Preparing for Ramadhan 2011

TPOS —

There's about 35 days left till Ramadhan so I think it's time to get reflective 😃

I like to use Ramadhan as a chance to 'revitalise' my spiritual side and just improve myself but I need to know what and how I am going to improve, so time to start thinking now.

I think I should have aims/targets and make some sort of plan for it.

E.g the minimum amount of Qur'an I'm going to read, what kind of stuff I need/want to brush my knowledge on etc.

So yeah.

If you don't feel its too personal or just think your ideas may help others then this thread can be used to write down what sorta stuff you're thinking of doing etc 🙂

15 days to go!

Everyone ready?[/quote]

I arrive back in the UK on the 1st insha'Allah, Turkey has been a nice mental, physical and spiritual 'detox'. I hope I can continue it throughout Ramadan.

FIFTEEN? *runs around like a headless chicken*

one thing i want to do. make a list of "what i should do when ive got nothing to do"

you know..when you're just sitting around not knowing what to do, have a LIST, just look at it and do somethign from that list. instead of wasting that time...

it shouldnt be too hard inshallah.

so far they have been easy every year (apart from me wanting them to be over and done with) but this year may or may not be a struggle.

Despite making this thread 2 months early, I can't say I've done any preparation. I'm not ready.

But some things going on my checklist:

Read the Qur'an once over

Read translation & find something which helps explain it more/tafseer e.g Nouman Ali Khan vids.

Do lots of zikr

This list should get longer.

Anyway when you guys do something you're proud of, feel free to put it here - after all this is the month in which we're supposed to 'compete' with one another to do the best and maybe we can motivate each other 🙂
