With Ramadan less that 3 months away, lets strive to prepare ourselves for the blessed month. The Sahaba (Radiallahu Anhum) would prepare for the next Ramadan as soon as it finished. Plant the seeds now so you are ready to make the most of this beautiful month. 3 Ways to prepare for Ramadan: 1) Voluntary fasts - Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) would fast every Monday and Thursday. It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him that he said: the Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: The deeds (of mankind) are presented (to Allah) every Monday and Thursday, and I like that my deed be presented (to Allah) while I am fasting. [At-Tirmidhi and Classified it as Hasan (Good)] To Fast three days every month. Preferably, the white days (13-15 where the moon is full) It is narrated on the authority of Ibn Milhan that he said: The Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) ordered us to fast the white days of every month, the thirteenth, the fourteenth and the fifteenth, and said in that respect: “(Fasting) those days weigh (in reward fasting) the days of this life time.” [Reported by Abu Dawud] 2) Reciting Quran - recite at least a small portion daily and improve your relationship with the book of Guidance. Recite the Holy Qur’an as much as we can for It will come as an intercessor for its reciter’ on the Day of Judgement [Muslim] 3) Sincere repentance - Ramadan is a month where we can gain Mercy and Forgiveness from Allah, therefore strive to be in the habit of repenting from now. Allah says: O son of Adam, if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and you would then seek My forgiveness, I would forgive you. [Tirmidhi]
