Embracing Ramadhan
Alhamdulillah the time has come for muslims like myself to embrace the month of Ramadhan. I thank Allah for giving me another year on Earth to better myself and do my part as a muslim by fasting and increasing my taqwa'.
This month of Ramadan is giving us yet one more opportunity to re-dedicate ourselves to the absolute power of the divine and refocus our lives to worshipping Him and Him alone. Each of us can develop an individual plan to benefit from and we can all do something extra to earn some additional grace from God, the Almighty.
 Here are a few suggestions (taken from BETTERMUSLIM) that we can look into during Ramadhan: 1. Let us make it a habit to visit the mosque as often as possible but atlas once a day with our families. 2. Let us make it a habit to break fast with fellow Muslims in the mosque at least once a week. 3. Let us invite our non-Muslim friends and neighbors to join us in the breaking of our fasts. 4. Let us pool our efforts and resources to feeding the homeless. 5. Let us be extra-generous and donate our money to worthy causes. 6. Let us encourage our children to respect their elders and parents. 7. Let us at least try to complete reading the Quran with meaning once. 8. Let us ensure that we mend our relations with everyone regardless of the mistakes on the part of others. 9. Let us spend some time in seclusion at night praying to the Almighty. 10. Let us ensure that we will not hurt anyone and control our anger in all situations 12. Let us spend more time with our families especially in breaking the fast. 13. Let us make sure that we don’t miss our Fajr prayer and pray all the other prayers on time. 14. Let us donate at least one book on Islam to a local library. 15. Let us ensure that we offer Zakat ul Fitr ahead of Eid prayers so that the poor and the needy can make use of it in an appropriate manner. Let us place our trust in Allah in everything that we do. May Allah accept our ibada.
