How would you pass the coming Ramadan?

If by the Grace of Allah Ta’la you get the coming Ramadan in your life please do the following:

1. Remember Rasulullah Sallallahualaiyhiwasallam advised us to perform FOUR DEEDS in abundance – on this sacred month:
i. Seek forgiveness (Istegfar)
ii. Utter La-Ilaha-Illallah
iii. Seek Paradise (Jannah)
iv. Seek salvation from hell (Jahannam)

2. Recite the Qur'an as much as you can (better make a routine/fix up time to read)

3. Don’t miss Tahajjud before after Sehri

4. Make plenty of Dua (if possible read each Manzil of Monajate Makbul everyday)

5. Fix up some Nafl prayers (Salat) and perform everyday

6. Perform pure Tawba from major sins and seek Allah Ta’la’s Support to be steadfast on Tawba

7. Pray humbly before and after Iftar

8. Make a firm intention not to mix with bad company at all at least just in this month; the time spent with friends only for chatting must be replaced by reading books of Hadith (Riyadus Saleheen/Ma’riful Hadith) or spend those time in good company (who only make you remember about life hereafter)

9. In Ramadan many of us can start performing some compensatory deeds with the intention to carry on even after Ramadan. Such as: those who hasn’t learnt to recite Holy Quran – start learning it correctly; those who don’t know how to perform Wudu and Salat correctly – start learning etc. These learning time will be Inshallah be counted as achieving ‘Knowledge of Deen’ (Ilm).

10. Always remember – may be this is the last Ramadan in your life – indeed one Ramadan would certainly be the final one in your life. So just believe that this is the one and only opportunity in life to seek Allah Ta’la’s Forgiveness and Pleasure.

11. Attend lectures of wise men – they are the Ulamas. Speech of Ulama/Religious Scholars are essential to acquire right knowledge of Islam. If possible start to build up direct and personal relationship with them – and this would be most helpful.
Caution: Don’t attend speech of those Ulama – who are commercial and artificially deliver lectures. Often they attract attention of those who don’t know much about Islam. General people fall into their pitfall and attain all wrong knowledge.

12. Remember that Ramadan has been divided by 3 parts: Rahmah (Bounty), Magfirat (Forgiveness) and Najat (Salvation from Hell). Pass each and everyday with care – pray accordingly with humbleness.

13. Talk less – just don’t utter a single unwanted/unnecessary word. Keep yourself absorbed in the sea of Zikr. Remember Allah Ta’la.

14. Recite Dorud Sharif in abundance.

15. Make a pledge I would see no evil things (intentionally) with these two eyes in this Ramadan.

16. Buy a book for learning Sunnah – Start learning simple and easy Sunnah’s and start practicing those in life.

17. Do not indulge yourself in worldly matters proactively. Rather refrain from reading newspapers, listening radio/news – these tasks only take us toward filthy and many unwanted things, which doesn’t refresh rather re-garbage our mind.

18. Just don’t care and give a damn to people who would come and disturb you. Politely advise them to utilize the time of Ramadan. If they listen to you good, otherwise you just avoid them.

19. Besides performing Amals (Good Deeds) bear in mind one point: Our deeds will never save us. Our deeds are full of mistakes. Allah Ta’la’s Grace and Mercy is what can only Save us. We perform deeds because we had been ordered to do so. We must not look down upon those who are not performing good deeds. It is our duty to invite them towards Right Path modestly. Pray for them to Allah Ta’la. We must not in any circumstances boast of our good deeds. All good deeds can only be performed and accepted if Allah Ta’la grants.

20. If possible, sit in Iteqaf on the last 10 days of Ramadan.

21. All the good deeds must be performed only in the intention to Satisfy Allah Ta’la.
