Day 17 of Ramadan:
The story of two men who accepted Islam as the same time, one of whome died as a martyr and one who died a normal death.
And the importance of Ramadan we understand from this story.
(1/8)

There were two people who went to the Prophet to become Muslim on the same day. One of them worked harder than the other in terms of dawah, jihad etc and had died as a martyr. The other person died a regular death a year later.
(2/8)

Talha Bin Ubaidillah had a dream and in his dream, he saw himself. He said: ‘I was in front of the gates of Jannah and I saw those two people that became Muslim and then an angel came out of Jannah and admitted the one who died later into Jannah first.

Then the angel came outside and admitted the one who was martyred in this dunya. Then the angel came for a third and last time and told me,Talha, go back, your time has not come yet.’

The next day, he started telling people about the dream.

The Prophet PBUH said: ‘Talha, why are you amazed?’

Talha said: ‘’O Prophet of Allah (SWT), a Shaheed, such a high status, he goes into Jannah after the regular man who died only a year later?’’

The Prophet PBUH says: ‘Talha are you amazed?’

He replied: ‘Yes’
(5/8)

The Prophet PBUH said: ‘O Talha, didn’t that man who died later witness one more year than the martyr?’

He replied: ‘Yes’
(6/8)

The Prophet PBUH said:
‘’Due to the witnessing of Ramadan and praying more, the difference between him and the martyr is the difference between the heavens and the earth.’’ 

Subhanallah, such is the reward of reciving the prayers and fast of this month.

Today is the 17th day of Ramadan there are still 13 days left so inshallah let us all strive to increase our ibadat and be punctual with our prayers and duas. Don't let this golden opportunity go to waste, as we do not know if we will be alive to see the next Ramadan.
