God encouraged us to fast and do extra good deeds during the months of Rajab and Sha`ban as a means of preparing ourselves for Ramadan. Rajab and Sha`ban can be considered the months of sowing, while Ramadan the month of reaping. To really have good harvest in Ramadan plant your seeds in those months; train your body to wake up one hour before fajr prayer, read more Qur\u2019an during the day; fast on the preferred days, such as Mondays and Thursdays; and practice doing extra good deeds. By doing this, you will ease your way into Ramadan and performing those extra \u2018ibadat (acts of worship) during Ramadan will become very easy for you Insha\u2019Allah.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you haven\u2019t prepared for this Ramadan, make the intention to do it next Ramadan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2. <strong>Be Realistic, Consistent<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We usually enter Ramadan with very high aspirations and make promises to ourselves that we often can\u2019t keep due to the impracticality of our goals. If you haven\u2019t trained yourself before Ramadan for the \u2018ibadat you wish to carry out, you will most likely not be able to sustain them. Trying to finish the Qur\u2019an three or four times during Ramadan when you barely read a page a day before Ramadan or wanting to pray tahajjud (extra night prayers) every single night when you\u2019ve been struggling with waking up for fajr, will put too much physical and psychological pressure on you. This will most probably result in you slipping after the first week, losing hope and then giving up entirely. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said:<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00ab\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0623\u064e\u062d\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0623\u064e\u0639\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0650 \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u0650 \u0639\u064e\u0632\u0651\u064e \u0648\u064e\u062c\u064e\u0644\u0651\u064e \u0623\u064e\u062f\u0652\u0648\u064e\u0645\u064f\u0647\u064f \u0648\u064e\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0642\u064e\u0644\u0651\u064e \u200f\u00bb<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Translation: \u00ab<em>The best deeds are those which are consistent even if they are small<\/em>\u00bb (Al-Bukhari).<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you don\u2019t want to suffer from lack of consistency this Ramadan and end up feeling guilty about it, then be realistic in your expectations. Stick to a few `ibadat that you know you will be able to perform and be consistent with them. For example, if you decide to complete the Qur\u2019an only once during the month and pray only two rak`aat (units) tahajjud (late night prayers) every night, and actually sustain this throughout the entire month, it will be much greater in the eyes of Allah than if you put pressure on yourself to do more `ibadat than you can handle and then find you cannot follow through with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3. <strong>Don\u2019t Eat Too Much at Iftar<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ramadan is a month of cleansing &#8211; cleansing of our souls and body. Fasting allows us to feel a little of the hunger pangs that poor people feel; and gives our overworked digestive system a break from continuous digestion. Unfortunately, it has become very common for Muslims to eat so much food at iftar (the meal after sundown that breaks the fast) time and late into the night that they often find that they have gained weight by the end of the month. If you think about it, gaining weight defies the whole purpose of fasting. Instead of detoxing, we end up toxing; and instead of feeling hungry, we end up waking up the next morning feeling bloated and uncomfortable.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The mistake a lot of Muslims often fall into during Ramadan is making so many different kinds of foods and eating them. While the delicious, unhealthy fried food may be very tempting after a long day of fasting, it will just makes us lazy, sleepy and will most definitely result in an unproductive night. We may even be too tired to pray tarawih (the night prayer offered in Ramadan) after a heavy meal.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thus, Iftar should be kept simple, balanced and healthy. Instead of relying mainly on empty carbohydrates that will fill up our stomach but give very little nutritional value to our body, we should choose foods that will nourish our body and provide us with sufficient energy for that night and the next day. If you\u2019re smart with what you eat at iftar and follow the Sunnah (prophetic behavior) of the Prophet, peace be upon him, by filling only a third of your stomach with food, a third with water and allowing a third for air, you\u2019ll immediately notice a difference in your energy level while fasting and after you break your fast Insha\u2019Allah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4. <strong>One Hour before Fajr<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The secret to a productive day is taking advantage of the times that God put barakah (blessing) in. Prophet Muhammad taught us that there is barakah in the early hours of the morning. By spending the hour before fajr in prayer, recitation of Qur\u2019an, and in the remembrance of Allah, you will get the spiritual nourishment your body requires for that day. Just like we need to eat breakfast every morning to give us energy, the spiritual nourishment our body needs is equally important. Without it, we will not have much barakah in our time and we will find ourselves getting tired easily and not being very productive. Additionally, having suhoor (pre-dawn meal) gives us barakah. The Prophet said:<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00ab\u062a\u064e\u0633\u064e\u062d\u0651\u064e\u0631\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0641\u064e\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u062d\u064f\u0648\u0631\u0650 \u0628\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0629\u064b\u00bb<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Translation: \u00ab<em>Have suhoor, for in suhoor there is barakah<\/em>\u00bb (Al-Bukhari).<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Make sure you wake up every morning before fajr, pray at least two rak`aat, make some du\u2019as\u2019 (supplication), read a bit of Qur\u2019an, and have a bite to eat (even if it\u2019s just a few dates). If you try this, I guarantee you, with Allah\u2019s will, that one hour in which you deprive yourself of sleep for Allah\u2019s sake will grant you so much barakah that day. You\u2019ll find that you will finish your work early and still have plenty of time on your hands for your `ibadat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5.<strong> Prepare for Eid Early<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It isn\u2019t by coincidence that the last ten days of Ramadan are the most blessed and contain the most reward. Allah purposely chose these days to be the most rewarding to test us because He knew that very few people will be able to maintain or increase their amount of worship towards the end of Ramadan. As Ramadan comes to an end, not only do we become tired physically (from continuous fasting), but we are also preparing for Eid \u2013 making Eid sweets, buying Eid clothes and even doing Eid cleaning. Therefore, we find ourselves struggling on those last ten days trying to finish our Eid preparations that we end up not having much time for our `ibadat. This is why it is extremely important to prepare for Eid early if you don\u2019t want to miss out on the treasures of the blessed last ten nights.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The last thing you want to be doing on the 27th or 29th night of Ramadan, which are considered two of the most blessed nights of the month and contain a tremendous amount of reward, is spending your time at a shopping center frantically trying to find a pair of shoes to match your Eid outfit or making those last minute Eid sweets. If you prepare for Eid early (preferably even before Ramadan), you will be able to utilize your time in those last ten days in prayer, recitation of Qur\u2019an, remembrance of Allah and doing good deeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">6. <strong>Du\u2019as for Others<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We often get excited before Ramadan as we know that the time Allah will Insha\u2019Allah answer our prayers is just around the corner. Some of us even memorize special du\u2019as and prepare du\u2019as\u2019 lists well in advance. This is a wonderful thing to do of course, but if we want to increase the effectiveness of our du\u2019as, we should make du\u2019as for others. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00ab<strong>\u200f\u0645\u0627 \u0645\u0646 \u0639\u0628\u062f \u0645\u0633\u0644\u0645 \u064a\u062f\u0639\u0648 \u0644\u0623\u062e\u064a\u0647 \u0628\u0638\u0647\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u063a\u064a\u0628 \u0625\u0644\u0627 \u0642\u0627\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0644\u0643 \u0648\u0644\u0643 \u0628\u0645\u062b\u0644\u200f<\/strong>\u00bb<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Translation: \u00ab<em>Whenever you make a supplication for another believer and he is not present, an angel will say \u2018and same to you<\/em>\u00bb (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi).<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When we make du\u2019as for our brother or sister in Islam, we are basically hitting two birds with one stone \u2013 praying for others and ourselves.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Due to the difficult time the Islamic ummah (community) is going through at the moment, let\u2019s all plan to make a great deal of du\u2019as this Ramadan for our brothers and sisters who are suffering in Libya, Syria, Palestine, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and all the other Muslim countries. Choose times in which du\u2019as is answered, such as the last third of the night and when you break your fast, to make the du\u2019as with all sincerity and a wakeful heart. God does answer the prayers of those who supplicate Him. However, the key to receiving an answer to your prayer is to be sincere in your du\u2019as, consistent, and patient. May Allah answer all our prayers this Ramadan. Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">7. <strong>An Opportunity to Purification<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fasting is not only about abstaining from food and drink but it is also about abstaining from anger, backbiting, jealousy, greed, thinking ill of people; and all the other diseases of the heart. Purification of the soul from the illnesses of the heart is not an easy task and the person who is able to free him\/herself from these unhealthy qualities is truly the successful one:<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>{\u0648\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0633\u064d \u0648\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0633\u064e\u0648\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0647\u064e\u0627.\u0641\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0647\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0641\u064f\u062c\u064f\u0648\u0631\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0642\u0652\u0648\u064e\u0627\u0647\u064e\u0627.\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0644\u064e\u062d\u064e \u0645\u064e\u0646 \u0632\u064e\u0643\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0647\u064e\u0627}<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">{<em>And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it; And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and righteousness, he has succeeded who purifies it<\/em>} [Ash-Shams:7-9].<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all suffer from the constant annoying whispers of the Satan (devil) that just won\u2019t go away, thus making the task of purification even more difficult. For this, the blessed month of Ramadan is an ideal time to work on purifying our souls.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Not only does God lock away all those evil devils during the entire month; but fasting in itself is a form of purification. Fasting softens our hearts, weakens our human desires and instills in us the pleasant qualities of patience and will-power. Unlike the normal days of the year, we feel more inclined to do righteous deeds and to keep away from committing sins. This Ramadan, let us all choose one unwanted quality about ourselves that we wish to change and make a conscious effort to purify ourselves of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>8. Monitor Your Intentions<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said:<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00ab\u0627\u0644\u0623\u064e\u0639\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064f \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0644\u0646\u0651\u0650\u064a\u0651\u064e\u0629\u0650\u060c \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064f\u0644\u0651\u0650 \u0627\u0645\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0626\u064d \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0646\u064e\u0648\u064e\u0649\u00bb<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Translation: \u00ab<em>The deeds are considered by their intentions, and a person will get the reward according to his intentions<\/em>\u00bb (Al-Bukhari).<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We usually make an intention before we perform good deeds such as fasting or giving sadaqa (charity). However, we often tend to forget to make an intention for the little everyday tasks we normally do. If you really want your hasanat (reward from good deeds) to soar during Ramadan, make a sincere intention for every little task you perform. For instance, if you\u2019re cooking iftar for your family, make the intention that the time you spend in the kitchen cooking in order to feed your fasting family is to please Allah. If you smile at a stranger in the street, make the intention that you are doing it because smiling at others is considered a form of charity, as the Prophet said:<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00ab\u062a\u064e\u0628\u064e\u0633\u0651\u064f\u0645\u064f\u0643\u064e \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0648\u064e\u062c\u0652\u0647\u0650 \u0623\u064e\u062e\u0650\u064a\u0643\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0643\u064e \u0635\u064e\u062f\u064e\u0642\u064e\u0629\u064c\u00bb<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Translation: \u00ab<em>When you smile in your brother\u2019s face, it is charity<\/em>\u00bb (Sunan al-Tirmidhi).<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even if you get into bed early, make the intention that you are doing this in order to be able to wake up early to pray tahajjud and have suhoor.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Glory be to God; when we make a sincere intention before performing these normal everyday tasks, they transform into `ibadat and we get rewarded for them &#8211; and the reward we get for doing good deeds in Ramadan is multiplied. Imagine the amount of reward we can get simply for sleeping &#8211; something everyone enjoys doing! Allah truly is merciful to His creation.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, we must keep in mind that sometimes our initial intentions may be sincere but very slowly, due to the tricks of the Satan or our nafs (lower desires), our intentions begin to change and aren\u2019t so sincere anymore. This is why it is very important to constantly monitor our intentions and check before we perform any good deed to see whether we are doing it purely for the sake of God or to please other people. If you feel that the good deed you\u2019re doing is to impress others, make a conscious effort to renew your intention. If you\u2019re intention is pure and sincere, then Allah will make performing the good deed easy on you and you will be rewarded for it tremendously Insha\u2019Allah.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ramadan comes once a year, and when it leaves us we don\u2019t know if we will live to see the next one, so let us strive to make the most of this Ramadan. May Allah grant us all a Ramadan full of barakah and blessings. Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>By Zaineb Shebani<\/em><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Source: <strong><em>onislam.net<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A month full of enormous spiritual wealth and reward, Ramadan is an incredible opportunity that we shouldn\u2019t lose out on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-c98-ramadan-showcase"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Get a Ramadan Full of Blessings?
