"We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power:
And what will explain to thee what the night of power is?
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by God’s permission, on every errand:
Peace!...This until the rise of morn!" ~ Surahtul Qadr Ayats 1-5
(1000+) times 1 month = (1000+) months = 83.33+ years.
This is about consistent with the average life expectancy of a human being on Earth. That is Allah (swt) will give the person who fasts a particular month of Ramadan the reward of having fasted an entire lifetime. But, will then give the same reward for the next Ramadan that he or she fasts. This appears to support the Hadith: “Whoever fasts the fast of Ramadan believing and expecting its recompense from Allah, and passes this month with ibadah (worship), his/her past sins are forgiven.” (Tirmidhi, Sawm, 1)
Thus, it is possible that their entire slate or tablet of Sijjin (Book containing the Sins of a Person) is completely cleared. Al Afuw Allah. Allah is the One Who Blots Out Sins; The Pardoner; The Effacer.
With possibly the exceptions of Blasphemy Against Allah; and Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit:
"Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with God is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed." ~ Surahtul Nisa Ayat 48
"31 “So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven—except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven." ~ Matthew 12:31 NLT
Then, if there is a condition, sin, or spiritual affliction upon a muslim that the next Ramadan does not remediate, expel, and expiate, then it can be understood that what is taking place with that individual is unjust, evil, wicked, and/or a curse {Zalamat, Jaramat, Lainat}. Because as it appears the only things that fasting Ramadan would not expiate or remediate are: Blasphemy Against Allah; and Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit.
Though, I am not excessively concerned about judging polytheists. I feel that Allah (swt) is sufficient in Judgment concerning them. But, when I look at the level of productivity, I do say to myself how did they move before me. Some people feel that they can be dismissive of Nabi Salih (as) and Salihat (Righteousness and Productivity) in the land; or even dissuade and discourage it. Nabi Salih (as) is so important that many of the Prophets of Allah (swt) prayed to Allah (swt) to be admitted into the company of the Salihun (Righteous, Productive). That is how important Salih is. See my references below. I was trying to find where Nabi Sulaimon (as) prayed to Allah to be admitted to the company of the Salihun...and it occurred to me that this happened in the Surahtul Namli the Chapter of the Ants. I will list it below.
The words in English that are, "company of the Righteous"; or "ranks of the Righteous" or "Ranks of Thy Righteous Servants" were directly translated from the word "Salihun" in Arabic. These Prophets (as) were praying to Allah (swt) to be admitted to the company of the Salihun. Pick any one of those Prophets mentioned below and that is powerful, but, it really reveals itself as powerful when you have Nabi Sulaimon (as) one of the wisest men to ever walk the earth, asking Allah to be admitted to the company of the Salihun.
Nabi Salih (as)...his name bears the root for Salihun and this makes him connected to Salihat and Salihan. Perhaps his ministry to the Thamudi specialized in Ordinances concerning Salihat and Salihan. I will always say that though I follow Nabi Muhammad (saws) each and every Prophet is of critical importance, to glean their precious lessons from, for return to Jannah. May the eternal peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon each of the Anbiya (as) mentioned here. Ameen.
