We are currently 31 days away from the blessed month of Ramadan. Here are a few things you can do to prepare yourself for Ramadan :) 

- Fast Voluntarily:

The month of Sha'baan is the optimal time to start fasting extra fasts or making up your missed fasts from last Ramadan. The best way to prepare fasting for a whole month is to start fasting often, in order to gain control over your actions, stomach and desires. Rasulullah (PBUH) himself would fast in the month of Sha'baan more than he would in any other month besides Ramadan, as it helps to prepare the body for the upcoming 30 days of fasting. 

Usamah ibn Zayd (RA) said: I said, ‘Oh Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting in any other month like you fast in Sha'baan.’ He said, ‘That is a month to which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadan, and it is a month in which deeds are lifted up to the Lord of the Worlds. I like for my deeds to be lifted up when I am fasting.'” (Narrated by al-Nasaai)

- Recite and Reflect Upon The Qur'an:

Starting today, recite and reflect on portions of the Qur'an to get closer to Allah and understand your responsibilities. Every single time you read the Qur’an, you will uncover more depths of meaning that will benefit you in this world and the hereafter.

Aishah (RA) related that Rasulullah (PBUH) said: “Indeed the one who recites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly and precisely, will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. As for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have twice that reward.” (Muslim)

Follow the Sunnah and Pray Extra Prayers:

Learn more about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and follow him by emulating his actions.

Say, [Oh Muhammad], If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Qur’an 3:31)

Repent and Make Dua’a:

"Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful." (Qur'an 25:70)

Repentance is the most noble and beloved form of obedience in the eyes of Allah Ta'ala. He loves those who repent and it is because of His love for His creation that He tests them with sins so that He may shower His blessings and favours upon them after they repent.

Rasulullah (PBUH) said: “All the children of Adam constantly err, but the best of those who constantly err are those who constantly repent.” (Tirmidhi)

- Work on Your Character:

Start working on your patience; be extra vigilant with your conversations: ensure you are not backbiting, slandering or talking about useless things that do not bring any benefit. The Prophet (PBUH) used to say: “The best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character.” (Al-Bukhari)

- Increase in Giving Charity:

Rasulullah (PBUH) said: “Allah is in the aid of His servant as long as His aide is in the assistances of others.” (Muslim) This world can only be a better place if we help each other. In return, Allah rewards us in both worlds. The Prophet also said: “Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.” (At Tirmidhi)

Charity does not only mean monetary contributions. Though this is the traditional way in which many of us will offer our sadaqah, this is not the only thing a person can do. Regardless of our situation, there is always something that we can do to benefit others inshaAllah.

In a Hadith narrated by Abu Dharr (RA), Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) said: “Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, commanding good and forbidding evil is charity, your giving directions to a man lost in the land is a charity for you. Your seeing for a man with bad sight is a charity for you, your removal of a rock, a thorn or a bone from the road is a charity for you. Pouring what remains from your bucket into the bucket of your brother is a charity for you.” (At Tirmidhi)

- Eat Healthy and Moderately: 
 
Now is the best time to research the nutritious value of the food we eat. While we fast, the food we eat before we start our fast or to break our fast needs to provide the optimal energy so we can accomplish our daily tasks and increase our worship. Avoid overeating, as it is hazardous and harms the body. 

Ash-Shafi’i said: "I have not filled myself in 16 years because filling oneself makes the body heavy, removes clean understanding, induces sleep and makes one weak for worship.


Allah knows best. May Allah keep us all steadfast and consistent on our Deen, and in every act of worship that we do inshaAllah. 

Do also check out these Ramadan-related events coming up this May:

  

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Whoever feeds the person who is breaking his fast, he will have his reward (for his fasting) without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person.” [Al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Maajah - Classed as Sahih by Sh al-Albaani]


About The Ramadan Mutton Project:

In collaboration with various mosques in Singapore, we are helping and supporting them to reduce the costs on iftar and bubur Ramadan. 

We provide the following options to sponsor Fresh or Frozen Meat:

Frozen Mutton ( More than 2 months stored in Freezer )

1kg $18
2kg $35
5kg $85
10kg $165
18kg $295 (1 sheep)


Fresh Mutton ( Less than 1 week from date of slaughtering )

1kg $25
2kg $48
5kg $120
10kg $230
18kg $330 (1 sheep)


** For fresh mutton, slaughtering is scheduled on 22nd May 2017 in Western Australia and will be flown back to Singapore and distributed to the various mosques according to the schedules provided to us.

Closing Date 
Fresh Meat - 19th May 2017
Frozen Meat - 16th June 2017

For sponsors, you will receive reports of the meat distribution throughout Ramadan 2017. Postings will also be broadcasted in Islamicevents newsletters and blog >> www.islamicevents.sg/blog

Alhamdulillah we managed to raise 3998kg of mutton and distributed to 5 mosques last year. So far for this year's Ramadan Mutton Project, we have managed to raise 2059kg of meat. InshaAllah we hope that this year, more mosques can benefit from this effort.
