Now That Ramadan Is Less Than A Month, Have You Started Doing These Five Things? by jhasper(m): 7:38am On May 13, 2016 |
As Muslims strive everyday, to get closer to their Creator, by trying to obey His laws, they should start doing these five things before Ramadan actually starts. . . . 1. Fasting in some days in Sha’abaan . According to some books of Hadith. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon his noble soul) is known to have fasted a lot of days in the month of Sha’abaan. In some Hadith, it was reported that after the month of Ramadan, where all Muslims fast the whole month, there is no other month the Prophet fasted as much as Sha’abaan. Muslims are also advised to fast for the first 15 days of Sha’abaan and use the remaining days to prepare for Ramadan. The purpose of this is to put someone in the mood of Ramadan before it actually starts. |

2. Medical checkup
. . . Health is wealth, as the saying goes. That is why Allah reiterated the importance of sound health, while revealing the verses about fasting in the month of Ramadan in verses 184 and 185 of chapter 2 of the Glorious Qur’an stating that, someone who is sick should leave Ramadan and fast in other days (that is when the person has recovered from the sickness or disease). Doing light daily exercise is also advisable. A Muslim woman in her Hijaab doing light exercise in the spirit of Ramadan Muslims should not joke with their health, because sound health is the driver of all life activities. |

3. Financial preparation
It is important to note that a lot of money is
often spent in Ramadan. From buying of food
items to spending on the poor and needy,
someone must make sure to have enough in
order not to put himself in a tight corner,
whereby fasting becomes tedious to do. |

4. Settling discord if there is any
. Muslims are always advised to join ties with their loved ones and others alike. One of the things Allah did lay emphasis on in His Book of wisdom is joining ties with our loved ones and others alike. The more someone settles the differences between others and himself, the closer Allah is to the person and vice versa. Either someone lives with a Muslim or non- Muslim, there should never be acrimony with that person. This is because hatred and the likes make the blessings and favour of Allah move away from someone who is involved in such things. Likewise, how will someone go into the month of Ramadan (the month of forgiveness and mercy) with a negative mindset? . . . 5. Increasing all acts of worship . . . There are plethora acts of worship, whereby no Muslim can practise all. However, if a Muslim is told or knows that a particular deed is an act of worship, as approved by the Glorious Qur’an and the Books of Hadith and scholars who are on the true path of the Prophet of Allah, such a Muslim should hasten to do them, as no one is guaranteed what will happen to him in the next few minutes.

Must one wait for the ramadan before doing these five things? I thought it should be a way of life not something you do and go for break waiting for a time like this to come then you start. Just asking Shaa. ThePrinceInTheHouse |
