Ramadan is one of the most auspicious and blessed month of the Islamic calendar. It is during this month that Allah imprisons Iblees and allows Muslims to fast from dawn till dusk and pray to Allah during the night. During this month, all Muslims fast and pray to Allah and seek His forgiveness. It is such a blessed month that during this month, Allah revealed the Quran as well.

Regarding Ramadan, Allah says in the holy Quran,

O you who believe, fasting is decreed for you, as it was decreed for those before you, that you may attain salvation. [2:183]

Allah also says in the Holy Quran,

Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur-an, as a guide to mankind, also Clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put you to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful. Quran – Surah Al Bakarah Ayah 185.

Preparation of Ramadan

Since during Ramadan the entire routine changes, it needs some preparation beforehand. Therefore, if you can, try to prepare for Ramadan before Ramadan starts. Some of the important preparations of Ramadan are given below.

1. Purchase all the necessities of Ramadan beforehand. This will allow you to spend less time and effort during the month. It will also enable you to focus on the religious duties as you will have purchased all the important data prior to the month begins.

2. Start readjusting your sleeping habits before the month begins. If you wake up late in the morning, start by getting up early an hour from your usual time everyday to make it easy getting up for Fajr prayers.

3. Fast during the month of Shaban. These are sunnah fasts and will allow you to get into the habit of fasting before Ramadan begins. Shaban fasts are also considered very rewarding.

4. Reduce the time spent on watching TV. This will allow you to prepare for the spirit of Ramadan and you might not require a sudden change while transitioning into Ramadan.

5. Make reading and listening to Quran a habit. If you don t get time to read at home, you can read Quran online every day at work if you can spare some time for your religious duties.

6. Look out for health tips and cooking tips that can help you during Ramadan. For example, you can look for tips that will help you stay hydrated for the entire day even without drinking water. Similarly, look for dishes and cooking tips that will help you reduce the time spent on cooking. You can use the saved time to rest or to engage yourself in worship.

Conclusion

Therefore, Ramadan is one of the most auspicious months of the Islamic year. It is best to read Quran online

during Ramadan as it will help you use some spare time at work to worship Allah. Also, follow the tips mentioned above to prepare for the Holy month.
