Best Ways To Prepare For Ramadan/Quran Reading

The Companions of Prophet Muhammed (SAW) used to prepare for Ramadan six months ahead. So, if we – today’s Muslims – really want to make the best of this Ramadan, then we need to prepare for it now!

Concise News reports that fasting is more than just abstaining from food but from indecent speech and lustful desires as well. Fasting makes us mindful of our actions, patient and be morally upright, thereby increasing our taqwa (God-consciousness).

This online news medium presents to you some ways you can improve on different aspects of your life so you can fully benefit from Ramadan, a period when deeds are multiplied.

1. Fast Voluntarily:

This month—Shabaan – is the best time to start fasting those extra fasts or making up your missed fasts from last Ramadan.

Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said, ‘Oh Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting in any other month like you fast in Shabaan.’ He said, ‘That is a month to which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadan, and it is a month in which deeds are lifted up to the Lord of the Worlds. I like for my deeds to be lifted up when I am fasting.’” (Narrated by al-Nasaai)

The best way to prepare to fast for a whole month is to start fasting often, in order to gain control over your actions, stomach and desires.
