Muslim brothers and sisters, what are your plans for this Ramadan?
This is not my plan, but plans I'd like to recommend:1. Before Ramzan, let's watch a lecture about the Reason, Importance and Relevance of Ramzan, to make yourself completely prepared for the RamzanPreferably this:Ramzan in Allah's words, by Nouman Ali Khanor any other, of your preference.2. Let's not forget the essence of this month:"The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion....."(Quran 2:185)."THE QURAN", Let's try our best to get closer to the words of Allah.Let's: Recite, Memorise, Understand, Teach, Learn the Quran this Ramzan.3. Let's realise the discomfort of hunger and help those who find it difficult to arrange food for their Family.4. Let's Help a revert: Help him with Suhoor, Iftaar, Tarawih, Memorisation. And make sure he/she enjoy on the Day of Eid.5. There is a series in which Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan is going to give a brief tafsir of 30 Surahs, this Ramzan:Here is the link: 30 Surahs in 30 NightsBut you are supposed to subscribe to Bayyinah TV, you can apply for free subscription if you can't afford it.Try attending it and try memorising surahs we understand each day.6. Let's spend the nights in praying Khaza Salahs, and making Dua that Allah forgive us every time we left our salah(intentionally or unintentionally)7. Don't forget make dua for yourself and for the one who wrote this answer. You don't have to know my name. Allah knows ;)IN SHA ALLAHMay Allah help all of us to make the most this Ramzan.May he forgive all our sins in these days and make us ready to face the world after Ramzan, when the Devils are unchained.AMEENPS: you are all welcome to correct me and share some more advice.
What are your plans for Ramadan 2019?
Same plans, same results and same downhearted feelings as we get closer to bidding farewell to Ramadan.How about wearing a different hat this Ramadan?What went wrong?After 11 months of not-so-following Muslim life, all of a sudden I start strictly-following Muslim life on the arrival of Ramadan. For old Me, stretching the muscles of will power and concentration, finally getting back on track has already consumed more than half of my Ramadan.Soon I start enjoying my Ramadan spiritually, calendar starts ringing Eid bells.Not just me, I think many of us can relate to this.So, how about this Ramadan..?I started my plan in Rajab month itself.I sat on 1st of Rajab to evaluate my previous Ramadan, then I made a summary of it.I am sorry if my handwriting is good enough to be unreadable. To sum up, I could only recite qathamul Quran 1 time having planned for 3 times in the month.I started fasting once a week in Rajab. I gave up smartphone and moved away from social media completely. I am grooming myself ready and waiting in the track for Ramadan than searching for my socks at the eleventh hour.My Shaban plan is to equate my previous year Ramadan performance.Except fasting for entire month which I have planned to make twice a week, I am determined to equate or beat my previous Ramadan in terms of deeds.Equating or outperforming my previous Ramadan with this Shaban will help me slowly getting adopted to the Ramadan life sooner than ever.Filled with Ramadan vibes even before month arrives, I am confident of making this Ramadan best Ramadan of my life till.Qathamul Quran (minimum 5 times). Weekly one qathamul Quran will do this.Daily Sunnah prayers (minimum 50 rakat)Hayathul Lail nights (last 15 days of Ramadan)2x of charity contributed in Shaban.3x of Adkar and Durood recited Shaban.One ifthar arrangement.If I start my Ramadan early every year, I am sure that I will run out of reasons to say my previous Ramadan was better than this.INSHA ALLAH“allahumma baarik lana fi rajabin va shaban, va ballig lana Ramadan”Now, this dua makes more sense to me.Thanks for A2A Sahil Ansari Bhai.Image Source: GooglePeace!
Ramadan: When you make Dua do you do it with your eyes open or closed?
Usually my eyes are open..but if it means alot to me and I desperately want something to happen then I close my eyes, I feel more spiritual and connected to Allah when I close my eyes, whether it's during dua or salaat.
Is there a specific dua for each 10 days of Ramadan?
Salam You can make a specific dua in Arabic or in your own language for each 10 days of Ramadan The first 10 we will be blessed by Allah,the second 10 we will be saved by Allah and the third 10 all of our past sins will be forgiven by Allah so at the end of Ramadan we will be sinless asTHE WINNERS.
Can you Make Dua' For ur Bro. ?
may allah let them accept you, and may allah put them in hell if they don't edit: Addiwan Almalaki: hmmm, may allah put them in heaven whether they accept you or not (lol do you see how chicken am i?) but hopefully they accept you. my uncle works there though. he sometimes brings the royal Laban with him lol, nothing special just the bottle.
Ramadan: How do you keep yourself from being so lazy and get up and pray like you're supposed to?
Sahar, Watwat and Umhuda all gave excellent answers. It is true you never know how long you will be on this earth and you should live every moment trying to be the best Muslima you can otherwise you will make up your short comings in hellfire...May Allah guide us all on the right path. Ameen. Praying should be something we look forward to, not something that burdens us. You should work on strengthening your imaan (faith). Don't misunderstand me I am not questioning your belief in Islam I am saying that study Islam, find more of the wonderful things Allah has provided us with and insha'allah you will look forward to praying. Make dua'a for Allah to give you strength to learn and increase your imaan. Good luck insha'allah. Edit: sister Afsah is right, your delay is shaytan convincing you to do something against Islam. Stay organized and do you wudhoo in advance so you don't have to rush to get up and do it at the last minute.
Ramadan: I am a new Muslim, I need to know how to do salah?

And stay away from the Shee`ah altogther. We ask Allaah to guide them or rid the Muslims of them and their evil
Can all my brothers and sisters please make a dua for my friend please?
I ask all of my brothers and sisters to please please make a dua for a friend who I treat like my brother. His name is Ali and he is such a pure and clean muslim. Two years ago, he was not on the right track of islam (had friends who smoked weed and took him to wrong path) and he got caught up with the police and he had to go to court and they said he had to pay 1999.000 dollars in order to be on house arrest or either go to jail for 4 months..Within those two years, he has gotten so close to allah...OMG! i was shocked myself..reading 5 times daily, fasting, leaving old friends and he would be in masjhid 24/7. "MASHALLAH" was the only word for me to express...everything happens for a reason n mayb he got into this mess to change but the sad thing is that 2 days ago, he had to be at jail at 9am to pay for house arrest and he was an hour late and they took him in for 2 months..You all might say 2 months is nothing but ask his family who are suffering. Last night was 27th roza and I prayed till my eyes got red for everyone and for him. I know him like a brother and I know he cant survive in jail. The sad thing is that he changed into a better muslim. Please I ask you all to take a few minutes to pray for ALI that may allah release him from jail ASAP so he can have eid with his family. Please maybe allah may listen to one prayer and accept it. May allah bless you all in the month of Ramazhan.. AMEEN! HE DIDNT DO THE CRIME!! HE WAS WITH FRIENDS WHO WERE SMOKING WEED N HIS CAR. HE WASNT SMOKING! HIS FRIENDS WERE IN HIS CAR..COME ON WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES! THE BEST THING IS THAT WE CHANGE FROM THEM.IF HE WAS THE SAME PERSON WHO HUNG OUT WIT FRIENDS LIKE DAT DEN I WUD B LIKE WHO CARES BUT DA SAD THING IS THAT HE CHANGED INTO SUCH A BETTER MUSLIM..LIVING IN USA, ITS HARD TO SEE THAT AMONGST MUSLIM GUYS..HE CONVERTED HIS BEST FRIEND INTO BECOMING MUSLIM N HAS DONE SO MANY GOOD DEEDS..COME ON THINK BOUT IT..SOMEONE WHO HAS CHANGED IS GOING TO JAIL..HAVE A HEART PLEASE.ITS THE MONTH OF RAMAZHAN.IM JUST ASKING FOR PRAYERS..IF YOU CAN THEN IT IS NICE BUT IM SORRY I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING NEGATIVE.PLEASE. AND BTW 4 THOSE WHO HAVE MADE DUA...THANKS SO MUCH..MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU AND MAKE ALL YOUR WORRIES GO AWAY AND MAY ALL YOUR PRAYERS BECOME ACCEPTED. AMEEN!
