Welcome Ramadan ♥

Salam!
We made it to see this blessed holy month, TAKBEER (shouts Allahu'Akbar)
I am so happy to witness once again such a festive season, full of love, happiness, ibaada, quran, Taraweeh prayers and oh so much more. We should really reap all the benefits of this month, and cherish it's rewards.

There are some things that I have noticed about what some of us do:
I will start with pointing out the good first!
We gather with our families for iftar, suhoor, and prayers.
We go to Taraweeh prayers
Give plenty charity
Recite Quran
Worship all night
Keep remembering Allah

Sounds good right, but the sad thing is not everyone sucks all the benifits of this month.
Some of the things I have noticed are (the bad):
We laze around sleeping (or in bed on your phone) for long
We pretend like it is a normal month and laugh all day and don't stop bad habits
We may gossip, lie as a joke, or do seemless haram things.
We don't read a lot of Quran
Watching TV and not realising that there is haram in it.


I don't mean to jump to conclusion and assume everyone is like this, it's just a word of #advice
Try to stay away from old bad habits, try to read Quran every single day!
Try to pray as much as you can, try to become closer to Allah, give as much charity as you can,
try to be kind to everyone, try to not watch TV, try to watch lectures as much as you can, learn something you never knew before, try to be happy and not complain about the fast, it isn't essentially about fasting from food, it is the complete spirituality you feel when you stay away from food, you feel hunger, and you gratefully turn to Allah in ibaada and in complete repentance.

Allah says in the Quran:
"Ramadan is the (month) in which the Quran was sent down, as a guide to mankind and a clear guidance and judgment (so that mankind will distinguish from right and wrong).." (Q 2:183)

Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may attain taqwaa." (Q2:183)

The most honored by Allah amongst you are those best in taqwaa."(Q 49:13)

..And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew." (Q 2:184)

Love you all, keep me in your Dua please, and stay consistent this month :D
