Subject: Ramadaan Gems in attaining Allah's Pleasure and becoming sinless
Our beloved Ramadaan is about to leave us. In order to fully utilise the month of Ramadaan and for us to leave Ramadan sinless, the following 7 deeds can be performed to fully obtain Allah's pleasure. When performing this, your intention needs to be clear and pure and for the sake of Allah alone. We can only attain perfection by being true slaves of Allah. The more our servitude increases, the more perfect we become and the higher we rise in status and attain Allah's pleasure.
DEED 1 - WUDU FOLLOWED BY 2 RAKAT SALAAH
Make Wudhu (ablution) as perfectly as possible and offer 2 rakaat Salaah with Khushoo, without being distracted. Try your best to be least distracted and offer Salaah like you are seeing Allah and if you cannot do that at least try to offer Salaah like Allah is watching your every move. With every Allah hu akbar and every Ruku and Sujood humble your heart and soul before Allah.
Narrated Humran: (the slave of 'Uthman) I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan asking for a tumbler of water (and when it was brought) he poured water over his hands and washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. then he washed his face and forearms up to the elbows thrice, passed his wet hands over his head and washed his feet up to the ankles thrice. Then he said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said 'If anyone performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak'at prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven.'
[Sahih Bukhari]

DEED 2 - SUBHAN ALLAHI WA BIHAMDIHI – 100 TIMES
This simple dhikr of 3-5 minutes will erase mountains of bad deeds. Reflect on what dhikr you are making and let the meaning of the dhikr sink in and change your life. Do not make robotic dhikr where your tongue is at work but your heart is lost. Always remember whenever you remember Allah, ALLAH REMEMBERS YOU! SubhanAllah!!
What greater honour is there than Allah, the Creator, the Sustainer and Lord of the Universe remembering us. The door of Allah is always open for us: Remember Me and I will remember you. We need to find our way to and through that door.
Narrated Abu Huraira (ra) : Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whoever says, 'Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi,' one hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea.
[Bukhari]

DEED 3 - SAYING ASTAGHFIRULLAH THIS WAY
Are your sins worse than leaving Jihaad? Making this dhikr only one time will ensure you gain mountains of good deeds.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who says: 'Astaghfir ullah-alladhi la ilaha illa Huwal-Haiyul-Qayyumu, wa atubu ilaihi (I seek the forgiveness of Allah, there is no true god except Allah, the Ever-Living, the Self- Subsisting, and I turn to Him in repentance),' his sins will be forgiven even if he should have run away from the battlefield (while he was engaged in fighting for the Cause of Allah)."
[Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi and Al-Hakim (on conditions of Al-Bukhari and Muslim for accepting Hadith)]

DEED 4 - DUA AFTER EATING
Reciting this small and beautiful duah after eating a meal will forgive your past sins. Just a little act of praising Allah for providing us with food.
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,
"He who has taken food and says at the end:
Al-hamdu lillahi-lladhi at 'amani hadha, wa razaqanihi min ghairi haulin minni wa la quwwatin (All praise is due to Allah Who has given me food to eat and provided it without any endeavour on my part or any power) all his past sins will be forgiven."
[At-Tirmidhi]

DEED 5 - HABIT OF RECITING THIS AFTER EVERY WUDU
Every single one of us wants paradise. Imagine 8 gates of paradise being opened for you 5 times a day!
Narrated 'Umar (ra): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If one after performing ablution completely recites the following supplication: (Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, wa ash hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluhu) 'I testify that there is no one worthy of worship but Allah, He is Alone and has no partner and Muhammad (ﷺ) is his slave and Messenger', all the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him and he may enter through any gate he wishes".
[Bulugh al-Maram]

DEED 6 - RECITE THIS DHIKR 4 TIMES
Reciting this dhikr one time equals doing ibadah for 6 continuous hours. And if you recite this 4 times it will be as if you have been continuously praying 24 hours a day!
Imagine the reward of praying 24 hours a day – subhanAllah
Juwairiyah bint Al-Harith (May Allah be pleased with her) reported, the Mother of the Believers:
The Prophet (saw) came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. The Prophet (saw) said, "Are you still in the same position as I left you." I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet said, "I recited four words three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These are: Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, 'adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinatah 'arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi [Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the weight of His Throne and equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise)]."
[Muslim]

DEED 7 - SURAH IKHLAAS 3 TIMES
Nearly every single Muslim knows this but how many of us truly put this to practice or benefit from it?
Qul huwa Allahu ahad
Allahu assamad
Lam yalid walam yoolad
Walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad
Say, "He is Allah , [who is] One, Allah , the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent." {Surah Al Ikhlaas 112}
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported about Surat Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an." According to another version, he (ﷺ) said to his Companions, "Is anyone of you incapable of reciting one-third of the Qur'an in one night?" They considered it burdensome and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which of us can afford to do that?" He (ﷺ) said, "Surat Al-Ikhlas [Say: He is Allah (the) One] is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an."
[Al- Bukhari]

Islam is beautiful and Islam is easy. Our Rabb is Ar Rahman – Ar Raheem and He azza wa jal has given us so many easy pathways that lead to Jannah. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has encouraged us to follow a middle path without going to either extremes.
This is a very small list of good deeds.
