( SWT) reserve an entire level of Jannah just for the ones who fast.
Allah is indeed, The Most Merciful and Generous.

What is Ar Rayyan?
Allah (SWT) is so merciful, generous and kind that this act of Ramadan fasting makes him so happy that he has dedicated a separate gate in the gates of the paradise named as AR RAYYAN.
The Gate of Ar Rayyan serves as a symbol of these spiritual benefits as well. It represents not just an entrance into paradise, but the culmination of a life lived with discipline, compassion, and a deep connection to Allah. It’s a powerful reminder that true spiritual growth comes not just from outward acts, but from the inner transformation that takes place during practices like Ramadan fasting.
It is narrated by the Prophet (PBUH) that the ones who fasted during their lifetimes will be called upon on the Day Of Judgement and will be guided to the Gate of Ar Rayyan which will be reserved solely for them.
Subhanallah!

How do we enter Ar Rayyan?
If you are under the sorry delusion that you will be rewarded for only physically Ramadan fasting without trying to fix your spiritual self then you are indeed delusional.
Keeping away from all your unholy desires for at least a month showcases the might of the creation that Allah has managed to spawn from mere earth. The human being is a slave to his/her desires and interests. We are helpless when faced with the beauty of the Dunya and it is the act of fasting that helps us realize that the Dunya is a lie and Jannah should be our endgame.
Allah loves the people who are genuine and who try hard to seek his pleasure. That is why he appointed an entire level of Paradise for the fasting people because He Himself appreciates and loves the sacrifice and devotion of his servants!

Conclusion
While the concept of the Gate of Ar Rayyan is a powerful motivator, it’s important to remember the core message of Islam: serving Allah and living a righteous life. Fasting is just one aspect of this, and the ultimate reward for good deeds lies with Allah’s judgment.
So, as Muslims approach Ramadan Kareem, the promise of the Gate of Ar Rayyan serves as a beautiful reminder of the blessings associated with fasting. It’s a time for self-reflection, spiritual growth, and increased empathy. By embracing the spirit of Ramadan 2024 and observing the fast with sincerity, Muslims pave the way for a life of piety and potentially, a special entrance into paradise on the Day of Judgement.
I pray from the bottom of my heart that May we enter Paradise from Ar Rayyan.
Aameen
