Do good deeds in order to gain Allah's mercy and forgiveness; Stay away from sins; Take advantage of this special period; Repent during this time; Follow Islamic teachings throughout Ramadan.

The hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah speaks about the blessings that come with the start of Ramadan. It is said that when this holy month begins, Allah opens up the gates to Paradise and shuts down those to Hell. Additionally, He also chains up all devils so they cannot cause any harm or mischief during this blessed time. This hadith serves as a reminder for us to take advantage of this special period by doing good deeds in order to gain Allah's mercy and forgiveness. Furthermore, it also encourages us to stay away from sins as much as possible since we know that during this time our chances for repentance are higher than ever before.
