Marhaban ya Ramadhan

Assalamualaikum,

Since it's Ramadhan, I'd like to share some knowledge I have concerning this glorious month.

One is concerning du'a. If we pray to Allah when we are fasting, the du'a will insyaAllah not be rejected. As a hadeeth said
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (SWT)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler. [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih] 
The second one is the taraweeh prayer. Muslims are highly encouraged to perform this prayer as the rewards are immense. You can see the rewards here. You should also perform the Fajr prayer in congregation. Usually we perform the taraweeh in congregation but we refuse to perform the fajr prayer in congregation. Why is that so? Did the Prophet (s.a.w) not mention of the rewards of performing the fajr prayer in congregation? Moreover, it's Ramadhan. All rewards will be increased tenfold.
In Saheeh Muslim (656) it is narrated from ‘Uthmaan (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever prays ‘Isha’ in congregation, it is as if he spent half the night in prayer, and whoever prays Fajr in congregation, it is as if he spent the whole night in prayer.” 

Al-Bukhaari (615) and Muslim (437) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If they knew what there is (of reward) in ‘Isha’ and Fajr prayer, they would come to them even if they had to crawl.” 
 So if you perform the Fajr prayer in congregation during Ramadhan, you will have the reward as if you spent TEN nights in prayer.

Wallahualam bissawab.
