Ramadan: The Month of Mercy and Blessings:
As soon as the moon of Ramadan rises, mercy and blessings begin to pour down. This is the month in which the immense mercy of Allah Almighty descends upon us, and we get the opportunity to improve our deeds. In this month,
we should work hard to improve our spiritual, moral, and physical condition. Let us pledge to spend this blessed month in the best way to achieve maximum goodness. Ramadan: The Month of Mercy and Blessings:
12. Things to do:
1. Cleaning the Hearts
Before the moon of Ramadan rises, we should cleanse our hearts of bad emotions such as envy, malice, grudge, and hatred. If we have any resentment towards anyone, forgive them and clean our hearts so that we can fully benefit from the blessings of Ramadan. Ramadan: The Month of Mercy and Blessings:
2. Dua for Sighting the Moon
When the moon of Ramadan is sighted, one should recite the dua for sighting the moon according to the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and pray to Allah for goodness and blessings. Ramadan: The Month of Mercy and Blessings:
3. Importance of Suhoor
Suhoor should be arranged even if you are not hungry. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has emphasized having Suhoor and said that there is a blessing in Suhoor. Therefore, we should not make it a habit to skip Suhoor.
4. Time organization
Every moment of Ramadan is precious, so planning time is very important. This month is not limited to fasting and praying, but in it we should perform worship in an organized manner. Make a schedule of activities throughout the day so that time is not wasted.
5. Observance of prayers and Taraweeh
It is most important to perform the five daily prayers on time. In addition, Taraweeh has special importance among night prayers. We should also arrange Taraweeh in Ramadan to increase our worship. Ramadan: The Month of Mercy and Blessings:
6. Recitation of the Quran
The month of Ramadan is the month of the Quran, so include its recitation in your daily routine. If possible, recite at least one paragraph every day and try to understand its translation and interpretation. Ramadan: The Month of Mercy and Blessings:
7. Abundance of prayers
Ramadan is the month of acceptance of prayers, so make a list of your prayers and talk to Allah about your heart every day. Ask Allah Almighty for every legitimate need, ask for the goodness of this world and the hereafter, and pray for forgiveness. Ramadan: The Month of Mercy and Blessings:
8. Charity
One should give some charity every day, even if it is in small amounts. Allah Almighty blesses those who give charity with countless blessings, and its reward increases many times over in Ramadan.
9. Preparing for Suhoor and Iftar
Do not consider Suhoor and Iftar as just a means of eating and drinking, but rather for the pleasure of Allah. Show a cheerful heart while preparing food and arrange for Iftar with others as well. Ramadan: The Month of Mercy and Blessings:
10. Avoiding suspicion
It is a sin to have wrong thoughts about someone, especially during Ramadan. Always think well of others and keep your heart free from all kinds of negative thoughts.
11. Protecting the tongue
In Ramadan, protect your tongue from all kinds of nonsense, backbiting, gossip, lies, and abusive language. Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah and repent and seek forgiveness as much as possible.
12. Avoiding anger
Ramadan is the month of patience, so avoid getting angry. Be kind to everyone, especially your family, and show love and kindness. Ramadan: The Month of Mercy and Blessings:
The real purpose of Ramadan
The real purpose of Ramadan is not just to be hungry and thirsty, but to gain closeness to Allah. We should remove the love of this world from our hearts and prepare for the Hereafter. Pray to Allah to make us independent of the fleeting love of this world and guide us on the path to Paradise. Ramadan: The Month of Mercy and Blessings:
May Allah accept from us and from you righteous deeds.
