Praying as often as possible during the month of Ramadan is indeed beneficial. In fact, Ramadan is a good month to be more diligent in worship.

"Indeed, Allah frees some believers from the fire of Hell on every noble day in the month of Ramadan, and every believing Muslim, when he prays with sincerity, his prayer will be granted." (HR. Al Bazaar)

Prayers can be answered, but with the condition that one must continue to have good thoughts towards Allah SWT regarding the prayers being offered and perform good deeds such as fulfilling the commands of Allah SWT and avoiding His prohibitions. Because by doing bad things, it can certainly become a barrier to the acceptance of prayers, therefore the prayers that are granted by Allah are those accompanied by goodness.

2. The Most Favorable Time

In a hadith, it is explained how Ramadan is a special time for prayer. And here is the content of the hadith, "Allah descends to the lower heaven in the last third of the night and says, 'Whoever among My servants supplicates to Me with a sincere heart, I will answer him.'" (HR. Bukhari, no. 1145)

You can perform this prayer during the night prayer, as even the night prayer alone is a special time for prayer. Especially if it is done during the holy month of Ramadan, it will be even more special.

3. Obtaining Forgiveness for Sins

Not only are our prayers answered, but praying in the month of Ramadan can also result in the forgiveness of sins. In a hadith, it is stated that, "And whoever fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeking Allah's pleasure, his previous sins will be forgiven." (HR. Bukhari)

The sins that have been committed will be forgiven by Allah SWT, therefore it is recommended to pray to Allah in abundance during the month of Ramadan to seek forgiveness for past sins. However, it must be done with a sincere heart and a true intention to repent.

4. Observed by Allah SWT

Allah SWT always pays attention to every one of His servants, so whatever happens to us, whether it is something joyful or sad, Allah SWT will pay even more attention to His servants when they pray and supplicate, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.

In a hadith, it is explained that, "In the noble month of Ramadan, my ummah is granted with five things that were not given to any other ummah before me. The first is that if Allah sees my noble ummah since the beginning of the night of Ramadan, they will be protected from punishment." (HR. Baihaqi)

5. No Disturbance from Satan

Sometimes, when praying, the mind becomes distracted because it is disturbed by Satan. In the month of Ramadan, believers will be far from the disturbance of Satan when they pray and engage in other activities because Satan has been confined in hell.

This is also mentioned in a hadith that states, "When Ramadan comes and approaches in the world, the doors of paradise in the hereafter are opened and the doors of the miserable hell and the wretched Satan are closed and restrained." (HR. Bukhari)

6. Multiplying Rewards

Whatever is done in the month of Ramadan will receive multiplied rewards, namely receiving seventy times the goodness, one of which is when praying. When we pray, it is an act of worship performed by faithful Muslims, so they also receive multiplied goodness from the prayer they perform.

In a hadith it is stated, "O people in this world, the great month of Ramadan has come to you, full of blessings and glory. In this month, there is a night that is better than a thousand months, and whoever, among My servants, sincerely approaches it by performing goodness and righteousness, then in the heavens, they appear as if they have performed other goodness, and whoever among My servants performs obligations and goodness in it, then they are like performing seventy goodness or obligations besides what they have done." (HR. Ibn Huzaimah in his Sahih)

7. Recommended by the Prophet

This is mentioned in a hadith that states, "And for My people, every believing Muslim, whether male or female, in every day and every evening of the honorable month of Ramadan, there is a powerful and valuable prayer."

8. The Right Time to Pray in Ramadan

And for those of you who have the desire, here are some appropriate times to pray in Ramadan:

- The moment of the last third of the night and the time of pre-dawn meal

After midnight, around 2 am until dawn, Muslims are advised to supplicate to Allah SWT. This is evident in a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, where Prophet Muhammad said:

"Our Lord descends to the lower heaven when the last third of the night remains. Then He says, 'Who is calling upon Me that I may answer him? Who is asking from Me that I may give him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me that I may forgive him?'" (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)

- Throughout the fasting day

Throughout the day of Ramadan, when a Muslim is fasting, it is a favorable moment to pray to Allah SWT. This is in accordance with the saying of Prophet Muhammad:

"The supplication of a fasting person will not be rejected until he breaks his fast." (Narrated by Tirmidhi) Ahmad)

- Breaking the fast time

When a Muslim completes his fast in a state of submission and obedience to Allah SWT, his prayer becomes answered, especially when it is offered at the time of breaking the fast. This is reflected in the saying of Prophet Muhammad SAW:

"There are three people whose prayers are not rejected: (1) A just leader, (2) A fasting person when he breaks his fast, (3) The prayer of an oppressed person." (Narrated by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah)

- The Night of Lailatul Qadar

Aisyah binti Abu Bakr narrated that she asked the Prophet Muhammad SAW: "O Messenger of Allah, what should I say when I encounter Lailatul Qadar?" The Prophet then recommended reciting the following prayer:

"Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annii"

Meaning: O my Lord, You are indeed the Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive my sins.

These are the 7 benefits of praying in the month of Ramadan, which is a month full of blessings. Hopefully, by praying in this month, all the good things we desire will be granted by Allah SWT.
