# Pre-Ramadan Tip No. 1: Fast Nawafil fasts in Shaban (Shaykh Khalid Fikry, Khatib of Wembley Central Mosque) It is important to prepare the body both spirtually and physically for Ramadan. From the physical aspect, fasting before Ramadan is a brilliant idea to get us into the habit and the mood of fasting. Usamah Ibn Zaid reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting any month as much as you fast during Sha’ban.” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “It is a month people neglect between Rajab and Ramadan. It is a month in which the deeds are raised to the Lord of the worlds and I like for my deeds to be raised while I am fasting.” (Sunan An-Nasa’i 2357) It is also important to remember that we are fasting for the sole pleasure of Allah in order to reap the rewards.
