Hi all , I want to share this useful tips
to prepare for Ramadan

=====

O' brothers and sisters verily I can hear some of you say, "I want to prepare for Ramadan, so I can achieve and succeed during this holy month"

"I want to prepare for Ramadan, so From the 1st night of Ramadan, I'm gona be among those who been freed from Hellfire and my neck and body be forbidden for Hellfire by Allah's will"

and so on

Indeed this what most of us need, but this won't happen unless you prepared for Ramadan in righteous way prior the beginning of this blessed month ..

The Righteous Salaf, they didn't prepare for Ramadan from it's 1st day, but they used to prepare for it prior 6 months and ask Allah to enable them to reach it, and after Ramadan for 6 months they asked Allah to accept it from them, this was their method for preparation

Dear my beloved ones, I assure you truly these days there is no chance to delay the preparation for such blessed month, Right now .. right this moment .. we gotta say "Indeed, I will go to where I am ordered by my Lord; He will guide me" or "I am for this mission"

however another example from the rightly 1st muslim generation and how they used to prepare for Ramadan, is that once Month of Shaba'an begins a person among them he used to close the doors of his store and free himself for reciting Quran, some called the Month of Shaba'an as the Month of Reciters, due the high of percentage Muslims back then used to recite Quran, they prepare for it physically, emotionally and spiritually .. so once Ramadan begins they feel the beauty of Quran and be effect by its Message .. Ramadan after all is the Month of Quran and Quran its the Heart of Ramadan.

If we didn't prepare for this honor guest, when this heart shall feel humble and tremble? when we shall taste the sweet test of Prayer and truly rest in it and understand the meaning "O' Bilal, give us our rest in prayer"

This shall happen along with preparation for Ramadan, we should strive our selves nowadays, and steadfast and pack our luggage and travel in Journey toward Allah .. toward Ramadan.

We listen among each other or even tell our tutors and Sheikhs, once Ramadan begins .. we say: "O' Sheikh I can't feel the Quran" or "O' Sheikh I don't taste humility during Prayer" ... and when we reach the last 10-15 Days of Ramadan we hear the opposite "O' Sheikh MashaAllah and AlhamdoulilAllah I truly taste the sweet taste of Prayer" or "O' Sheikh how beautiful is to stand in front of Allah in Depth of the Night" or "O' Sheikh i cried alot during Taraweeh"
Why this happen? the Equation is simple .. is due to we strive in 1st 20 days of Ramadan we get the above result in the last 10 Days of this holy month.

But this Ramadan shall be different for us InshaAllah, we will taste the beauty of the last 10 Days of Ramadan [from increasing in making Duaa, crying constantly, help the poor and needy so much, swim in wide ocean of love for Allah and His messenger .. etc ] from its the beginning of Ramadan, each quarter will be as if its the last 10 Days of Ramadan .. this way you'll preserve the spiritual, emotional state in same high level from Day 1 till Day 30, and not drawing ups and downs or high levels in 1st 10-15 Days and the last 10 Days make it like any other day of rest of the year!


and tonight before you go to sleep, make sure to make the intention for sake of Allah that you will fast in Ramadan and be among those who preform qyiam, and recite the Quran and ask Allah to make you among those who freed them from Hellfire and sincerly repent to Him, cause in case you didn't see the Sun of Tomorrow and your soul depart this Dunia .. may Allah account you according your intention and you'll be reward for being among those who fast, recited Quran, among those who repented to Him sincerely during Ramadan of 2013
