Do sins multiply in Ramadan?

 Do sins multiply in Ramadan?

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

 

do sins multiply in ramadan? if somone commits a sin in ramadan is it wayyy worse than commiting it outside of ramadan?

 

Answer 

 

Arfajah reports that: "We were with 'Utbah ibn Farqad while he was discussing Ramadan. A companion of the Prophet (saws) entered upon the scene. When 'Utbah saw him, he became shy and stopped talking. The man spoke about Ramadan, saying: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (saws) say during Ramadan: "The gates of Hell are closed, the gates of Paradise are opened, and the devils are in chains. An angel calls out: 'O you who intend to do good deeds, have glad tidings. O you who intend to do evil, refrain, until Ramadan is completed.'"

 

In this blessed month of Allah Subhanah when the Lord's Mercy is overwhelming and overflowing, so much so that if a believer were to perform the 'nafl' or voluntary prayers he has been promised the reward of a 'fard' prayer of other months, where the performance of a minor Umrah pilgrimage earns the person the reward of making the major pilgrimage of Hajj, and where the rewards of doing any good deed earn multiple rewards, etc.; it is obvious that if a person disrespects and dishonors this blessed month of Allah Subhanah by transgressing His bounds and committing sin, the Wrath and Anger of Allah Subhanah on the person committing sin will be more than it would be in other months.

If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led astray.  

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
