Ramadan Preparation



The month of Ramadan requires preparation because it requires complete dedication on part of the Muslim. Some of the important things that you need to prepare for the month of Ramadan are given below.
  1. Intention to Prepare: One of the most essential elements of preparing for the arrival of Ramadan is to make the intention for preparation. The preparation begins the day you start practicing humility and patience and learn how to control your anger.
  2. Perform Rewarding Actions: In the spirit of Ramadan, it is best to start preparing for the holy month by performing actions that are rewarding and appreciated by Allah. According to a hadith, “If a person says “SubhanAllah” (glory be to Allah) 100 times, a thousand good deeds are recorded for him and a thousand bad deeds are wiped away.” Narrated by Muslim 2073
  3. Increase the Worship: To start preparing for the holy month of Ramadan, it is best if you start increasing your worship. This will allow you to adjust your routine for the arrival of Ramadan.
  4. Determine Specific Days for Fasting: To adjust your body to fasting, it is best that you start fasting beforehand. You should define specific days for fasting. For example, if you fast every Monday and Thursday, you will be fully prepared for Ramadan without losing your health.
  5. Read Quran Regularly: For individuals who have not prepared for reading and reciting Quran during Ramadan,Quran recitation while fasting becomes difficult. It is best if you start reading Quran after Fajr prayer on a daily basis just to prepare for the Ramadan spirit.
  6. Adjust Sleeping Habits: Ramadan teaches a Muslim to adjust the way one leads his life. Therefore, before the arrival of Ramadan, it is ideal if you start adjusting your sleeping habits. You should start off by going to bed early and waking up early. If you are used to this routine, you will not feel sleepy and tired when Ramadan arrives.
  7. Define Objectives: Ramadan is the ideal month to embark on your journey to fresh objectives. If you are a smoker and want to quit this habit, you should start off with this month. If you want to be an early riser, still Ramadan is the perfect month for you.
Conclusion
In essence, Ramadan is the most blessed and rewarding month. Therefore, all Muslims should try their best to avoid entering the month of Ramadan without any preparation. Regular Quran reading and recitation and offering prayers will help you prepare for the Ramadan spirit.

Before setting out for Hajj

  Before setting out for Hajj: The Most Important Spiritual Preparation for Every Pilgrim Hajj is not just a journey of the body — it is a journey of the heart. Long before a pilgrim steps onto the plane, long before the ihrām is worn, and long before the talbiyah rises from the tongue, the heart must be prepared to stand before Allah in the most sacred days of a believer’s life. Among all the checklists, packing guides, and logistical preparations, there is one question every pilgrim must ask: “What is the most important thing I should do before Hajj in terms of my ʿaqīdah and inner state?” The answer, according to the scholars of the past and present, is beautifully simple: Purify your Tawḥīd and  make sincere tawbah. Everything else flows from these two foundations. 1. Renewing Tawḥīd: The Heart of Hajj Hajj is the greatest physical expression of Tawḥīd. Every ritual — from the talbiyah to the ṭawāf — proclaims the Oneness of Allah. For this reason, the heart must be c...

O you who have believed...(Part-1)

    O you who have believed Let us have a look at all the signs in the Noble Quran where Allah, the Almighty addresses the Believers directly. It is important to know what Allah, the Almighty says to those who profess their belief and Faith in Him. As believers in the One True God, Allah, we must have a closer look at all the commands that have been given by our Merciful Lord addressing us directly: O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer.

Why I wear Hijab.

The topic of Hijab has always been a controversial topic for many among those who are not Muslims and even among those who are Muslims.  When something is not understood clearly and is approached with a stance that is personal and emotional then it is indeed a matter of doubt and uncertainty. But, when you intend to understand something sincerely and try to find out its origin and meaning from the most authentic sources then there remains no doubt and hesitation and you tend to accept it readily with ease. The same goes for the topic of Hijab. Most of the people think that Hijab is a choice and not a command by Allah in the Noble Quran and they present various points to prove it.  I am just a student of Al Quran and I myself did not wear Hijab till I entered University. But one fine day, by the Will of Allah, I was reading the Chapter 24 The Light (An Noor) in the Quran. I came across the famous verses on Hijab and I felt something inside my heart. I realized that these are...
