How Much Have We Prepared for Ramadan?It was narrated from some of the salaf that they used to pray to Allaah for six months in advance to let them live until Ramadaan. The Sahaabah radiAllaahu 3anhum used to prepare for Ramadaan six months in advance.
So, how much have we prepared?Yes, the majority of us, if not all of us…so what are we waiting for?Let’s start now ,it’s never too late to do
any single good deed !Countdown has started 13 days are left « Oh Allah ,let us reach Ramadan »"Make a Plan!" "Look at your objectives and try to plan out how to realize them in this month. For example, perhaps you are really struggling to pray your sunnah prayers. In this month, realize the enormity of the ajr (reward) of praying the sunnah prayers. Think that perhaps these sunnah will be the deeds that will be heavy on your scale of good deeds when you are intensely in need of them—on Yawm al-Qiyamah, the Day of Judgment. Therefore, fight to keep doing them all throughout Ramadan. If you can’t pray your 2 rak`at after dhuhr (the afternoon prayer) right away, make sure to do them as soon as you get the chance.
Your plan might look something like this:
Objective: Pray all of my fardh prayers.
Method: Envision myself on the Day of Judgment seeing the weight of praying my sunnah consistently during this month. Make sure to pray sunnah immediately after salah (prayer). If I cannot, do it as soon as the opportunity arises—don’t let myself put it off!
Another example is that of finishing the Qur’an:
Objective: Finish the entire Qur’an in this month.
Method: Read 4 pages of the Qur’an after every salah. 5 prayers X 4 pages = 20 pages. 20 pages= about 1 juz. 1 juz X 30= the entire Qur’an.
Aim to strive this Ramadan. With a very small amount of effort, such as just making a small intention or adding a few extra acts of worship, we pray that Allah (swt) will help our hearts soften and honor us with making it easy to turn to Him and open up to Him.
May Allah (swt) make us of the successful in Ramadan, and make it easy for us to turn to Him completely and perpetually.
Ameen."
