Ramadan Preparation 2013

Get ready for Ramadaan !!!

Less than a month is remaining for Ramadan. And we must begin preparing for
it right away. To prepare ourselves before the month of Ramadan arrives
is far better than waiting till it comes. To prepare ourselves for
anything in life is a sign of wisdom and maturity. No one is assured of
living one day more; tomorrow may not come. So hurry and benefit from blessings and rewards from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala)

DO'S:

1. Start reading Quran daily after Salat al-Fajr.
2. Spend some time listening to recitations from the Quran.
3. Train yourself to go bed early so that you can wake up far Salat al-Fajr.
4. Keep yourself in a state of Wudu (Ablution) most of the time.

6. Thank Allah for good deeds, and repent to Him for your mistakes and sins. Keep on repeating, "Alhumdulillah", " Subhan Allah" , "Allahu Akbar" "Astaghfirullah" etc.
7. Start giving Sadaqah daily, no matter how little. Make it a habit like eating and drinking.
8. Find time to pray extras, such as Tahajjud prayers.
