Ramadhan Kareem

Ramadan Kareem to you all

It's a time of forgiveness and a time of learning.
Allah Ta'llah knew that there would come an age where during the year no one would recall Him, so for our sake, He made this blessed month compulsory upon the followers of Islam, so that we may use these 30 days to ask for forgiveness and potentially save ourselves from the Fire.

The best way to gain the most rewards is to read Quran. Read as much as you can, not just in Arabic. Learn the translation, understand what it is you are reading and learn the story behind it. Each passage in the Holy Quran comes with a universe of meaning, all as a means of getting closer to Allah.

Also, learn about the translation in namaz, to help your concentration. Did you know that during Surah Al-Fathiha, as you praise Allah Ta'llah, He praises you back? Learn, that in the days when Prayer was given, the Prophet Muhammed was told to go and Allah to decrease the amount of Prayers from 100, to 50, to 25, and finally 5. Even then, the Prophet was told to go back and ask Allah to decrease the amount, but the Prophet could not face it. He entrusted his true followers to pray 5 times a day. Think about how it must've have been for Our Prophet to even have to go back the first time?

Not only this, assume a habit of reading Tahajjud namaz. Once your Sehri / Suhoor time is over, Tahajjud namaz occurs ten minutes before Fajr begins. Your intention will be to read nafl of Tahajjud namaz. You can do as many as you like. Group it as two or four nafl rakats. This namaz is when Allah Ta'llah is the closest to the Earth and asks His servants if there is anything they desire. Forgiveness is what we all desire most. But it is a time where you are known as a Knight of the darkness, the beloved Servant who rises for the sake of his/her Lord. To meet your Lord. To be with your Lord.

After Fajr namaz, read Surah Yaseen and Surah Muza'Mil, make a dua and Insha'Allah it is sure to come true.
Before sleeping read Surah Mulk, for the protection of Angels to come to you at night.

Apart from these, basic tips include:
Plenty of water! Never drink water as soon as Iftar time is here!
Miswak is sunnah, be sure to use it.
Try and make the intention of finishing the Quran.
Keep away from harmful people.
Do wudu as often as you can.
Take the time to memorise a few verses of the Quran.
Spend a little extra time at Mosque.
Go outside and walk, breathe in the fresh air and think about the beauty that Allah has created.
Count your blessings.
Say Allah Hu Akbar as often as you can.
Read Aytul-Kursi.

Insha'Allah this isn't too overwhelming, and all of you have a brilliant Ramadan. Don't forget to also pray for the Ummah.

4 days? Wow. Time does fly...
