other Islamic literature.
2.Avoid looking at unlawful pictures, whether magazines, department
store catalogs or otherwise.
3.Avoid going to theaters; instead go to Masajid, Islamic
organizations and make that a daily habit.
4.Avoid eating too much. Eat only when you are hungry and try not to
fill your stomach completely.
5.If you drink Coffee, Tea or Soda, be sure to reduce consumption.
6.If you smoke, try to reduce daily usage; otherwise Ramadan will be
very difficult foryou to observe.
7.If you like to listen to music, whether the style of western
societies or even those from Muslim countries, reduce, even eliminate
the time you spent on them; replace them with reciting and listening
to recitation from the Quran.
8.If you enjoy playing cards and board games try your best to avoid
them as much as possible and fill your time with something useful.
9.If you enjoy going withfriends to picnics and other social
gatherings,try to reduce it before Ramadan; otherwise fasting the
month of Ramadan will be more difficult.
10.If you have friends who do not practice the teaching of Islam, try
to avoid socializingwith them.
11.If you travel a lot on business, try to do more local business, so
you can be more closer to your family and community.
12.If you are used to staying up till midnight, try to go to bed
earlier, so that you will be able to wake up early for Salat al-Fajr
and Tahajjud prayers as well.
To prepare ourselves before the month of Ramadan arrives is far better
than waiting till it comes. To prepare ourselves for anything in life
is a sign of wisdom and maturity. No one is assured of living one day
more; tomorrow may notcome. So hurry and benefit from blessings and
rewards from Allah.
Remember:"Time is not money or gold; it is life itself and is limited.
You must begin to appreciateevery moment of your life and always
strive to make the best use of it." -Khurram Murad
