Assalaamualikum Friend,

As we get closer to the start of another Ramadan, you are probably excited and looking forward to the month of blessing like every Muslim. Everyone has a list of things that they will like to do in Ramadan to earn them rewards, or even things that they will like to give up for the sake of Allah (swt).

Often times, however, we fail to achieve a lot of what we had hoped to, and this is mostly because we wait till Ramadan begins before starting something that we hardly did in other times of the year.

So to maximize our experience in the coming Ramadan and inspire us to achieve all that we hope, we are sharing with you some things in this email and in the next 3 emails that you can do as Ramadan begins to prepare yourself for the glorious month.

1. Make a Dua List
If there is anything that is important for you to before Ramadan, it is to make a dua list. You don’t want to wake up for tahjud on a Ramadan night and be at a loss for what to ask Allah (swt) or to be repeating the same duas that you have been reciting all through the year.

Not that there is anything wrong with repeating prayers, but Ramadan is the month of prayers and dhikr, why limit yourself to a few duas?

Write down everything that you want to ask Allah (swt). When you do this task before the start of Ramadan, you give yourself time to search for more duas that you can include in your list. Remember to include duas for loved ones, friends, your work, Muslims all over the world, etc.

2. Start a Ramadan Countdown
Mentally or physically, a Ramadan countdown helps us to look forward to the month. It also helps us to prepare for it. Sometimes, we assume that such countdowns are for kids, but imagine that you are going on a long-awaited vacation in a couple of weeks. You will understand the feeling of anticipation and excitement that comes before the trip arrives.

Even if you can’t make a Pinterest-Mom-style countdown calendar, have a counter or calendar on your phone that shows you as the days of Sha’ban decreases so that you are fully aware when Ramadan arrives.

P.S. If you haven't checked out the QA Inner Circle to help you read fluently, beautifully and memorise masterfully, I would highly recommend it. Learn more here: https://coaching.quranacademy.io/book-now
