Start Preparing
And to fast is better for you, if only you knew.
(al-Baqara, 2:184)
If we do not prepare for the arrival of Ramadan, we may miss out on reaping the benefits of the entire month. Every moment in Ramadan is priceless, and we must utilize our time efficiently and to the best of our ability.
It is normal and expected that switching from a state of not fasting to daily fasting will disrupt our everyday routine. However, it can be doubly difficult to adjust when we approach Ramadan heedlessly. Thus, trying to construct and implement our Ramadan action plans at last minute may result in us feeling disappointed and frustrated with the outcome.
Do not wait for the month to begin before thinking about how to handle life while fasting. Instead, start planning now. If we aim to take advantage of the tremendous blessing of Ramadan, then it is essential that we first dedicate the effort to preparing our minds, bodies, and souls to receive the month.
The following are useful ideas:
PREPARING OUR MINDS
Read about the virtues of Ramadan so that we become motivated to fast and excited to worship more.
Cut down on social media, movies, and any distractions that will
take our focus away from investing in Ramadan activities.
Purchase a Ramadan planner or a Qur'an journal to help organize
our goals and thoughts.
