Assalamu Alaikum warahmatullah π
As the blessed month comes, May Allah help us to make the best out of it and get maximum deeds In Shaa Allah (Amin)
This Ramadan remember π‘ππ½:
1. It's all about that connection with Allah S.W.T, so try your best to practice technology hygiene. Don't stay glued to your phone and gadgets. Every time is precious β β
πππππππππ
2. Try to ZONE OUT during Salah. Find your 'Ramadan spot', a nice quiet area where you can hear yourself when saying your salah and practice great khushoo π
πππππππππ
3. Set REALISTIC goals for yourself. Focus on what YOU want to achieve during this blessed month and try not to overwhelm yourself with plenty to-do's. Remember, Allah loves consistency π₯
πππππππππ
4. Sunnah, sunnah, SUNNAH is the best way to achieve maximum deeds during Ramadan so let's try to copy as much as our Prophet( peace be upon him) did.
πππππππππ
5.It's not a competition for who throws the most lavish of Iftars π₯, travels yearly for umrah β etc. The whole point of this month is to try and live simply and understand that we are fortunate to be where we are, not show off to each other and indulge in extravagance
πππππππππ
6. FORGIVE those who have wronged you without reservations. Humans are NOT perfect and therefore very prone to making mistakes. Holding on to grudges has never done anyone any good and Allah S.W.T loves those of us who forgive ππππ
πππππππππ
7. Try to give Sadaqah In any way you can (Da'wah, donations, helping those in need/ family members etc) and according to what you can do. Again, don't overwhelm yourself with too much goalsπ₯π₯π₯π₯
πππππππππ
8. Take what you've learnt forward after Ramadan. Even if it's one aspect e.g reading Qur'an a daily/listening to sermons etc. If you can be a great Muslim during Ramadan guess what? You can keep being great all year πͺπ½πͺπ½πͺπ½πππ
πππππππππ
9. Be as supportive as you can be to your children, spouse and family members. Encourage each other to be the best you can be during this holy monthπ«π«π«π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦
πππππππππ
10. If you cannot physically spare time to do nafil during the day due to school, work or other commitments, Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) is a great way of keeping proactive and solidifying our connection with Allah S.W.T. Why not make a Dhikr/ dua list to say daily or at different times of the day? βπ½ππ
πππππππππ
11. No prayer is too much or little. Ask for whatever you want and BELIEVE that Allah S.W.T will fulfill it for you In Shaa Allah.
πππππππππ
Forward to others of this has benefitted you and May Allah S.W.T answer all our duas, bless each and every one of our efforts (big or small) and may he continue to guide us in all our affairs (Amin).
Ramadan Mubarak to you and your family ππππ

*7-tips how to prepare for the*
πΏ *Ramadan*πΏ
πππππππππ
1β£ *FAST VOLUNTARILY*
This monthβShabaanβis the prime time to start fasting those extra fasts or making up your missed fasts from last *Ramadan.*
Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said, βOh Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting in any other month like you fast in Shabaan.β He said, βThat is a month to which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadan, and it is a month in which deeds are lifted up to the Lord of the Worlds. I like for my deeds to be lifted up when I am fasting.'β (Narrated by al-Nasaai)
*The best way to prepare fasting for a whole month is to start fasting often, in order to gain control over your actions, stomach and desires.*
βFast Mondays and Thursdays:
Abu Hurairah reported that the most the Prophet (pbuh) would fast would be Monday and Thursday. He was asked about that and he said: βThe deeds of people are presented to Allah on every Monday and Thursday. Allah forgives every Muslim except for those who are deserting each other.β (Hasan)
Fast the White Daysβ13th, 14th and 15th of each Islamic month:
*Abu Tharr Al-Ghefari said: βThe Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, βOh Abu Dharr! If you fast three days of every month, then fast the 13th, 14th and 15th (these are called Al-Ayaam Al-Beedh, the White Days).'β (Sahih)*
The Prophet said, β(Allah said), βEvery good deed of Adamβs son is for him except fasting; it is for Me, and I shall reward (the fasting person) for it.β Verily, the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better to Allah than the smell of musk.β (Bukhari)
2β£ *RECITE and REFLECT UPON the QURβAN:*
Start now to reflect on portions of the Qurβan to get closer to Allah and understand your responsibilities. Every single time you read the Qurβan, you will uncover more depths of meaning and benefit in this world and the hereafter.
Aishah (ra) related that the Prophet (pbuh) said: βIndeed the one who recites the Qurβan beautifully, smoothly and precisely, will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. As for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have twice that reward.β (Muslim)
3β£ *FOLLOW the SUNNAH and PRAY EXTRA PRAYERS*
Learn more about the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and follow him by emulating his actions.
βSay, [Oh Muhammad], If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.β (Qurβan 3:31)
4β£ *REPENT and MAKE DUAβA*
We all make mistakes, but alhamdulilah we can always repent.
The Prophet (pbuh) said: βAll the children of Adam constantly err, but the best of those who constantly err are those who constantly repent.β (Tirmidhi)
5β£ *GIVE CHARITY:*
This world can only be a better place if we help each other. In return, Allah rewards us in both worlds.
The Messenger (pbuh) said, βAllah is in the aid of His servant as long as His aide is in the assistances of others.β (Muslim)
βWho is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He will multiply it for him and he will have a noble reward?β (Qurβan 57:11)
The Prophet also said: βGive charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.β (Al-Tirmidhi)
6β£ *IMPROVE Your CHARACTER*
Everyone can be a little bit more kind and work on different aspects of their character.
The Prophet (pbuh) used to say: βThe best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character.β (al-Bukhari)
7β£ *EAT HEALTHY and MODERATELY*
With less time to eat in Ramadan, we really need to pay attention to what we eat. Now is the best time to research the nutritious value of the food we eat. While we fast, the food we eat before we start our fast or to break our fast needs to provide the optimal energy so we can accomplish our daily tasks and increase our worship.
Overeating too is hazardous.
Ash-Shafiβi said: ββI have not filled myself in 16 years because filling oneself makes the body heavy, removes clean understanding, induces sleep and makes one weak for worship.β
In order to take full advantage of this holy month, we need to prepare ourselves spiritually, mentally and physically. InshaβAllah if we constantly try to improve ourselves, then when we reach Ramadan, we will be able to easily move to the next level spiritually.
_May Allah permit us to witness this coming Ramadan_
