Reflection Point
Preparation...
It's the key to productivity and effectiveness.
As always with the Sunnah Infographics community!
It's our job to make sure that your updated and prepared.
Well in advance...
So with the month of Sha’ban leading up to Ramadān..
It's no different!
Question.
What's on your To-Do List this month?
If you have extra space..
Then here are a few things that you need to remember!
- Making up your missed fasts from the previous Ramadān. If you haven’t already done so. With the commitments of work, life and family. It can be something almost forgotten! So schedule them in!
- Plan to establish any additional voluntary fasts. Just like our Prophet Muhammad ﷺwould do in the month of Sha’ban. Try to fast on Mondays and Thursday, as he ﷺ used to.
- Start to plan for any trips you and the family plan to take during the Holy Month. It may be for Umrah, visiting family members, inviting family members or simply breaking fast with neighbour's. Make sure you have a plan for your occasions.
- Prepare a Ramadān budget, as it’s often the time of year when we over spend on food, gifts and travel. So make sure you set aside an adequate budget for the Holy Month.
-
Reconnect with the Qur’an by taking it off the shelf and making it a part of your daily routine. Habits take time to implement. So it’s a great idea to start early and connect with the Qur’an, so you are well prepared for the Holy Month of Ramadān Insha Allah.
