RAMADAN TIPS
TAQWA - The Main Objective of Ramadan
The goal of fasting is to develop Taqwa (Conscious/Awareness of Allah,
Self-restraint)
"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed
to those before you, so that you may develop Taqwa (self-restraint) "
[TM Qur'an 2:183]
TAQWA has been translated as "fear of Allah", "piety", 'righteousness",
"dutifulness and "God-wariness". Allah Says:
"And make provision for yourselves; the best provision is taqwa" (TM
Quran, 2:197).
It is very important to remember that Ramadan is not just a month of
fasting (definitely not Feasting as is for many) but it is a month to
purify and train body and soul.
Apart from doing everything you normally do during this great month,
try to find at least one small deed a day that you will implement in
your life day in day out.
Examples:
Start with Bismillah, Reply to Salam, Reply to the Alhamdolillah (when
someone sneezes), eat less, Sleep less, Talk less.
"O Allah, We ask you for Guidance, fearful awareness, chastity and
independence." [Muslim].
Daily Ramadan Tips
1) Taraweeh is Sunnah and 5 Daily Salah is a FARDH (Obligation) and must
not be Ignored
To Pray Taraweeh and Ignore even one of the Faradh Salah is Like
building a House of Cards, or a House without the foundation. or a tree
without Roots it is simply Kidding oneself.
Ma'Salama
