Thus, Muslims are encouraged to emulate his actions of compassion and mercy during this special month, where the rewards are multiplied.

The Prophet’s generosity during Ramadan and how to emulate it
The Prophet (PBUH) was greatly generous during the month of Ramadan. He also encouraged the believers to be exceptionally generous during the blessed month of Ramadan.
During Ramadan, the prophet (PBUH) used to spend most of his time reading the Qur’an , remembering Allah (SWT), and residing in the mosque to perform i’tikaaf.
Therefore, Muslims should increase their generosity during Ramadan and beyond it and increase their acts of worship, such as:
- Giving sadaqah.
- Reading the Qur’an .
- Supplicating (making duaa’).
- Remembering Allah (SWT).
Ibn ‘Abbas said “The Messenger of Allah was the most generous of people. He was especially generous during Ramadan when the Angel Gabriel would come and review the Qur’an with him. Gabriel would review the Qur’an with him every night during the month of Ramadan.
Verily, when Gabriel would come and review the Qur’an with him in Ramadan, the Messenger of Allah was more generous than the free-blowing wind,” Al-Bukhari.
Donating your zakat money during Ramadan
