PREPARING FOR RAMADAN.


Salam Our Brothers and Sisters,
Ramadan is the month of excitement for Muslims. Ramadan is the month of revelation of Quran, the month of reading and reciting the whole Quran, the month of Tahajjud and Qiyam al-layl prayers, Sadaqah, Zakah al-Fitr and Zakah al-Mal. Ramadan is also a month of social activities among Muslims.

No one can go anywhere without preparation, and no one invites a guest without preparing to welcome him / her. Similarly, to welcome Ramadan, the month of fasting, one has to prepare. The following are some tips to help the reader prepare accordingly:

01. Start reading Quran daily after Salat al-Fajr.
02. Spend some time listening to recitations from the Quran.
03. Train yourself to go bed early so that you can wake up far Salat al-Fajr.
04. Keep yourself in a state of Wudu (Ablution) most of the time.
05. Evaluate yourself daily before going bed.
06. Thank Allah for good deeds, and repent to Him for your mistakes and sins.
07. Start giving Sadaqah daily, no matter how little. Make it a habit like eating and drinking.
08. Find time to pray extras, such as Tahajjud prayers.
09. Spend more time reading Islamic books, especially the Quran, Sirah, Hadith, and Fiqh.
10. Find time to help others with your wisdom, knowledge and other talents.
11. Try to write articles on Islam for Muslims as well as for non-Muslims.
12. Associate with Muslim scholars / ulama and other pious people so that you may learn from them.
13. Train yourself to do good, render free service to others to seek the pleasure of Allah.

Ramadan is coming soon. Time to increase our knowledge on Islam in Ramadan. Could you please polish our Quran recitation and understanding skills, practice fasting, find time to pray extras, such as Tahajjud prayers (praying more and make lots of dua, zikir) and repentance, set aside some wealth for charity, calculate how much zakah to pay etc.
