The concept of Ramadan Family Commitment derives from the following Hadith
It was narrated by Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said.
"Who has observed fast among you today?" Abu Bakr replied, "It is I." (The Prophet–saw again) said, "Who among you followed the Janazah (funeral procession) today?" Abu Bakr replied, "It is I." He (the Prophet–saw again) said, "Who among you fed a poor man today?" Abu Bakr replied, "It is I." He (again) said, "Who among you visited a sick person today?" Abu Bakr said, "It is I." Upon this the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, "Anyone in whom (these good deeds) are combined will certainly enter Paradise,"
Sahih Muslim, 2242
Also Anas narrated that the Prophet (saw) said,
"The best charity is that which is given in Ramadan" Sunan Tirmidhi.
Let us heed the instructions of Allah and His Messenger (saw), and seize the opportunity of this blessed month to seek the provisions of the Akhira and the magnificent meeting with our Lord. Let us set about gaining the provision of Taqwa for this journey, through Salat, Siyam and Sadaqa. Let us spend from the bounties and wealth Allah has blessed us with, in order that Allah may enlarge our provision for this life and the Hereafter.
