Random Thought of the Day

Assalama 'alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatu, I hope all of you are doing well. Afwaan for the very few reminders I have been posting as of lately, I have been busy, subhanAllaah. Ramadaan is finally here! Allaahu Akbar walhamdulillaah! About 3 days away, inshaaAllaah. I am so excited, as many of you probably are as well. Alhamdulillaah, Allaah has allowed us to see another Ramadaan and it is time for us to take advantage of this blessed month! How do you better yourself during Ramadaan? Something I found that helped me last year was writing down a "Ramadaan To Do List". It basically consisted of 10-12 acts or things that I wanted to do and accomplish by the end of the month, whether it be eating less at iftaar or reading a Juz a day of the Qur'aan. As we know, the good deeds we do during Ramadaan are very rich in reward, so we should strive to do as much as possible in the little time that we have inshaaAllaah. Try to cut out things that draw you away from Allaah 'Azz wa Jal, and increase in the acts that bring you close to Him. This month is all about refreshing yourself, and this includes your intention. Don't forget to make your intention clear for the month, inshaaAllaah, and stick with it. We should strive to please Allaah Subhana wa ta'Alaa alone and the reward is with Him alone. May Allaah make this month of Ramadaan a great and beneficial one for us all and our families, may He shower His Mercy and Generosity upon us, and keep us firm, aameen!
