Ramadan: 2010 Edition

We've only got a month or so to go and someone mentioned yesterday that there should be a Ramadan thread.

So, all talks of preparations, aspirations and perspirations related to Ramadan can go in here.

Are you looking forward to Ramadan? Do you have any goals for the month? What will make you think of the month as a success? What would you consider a failure?

Insha'Allah, this year's ramadhan will be the best yet!
Insha'Allah i will be able to make the most of it and i have no reason or excuse to not especially as i've got holidays and so all the time in the world! Smile
Insha'Allah everyone will start and finish Ramadhan together
Insha'Allah Allah will accepts all my and your worshipping.
Ameen.

I always think of Ramadhan being a time when i can really learn a lot about myself. I know when you sin it's really lame to say "shaytaan influenced me" because you sinned through your own freewill.
But then again shataan does whisper things in your ears and it makes life a lot harder.

However in ramadhan i reflect on my "true" personality:
The way i talk to others
The way i deal with my emotions
The general actions i partake in
Do i do what's right?
If i do then Yay! i know i can carry it throughout the year too!
If not, then ofcourse it's ashameful and theres some serious work to be done.
