7 TIPS BEFORE RAMADAN 1. Do your grocery shopping BEFORE the month of Ramadan begins & spend less time running around during the month. Rather use this time to focus on your religious rituals & spiritual development. Let the whole family participate in preparing shopping lists & getting ready for Ramadan! 2. If you’ve developed bad sleeping habits during the year, readjust now so you can wake up in time for sehri. 3. Reduce TV watching and instead engage with your family, especially kids, in doing creative activities such as reading moral story books, learning new surahs, duas & listening to their favourite qari on the CD player. 4. Select the masjid where you will be praying taraweeh prayer. If you plan to take the girls & women of your family with you, make sure they already have their hijabs & abayas picked out. Running to the abaya shop minutes before Isha prayer is not a very good idea! 5. Prepare your kids to help you with the housework, setting the table and preparing the iftaar. This can be made very exciting as we all know how kids love being made responsible, especially in food-based activities! Relate their actions with the notion of sadaqah, reminding them that the reward of their good deeds is multiplied many times over during this blessed month. 6. Every city has several Islamic classes taking place during the month of Ramadan, select the ones of most interest and let your family engage in learning Allah’s deen. Rest assured that the benefits are priceless! (If you’re having trouble finding them, Youth Club can help.) 7. Make a list of those who deserve zakaat and sadaqaat. Donate as much as possible this month to get maximum rewards in-sha’Allah.
