Question:
The Prophet said;
When Ramadhaan arrives the doors of Paradise are flung open and the doors of Hellfire are slammed shut.
Does this mean that one who dies in Ramadhaan enters Paradise without questioning?
Answer:
The situation is not as such. Rather, what this means is the doors of Paradise are flung open as an inspiration to the Muslims to make easy their entry (to Paradise). And the doors of Hellfire are shut to prevent the Believers from sins such that they do not enter (through) these doors. And this does not mean that one who dies in Ramadhaan enters Paradise without questioning, rather those who shall enter Paradise without questioning are those whom the Messenger has described in his statement;
They are the ones who do not steal and do not cauterise and are not pessimistic and in their Lord they put their trust.

JazakAllah khair
But does it mean that dying in the month of Ramadhaan is a blessed ending? Or is it like dying in any other month
Bismillah ir rahman ir raheem

I hope our message reaches you while you are upon the best state of health and emaan in this blessed month of Ramadan, in which it is encouraged that we engage in daw’ah to Allah as much as we can. And what could be the easiest way to do act of calling to Allah than just posting a blog or sending an email. We are not intending to SHAM in HERE by posting COMMENTS… but..
We at albaseerah.org would like to request you to help us spread this message of our Hajj 2010 by posting
this link’s blog:
*** http://albaseerahorg.multiply.com/journal/item/126/_Finally_Huge_Discount_till_Aug_30-_Save_600.00_-_Hajj_2010_Starting_at_4799.00 ***
to your blog[s] and also by posting to your group[s]/contact list. And indeed your reward is with Allah and you can anticipate the huge reward based on the below hadith of our Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam who didn’t speak from his desire rather by the command of Allah.
It comes in Muslim (1017) from the hadeeth of Jarir bin ‘Abdillah -may Allah be pleased with him- that the Prophet -sallahu ‘alayhi wasallam- said: Whoever introduces a good practice in Islam which was followed after him (by people) he will have the reward like the one who has done it, without their rewards being diminished in the least.*
And he has attained by this a mighty reward from Allah the Most High, for indeed he -sallahu ‘alayhi wasallam- has said: Verily if Allah guides by way of you one man it is better for you than the red camels. Bukhaari (3009) and Muslim (2406) [Taken from: Towdeeh al-Ahkaam min Bulooghil Maraam by Ash-Sheikh ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdur Rahman Al-Bassaam.]
Therefore, we hope O sister/brother that you seeking the pleasure of Allah in this blessed month of Ramadan you will just simply copy paste above given link’s blog post to your blogs and also send it to your groups and contact list as an act of worship seeking nearness to Allah. May Allah reward you with good in this Duniyah and In the Akhira for cooperating with us upon Birr – righteousness – and Taqwa – piety as Allah has ordained.
Jazakum Allahu khayran kathiran wa baaraka Allahu feekum fidduniyah wa filakhira
was-salamualikum warahma tullahiwabaraka tuhu
