Some Things To Do In Ramadhan

The pious servants of Allaah
will welcome this blessed month, awakening from their negligence, beseeching
Allaah’s pardon, and repenting to Him. They will take a very pledge that they
are, with immense pleasure, going to fully utilize this blessed month of
Ramadaan with all of its mercies and the bliss that it brings. Moreover, they
will spend their precious time worshipping Allaah, increasing their
righteousness and good deeds. Thus, this month is meritorious for special pious
deeds in which there are surely many virtues.

1. Read Quraan
learning the translation of the meaning, pondering over its Verses are also recommended
and encouraged acts.



And he (peace be upon him) said, "Whoever reads one letter from the Book
of Allaah, will receive one Hasanah (reward for a good deed), and one Hasanah
comes with ten like it. I do not say that Alif – Lam - Mim is a letter. Indeed
Alif is a letter, and Lam is a letter, and Mim is a letter.

2. Make Dua (Supplications)
One should make as much Dua for himself, family and the Muslim Ummah as much as
he can during Ramadaan.

3. Strengthen Family ties

Ramadaan is a time where a person who may have problems or disagreements
between his family members should clear them. There is great reward for one who
upholds kinship.

Narrated Anas bin Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him): Allaahs Apostle
(peace be upon him) said,"Whoever loves that he be granted more wealth and
that his lease of life be prolonged then he should keep good relations with his
Kith and kin."

4. Praying Qiyaam / Taraweeh/ Tahajjud (the Night
Prayer)

Narrated Aboo Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him): I heard Allaahs
Apostle (peace be upon him) saying regarding Ramadan, "Whoever prayed at night
in it (the month of Ramadan) out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from
Allaah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven."

5. Making Dawah(Spreading the word of Islam)

Ramadaan is a perfect time for Muslims to make Dawaah to those that are not
practicing, as well as non-Muslims.

6. Nawafil /Optional/ Voluntary Prayers

Narrated Aboo Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be
upon him) said:“The first of his deeds for which a person will be brought to
account on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayer. If it is sound then he
will have succeeded but if it is not sound then he will be lost and doomed. If
anything is lacking from his obligatory prayers, the Lord will say: Look and
see whether My slave has any voluntary (prayers), and the shortfall from his
obligatory prayers will be made up from that.

7. Duha Prayer

The Duha Prayer is a voluntary Salah prayer between the time after Fajr (i.e.
Dawn) and the time before the Dhuhr prayer (i.e. forenoon). The minimum Rakahs
for Duha prayer are two and the maximum are twelve.

8. Make Dhikr Of Allaah

And He, the Most High, also said: “And remember your Lord by your tongue and
within yourself, humbly and with fear without loudness in words in the
mornings, and in the afternoons and be not of those who are neglectful.

9. Fasting

Narrated Aboo Saeed(may Allaah be pleased with him): I heard the Prophet
(peace be upon him) saying, "Indeed, anyone who fasts for one day for
Allaah's Pleasure, Allaah will keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a
distance covered by a journey of) seventy years.

10. Itikaaf(seclusion In the mosque for ibadat)

Narrated Aaishah (may Allaah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be upon
him) used to practice Itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan till he died and
then his wives used to practice Itikaf after him.

11. Not Missing the Witr Salah

Witr” literally means odd number. Witr has two different meanings in the
Sunnah: The last one or three Rakahs of the night prayer, or it means all of
the night prayers (because in essence they are odd – numbered). This discussion
refers to the former meaning. We learn from the following hadith that Witr is
not obligatory but desirable. But it would not be correct to show any slackness
in performing it because every Muslim should do his best to follow the Sunnah
of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

12. Giving Charity

Aboo Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Apostle (peace be
upon him) as saying: “In the morning charity is due from every bone in the body
of every one of you. Every utterance of Allah’s glorification (SubhanAllaah) is
an act of charity. Every utterance of praise of Him (Alhamdulilah) is an act of
charity, every utterance of profession of His Oneness (La ilaha illa Allaah) is
an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Greatness (Allaahu
Akbar) is an act of charity, enjoining Maruf (good) is an act of charity,
forbidding what is Munkar (evil) is an act of charity, and two rakahs which one
prays in the forenoon will suffice.”

13. Providing for one to open the fast

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever gives food to a fasting person
with which to break his fast, will have a reward equal to his, without it
detracting in the slightest from the reward of the fasting person.”

14. Be Consistent and Moderate

Its very easy to have a sudden burst of energy and do a lot in one day and then
not do anything during the rest of the month (due to tiredness). It’s Sunnah to
be moderate and consistent.

Narrated Aaishah (may Allaah be pleased with her): The Prophet (peace be upon
him) was asked, "What deeds are loved most by Allaah?" He said,
"The most regular constant deeds even though they may be few."

Oh Allah allow us to make the most of Ramadhan.
Oh Allaah, let us meet you with a clean heart, with all our sins erased.
Oh Allaah grant us mercy, and make us from those that you have freed from hell
fire.

Abu Mas'ud 'Uqba ibn 'Amr al-Ansari al-Badri reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "Anyone who shows the way to something good has the same reward as the person who does it." [Muslim] E.g. if you encourage someone to go for Salah, or pay Zakat and the person actually goes ahead and prays or pays Zakat, Allah will reward him for the good deeds and at the same time give you (the one that encouraged them to do good) an equal reward as he has given them- without decreasing what he gave them. So Encourage Other To Do Good And Refrain From Bad Deeds
