Approach Ramadhan Successfully




The best ways of preparing for the month of Ramadaan are:

1 –Sincere repentance

This is important to hasten to repent from sins between you and your Lord, and between you and other people by giving them their rights, so that when the blessed month begins you may busy yourself with acts of worship with a clean heart and peace of mind.Allaah says“And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful”[al-Noor 24:31]

Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O people, repent to Allaah for I repent to Him one hundred times each day.” Narrated by Muslim (2702).


2 –Du’aa’ (supplication)

The Muslim should ask his Lord to let him live until Ramadaan with a strong religious commitment and good physical health, and he should ask Him to help him obey Him during the month, and ask Him to accept his good deeds from Him.

 3-write your Ramadhan time table

If you write down how your ibadah would be it will be easy for you to attain the fruits of ramadhan.Example if you can read at least 4 pages of Quran after every prayer you could finish the whole quran in the month of Ramadhan .

4– Rejoicing at the approach of the blessed month

The arrival of Ramadaan is one of the great blessings that Allaah bestows upon His Muslim slave, because Ramadaan is one of the occasions of good in which the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed. It is the month of the Qur’aan and of decisive battles in the history of our religion.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say: ‘In the Bounty of Allaah, and in His Mercy (i.e. Islam and the Qur’aan); —therein let them rejoice.’ That is better than what (the wealth) they amass”[Yoonus 10:58]

5– Seeking knowledge in order to be able to follow the rulings on fasting and to understand the virtues of Ramadaan.  http://ssumaiya.blogspot.com/2013/07/ramdhan-reminders.html

6 – Hastening to complete any tasks that may distract the Muslim from doing acts of worship.
such as building or making the damages in your house or cleaning all the stuffs and shopping for eid etc...

7– Sitting with one’s family members
wife and children – to tell them of the rulings on fasting and encourage the young ones to fast Give them small gift to encourage them fast on this month.

8– Reading Qur’aan

Abu Bakr al-Balkhi said: The month of Rajab is the month for planting, the month of Sha’baan is the month of irrigating the crops, and the month of Ramadaan is the month of harvesting the crops. Make sure you read quran and train your kids too

And Allaah is the Source of strength.
