Ramadan Mubarak

As this month of holiness aproaches us I would like to share a few ideas that may probably help you create a little difference each day.

1. Make a list of Duas that you want to ask.
2. If you have phone calls to make or other matters to follow up on, try to do them before the month starts
3. Groceries and even Eid clothes for the family should be ready before the month starts in order to prevent waste of time.
4. use your freezer. Stock up on groceries and easy to prepare foods that save time and effort.
5. Try to read Quran with understanding even if it be a little each day.
6. Set goals for yourself and plans on how you will achieve them. For example you can say that you will make time for Sura mulk on Sundays, Sura kahf on Fridays and Sura yaseen on thursdays. Try to read the meanings of these suras before the month approaches
7. Make iftar a special time for family and dua. Encourage everyone to be there even if they are not fasting.
8. Make zikr all the time. Even when washing dishes or sweeping the floor
9. Prolong your sajda – make as much dua as possible during Sajda
10. Do as many sunnah prayers as possible.
11. Give Charity
