The holy month of Ramadan is just around the corner, it is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is also the blessed month in which the Holy Quran was completed and Laylatul Qadr or the Night of Decree also comes in this holy month. This month is considered the most beneficial and the highest ranked among all months. This is a month of spiritual reflection and renewal.

This is the same month in which the doors of hell are closed and the doors of the heavens are opened. In this month people fast during the day starting with Fajar (the morning prayer) and ending with Maghrib (the sunset prayer). Fasting during this month is obligatory for all adult Muslims or those who have reached puberty.

This month is better than all of the months and Lyalatul Qadr or the night of decree is better than thousand months, as mentioned in the Holy Quran. This means in this holy month whatever you do you will be rewarded 2 times more, and on the night of the decree all prayers are accepted till the time of Fajar.

You can do a lot of things in this month in order to get the best out of this month, increase your emaan and good deeds too. We have gathered some tips for you that you can follow to get high in your rank in the eyes of Allah SWT.

Things To Do In The Holy Month Of Ramadan

There are a lot of things to do in the holy month of Ramadan but we have taken out the best practices that you can follow:

• Fasting
• Prayers
• Read Quran
• Repentance
• Staying Away From Evil
• Making Duas and Doing Dhikr
• Give Charity

• Fasting

While you will think that it is obvious to fast this month but there are some things to consider. Sometimes our nafs misguide us into not fasting. There are times when we are a bit tired or ill and that is the time when our nafs tell us to not fast today as we are tired or ill, but we have to fast no matter what, unless or until there is any risk of our life attached.

Apart from that, you should also maintain the highest standards of fasting by focusing on your fast and seeking to please Allah SWT through it. Do your best possible to not curse or do anything evil in general and do as many good deeds as you can.

• Prayers

Just like fasting praying is also an obvious thing however we neglect some things in this too. Because we do not pray often before the month of Ramadan and maybe miss one or two prayers on a day-to-day basis. Thus, we do not pray as we should.

Focus is the first thing that is required for praying properly in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Prophet PBUH and the Holy Quran. When you focus on your prayers you dive deep into it and this increases your spirituality and helps you actually pray according to the Quran and Sunnah.

• Reading Quran

Taking about the Holy Quran why should we not mention it as a means of getting the best of this month? This is the book that was revealed by the highest and the all mighty Allah SWT on the most commendable and the guided one Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

This is the highest book of all and there are so many benefits of reading it. You get 10 rewards for every letter that you read and more if you read it incorrectly unintentionally while trying to read it. Apart from that it has a lot of other benefits as well. It calms the heart, it brings you closer to Allah SWT, and much more. It is a highly appreciated deed to observe in this holy month.

• Repentance

One of the top things that Allah SWT loves is repentance. It is also one of the most beautiful things that you can do in this month as the lord opens his doors of mercy and looks for anyone who is there to repent for any of their sins.

There are many benefits of repentance. Some of its benefits are; it gets you closer to Allah SWT, bad deeds change into good deeds, repentance brings happiness and brings peace to your heart, and many other things.

• Staying Away From Evil

In this holy month, you should always stay away from any evil even when you are not fasting. This will help you in the future too as shytan is locked up in this month so you can easily stay away from evil deeds and help you in building good habits. This will also give you time to do good deeds and get the blessings of Allah SWT.

 

• Making Duas And Doing Dhikr

Another thing you can do this month is make duas and do dhikr. Both of these things are really powerful and can really shake one’s soul. Dua has the power over your fate and it can change it too.

On the other hand, dhikr protects you from shaytan and evil deeds in general, you remember Allah SWT. It protects you against punishments, increases your good deeds, and much more.

• Giving Charity

Giving charity (or “zakat” in Arabic) is an important part of Ramadan. Giving to those in need is considered an act of worship that brings spiritual benefits and blessings.

Muslims are required to give a portion of their wealth to charity each year, which is known as “zakat.” During Ramadan, many Muslims choose to give additional charity beyond their annual zakat obligation. This is known as “sadaqah,” which is voluntary charity given out of generosity and kindness.

Doing so will not benefit you only but the one too you are giving. If you want to donate or give zakat you can easily give it through MOHID.

MOHID – Complete Masjid Management System
