There is no problem in greeting one another at the beginning of the month Ramadaan because the Prophet (peace and blessings be with him) would give glad tidings to his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them all) at the advent of the month of Ramadaan. He would urge them to strive in this month with performing righteous deeds. And truly Allaah has said:

{Say: "In the Bounty of Allaah and in His Mercy (i.e. Islaam and the Quraan); -therein let them rejoice." That is better than what (the wealth) they amass.} [Younus: 58]

Therefore greeting one another in this month and to be joyful at the advent of this month both demonstrate the keenness for (doing) good.

The Salaf would give glad tidings to one another at the advent of the month of Ramadaan following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be with him) just as was reported in the lengthy Hadeeth of Salmaan (may Allaah be pleased with him) regarding this, that the Prophet rightfully stated:

“Oh People! Indeed you have been approached by a magnificent blessed month…”

The Second: The one who guards his prayers upon their proper times and within their specified limits, fulfills their essential pillars and performs his wudoo with care. However, his striving (in achieving the above) is wasted due whisperings in his prayer so he is taken away by thoughts and ideas. The Third: The one who guards his prayers within the specified limits, fulfills their essential pillars and strives with himself to repel the whisperings, thoughts and ideas. He is busy struggling against his enemy shaytan so that he does not steal from the prayer. On account of this he is engaged in (both) prayer and jihad. The Fourth: The o...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In regards to the length of heaven, it is mentioned that the space, whicheven the lowest member of the heaven will get in Paradise, will be equalto ten times the area of the world. Imagine the space allowed in the highestlevel of Paradise (Jannah). There is a tree in heaven whose shadow spreads so far and wide, that a rider would travel on for a hundred years and yet would not cross the extent of that tree. Heaven consists of a HUNDRED levels. Between each two levels there is a distance equal to the space between the sky and the earth. Firdawsis the name of the top most level of Heaven. Above it is the abode of Allah. Whenever asking anything from Allah, we should ask for Jannat-ul-Firdaws (admittance into the highest abode of heaven just below theThrone of the Almighty). Each faithful shall have a tent made of a pearl; itslength will be sixty miles. The abode of Paradise shall be built of bricks of gold and silver. And who shall ever enter this mans...
