ramadan 2010
Fasting in the month of Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam. Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said : “It is Allah’s own month”. I believe we should prepare and plan before the arrival of Ramadan. Preparing means to organize our daily routine in such a way that we get more time for prayer, recitation of Quran, nawafil, meditation and living peacefully with the people around us. Its better to finish all the shopping before Ramadan starts and keep iftar cooking simple.
I have this very useful list of required daily activities during Ramadan. I will put this room on my working table to make sure that I get to do maximum activities from checklist. You take a print and check your score this Ramadan.
