The Prophet (SAW) said:
"He who boycotts his brother for more than three days and dies during this period will be from the people of hellfire."
He (SAW) also said:
"The doors of Heaven are opened every Monday and Thursday, and Allah pardons in these days every individual servant who is not a polytheist, except those who have enmity between them; Allah Says: Delay them until they reconcile with each other"
The worst thing in the world you could do to your Ramadan is completely render it void because of a dispute you have with someone. It contradicts the ENTIRE essence of fasting and seeking the pardon of your Lord because its not befitting to request forgiveness if you're unable to forgive others.
The doors of heaven are opened every Monday and Thursday on normal days which is why the Prophet (SAW) would fast them, but they are open the entire month of Ramadan. Imagine if every day as you are fasting, Quran recitation, etc. is presented to Allah this month and He responds to the angels to delay your pardon until you reconcile with your brother.
Ramadan is the best opportunity to write that email or text message to that lost family member or friend and say "its not worth it to lose Allahs forgiveness over this" and "IM SORRY."
Even if you've been avoiding someone and there is an implicit, unofficial, or unspoken boycott, make sure you end that today so that you don't jeopardize your fasting.
Dont do it for that person, do it for yourself and for the sake of Allah. Oh Allah clear our hearts from enmity, give us the ability to forgive, and pardon us for we have wronged ourselves. Ameen
You might find that some of these may not apply to you but you can still get the reward for calling to Khair by sharing with others!
