Blessed Posted May 7, 2012 ..only 74 days to Ramadan. SubxanAllah, where does the time go? I've so much I need to do before it starts. Anyway, found a useful article in productivemuslim.com to help with those of you who want to make the most of Ramadan, haduu Alle idmo. It’s a well-established principle that the way to success is gradualism: doing things little by little, stage by stage, but being consistent in it. So with this series, what I hope to do is take one aspect of development at a time, and make that the focus for the month – for the next five months. And when Ramadan hits, insha Allah, we would have covered five important elements of our spiritual lives, and be better prepared to step up in those areas to new and amazing heights. The system being proposed here is open to your suggestions, so please do give feedback if you can contribute anything positive. With regard to topics on a monthly basis, you can choose to go along with what’s suggested, or you can choose your own area to focus on. Each person knows him/herself best, and knows what’s most important for their lives – so focus on what you need to, adopting a structured framework within which to focus your efforts. The general framework for the project: Pick an area you’d like to work on for this month (e.g. character, speech, fasting, charity); or use the one prescribed in this article Analyse what your current condition is in the area (quality, frequency, etc) Look at what your weaknesses / problems are, and their root causes Think of practical methods to overcome those root causes Set up a realistic plan of action to implement those solutions gradually in the coming months, then at a higher pace in Ramadan Goes on to perfecting salah... I so need to work on this! http://www.productivemuslim.com/the-ramadan-early-bird-series/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluelicious Posted May 7, 2012 Great tips will look into it i'm so not ready for Ramadan yet. Is it me or does Ramadan seem to come around faster each year I guess it has to do with the time going faster with each year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wixi danbi aan galabsanayna alle hanaga cafiyo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Narniah Posted May 8, 2012 ^Ameeeen Aaliyyah I still have to make up 6 days! Insha'Allah I'll get onto it. Jzk Blessed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted May 8, 2012 ^Your not alone... Aaliyah, Ameen. We don't know if we're going to reach it but it serves as a reminder to do more cibaadaat. Sensei, It's the guraac, init? LOL. I'm kidding, I love Ramadan too. I wish the conciousness stays with the whole year. Walaalkis, Waa runtaa, try to go if you can, even if for a few weeks. Ramadan in the Muslim world is magical.

Aaliyyah Posted May 8, 2012 Narniah, it is always better to repeat those days around november..I think then the Iftar is like at 4 PM. Inshallah get to it before you forget about it. Blessed, true sis. We definitely should do more ibada. No doubt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raula Posted May 8, 2012 Ameen Aaliyyah. IA Blessed: LOL we're stuck but for the better insha-allah. Indeed hope we reap the rewards & blessing of the holy month to come. Narniah! some people do it 2 days/week i.e. mondays & thursdays..but that depends on your job/vocation/& if you attend school..could be difficult but maybe when you are home most times then fast those days to make up. All the best to you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
