Rebecca Pena

Ramadan is coming soon InshaAllah 🤲🏻 it is important to prepare you body, mind, and soul in order to gain the maximum benefit. It is important that we prepare ourselves in the best way possible so that we can gain the most out of this holy month. For many it can be difficult. Here are a few suggestions to help prepare. 

Une check-list pour ne rien oublier quand on s'expatrie

1.Educate yourself 

Make a list of books to read. ( Quran, tafsir and Hadith both) 

2. Start Clean – Seek Repentance 

Ask Allah to forgive your sins so that you may start with a clean slate for this month.

3. Remind Others 

Educate the younger ones about the importance of Ramadan and remind the older ones of its purpose.

4. Make a list of dua for Ramadan 

Make a list of dua that come to mind beforehand so that you don’t forget during the month of Ramadan.

5. Fix your Salah

Salah is the second pillar of Islam, so you should start praying 5 times a day before the month begins. 

6. Set achievable goals 

Plan early and set do- able goals for Ramadan. 

7. Save money for charity 

Using your money for charity brings great rewards so start saving now. 

8. Clean-sweep all social media. 

Remove anyone or anything that may cause temptation or distress. 

May the blessings of Ramadan be on all of us. May Allah accept and grant our prayers and fasts. Ameen.
