EDITOR'S NOTE (PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING 10 THINGS IN RAMADAN) Even though the benevolence and importance of Ramadan is proved through Quran and Hadeeth, its significance is backed up by history and incidents. Readers! I want to bring few things in your notice which will benefit you like a profitable partner:
Keep an intention of talking less throughout Ramadan and keep reciting the verse 118 of Surah Al-Mu’minun, after ablution or without it; recite it in millions. رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَ اَنْتَ خَیْرُ الرّٰحِمِیْنَ
And say, (O Muhammad): "My Lord, forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of those that are merciful
Make efforts to perform wa’zu and maintain it throughout the day. The act which is strongly followed throughout Ramadan stays in your life even after Ramadan
If your income is doubtful, then borrow money from a trustful source and keep fast with that and pay off the debt with your money. Use the trustful money to buy eatables, water, iftari, date, salt, spices; use the honest and clean money to purchase even the smallest item
Convince your heart that if you can use truthful money in Ramadan, then it is also possible in non-Ramadan months too. Pray to ALLAH for halal and chaste income for yourself and your future generations
Gulqand: 250 grams
Small cardamom 10 grams. Powder the cardamoms and mix in gulqand. Eat 1 TBSP after sehri in the end. You will not feel thirsty throughout the day nor will you feel weakness or weary. It will benefit you even if you will be working in extreme hot weather. You can also eat it after iftari
Arrange for recitation of the Quran Majeed. Make each alphabet your requester towards Allah to ask for your excessive recitation of the Quran in other months as well
Take care of your eyes and ears strictly and try to stay away from evil deeds. Start doing sadqa about this seventh point from now on according to your financial position. Ask Allah; O Allah! Distance me from all evil and bad doings
Decide to support a sufaid-posh and people who do not demand. Aid to the extent that their fasts could be attended easily
Fitr of date is also sunnah. According to the present times, it comes up to around Rs 500 per person. Do not be a miser; don’t free yourself in just 50, 60 Rupees. Give 500 Rupees per head so that the kitchen of the poor could be active for few days
We wake up for sehri anyways; we should firstly offer 2- rakat nafil tahajjud forforgiveness, firmness, gratitude, and desire. You can offer 2 rakat with all these intentions. I hope you will definitely pay attention to these 10 points.
