Ramadan: The Month of Maintaining Kinship Ties

The Messenger ﷺ said, Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, then let him be generous to his guest, and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him unite the bond of kinship, and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him say that which is good or observe silence. (Bukhâri)

Ramadan is the month of righteousness and the month of sympathy and mercy, thus by default it is the month of maintaining ties of kinship. During this month hearts are softened by remembering Allah The Almighty and souls respond to the one who calls towards Him. The outcome of this is nothing but good deeds and drawing nearer to the Lord of the heavens and the earth.

Many Sharee‘ah (Islamic legislation) texts emphasize the great value of maintaining ties of kinship and its virtues, along with warning against severing them. Allah The Almighty Says (what means):
· {And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs.} [Quran 4:1].
· {So would you perhaps, if you turned away, cause corruption on earth and sever your [ties of] relationship? Those [who do so] are the ones that Allah has cursed, so He deafened them and blinded their vision} [Quran 47:22-23].
In addition, the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) said: "The severer would not enter Paradise." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]Sufyaan may Allah have mercy upon him explained it in his narration as "the one who severs the tie of kinship". The Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ), also said: "He who likes that his sustenance should be expanded and his age lengthened should join the ties of kinship." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
