“Indeed, a fasting person has a prayer that wont be rejected at the time of iftaar (breaking of fast) [Sunan Ibn Majah].

Day 5

Theme - Night Prayers

ِ ُ ،ً

‫ن إ ً وا‬

‫مر‬ َ

"Whoever prays at night in the month of Ramadan out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven." (Hadith Bukhari & Muslim)

Practical Tip Try to wake up just before suhoor, during the last third of the night. Pray earnestly to Allah while the rest of the world is fast asleep. The few Rakahs you pray at night will be your fuel for the next day.

Day 6

Theme - Purifying Intentions

O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.

،‫ر ي‬

‫ٔا‬

‫ا‬ ‫ٔوا‬

“O Allah! Inspire in me guidance and deliver me from the evils within

myself “

Organise your day around Salah and spend your time wisely. Let Salah be a time to have a break and loosen up.

Day 7

Theme - Good character and Good Deeds

Abu Hurairah (RAA) narrated that

‫ )ﷺ‬said:

the Messenger of Allah (

“A sign of man's good observance of Islam (his piety) is to keep away from that which does not concern him.” (Al-Tirmidhi)

َ ُ َ ُ َٔ ْ ُ ‫ِ َ َو‬ َ ُ َ ٕ‫ِا‬

O Allah, I ask You for Your Love, and the love of whoever loves You, and the love of deeds that will bring me closer

hubba man yuhebukka wa hubba 'ammalin yukarrebuni illa hubbika

to Your Love.

Revive a sunnah! Get into the habit of praying witr (at least one raka'a) anytime after Ishaa until Fajr. It is a prayer that the Prophet PBUH never missed, even while he was travelling.

servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. (Bukhari)

Deactivate your social media, don't watch any movies and other media and dedicate this holy month to getting closer to the Qur'an, understanding it and living it. Take the Qur'an on a warm day and read in a natural setting to get away from distractions.

Day 9

Theme - Salah

A n ' a m :

1 6 2 ]

Revive a sunnah: get into the habit of praying Fajr Sunnah (two rakahs before Fajr prayer). The Messenger PBUH described it as a prayer more valuable than all the wealth in the world!

Practical Tip Start by praying 2 rakas for qiyaam every night after isha

The second 10 days of Ramadan have started today:

O Allah, I beg You to grant my soul its proper taqwa, and to refine it. You are the best in refining. You are its Helper and Master. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that is not benefical, a heart that is not submissive, a soul that is not contented, and a supplication that is not answerable.

"The most beloved of the people to Allah are the most beneficial for the people. The most beloved of actions to Allah are to cause happiness to reach a Muslim, to relieve him from a hardship, to settle a debt for a Muslim or to repel hunger from him. For me to walk with a brother in order to assist him is more beloved to me than to make ‘Itikaf in this Masjid  for a month."

ʻ

[al-Mu jam al-Awsat]

Reflection Don't despair if you don't have time to pray taraweeh all night. A simple of act of helping out a brother or sister in need is more highly regarded by the Prophet PBUH than secluding yourself in worship for an entire month in the holy mosque of Madinah.

“Verily, people will be in prayer as one, yet the difference between them is like that between the heavens and earth. A man may be reverent and facing forward in his prayer, yet another is unmindful and neglectful.” [Hadith

Ḥilyat al-Awliyā’]

Practical Tip Focus on the quality, not quantity, of your prayers this Ramadan. Set aside a special, secluded place in your house for Salah, strive to understand what you recite and alternate between different chapters of the Quran.

Day 27

Theme - The Night of Decree

‫َ َ ُ ا َ ِر َ ٌ ِ َٔا ِ َ ٍ َ َ ُل‬ ‫وح‬ ٍ ‫ِ ِ ٕ ذ ِن َر ِ ِ ُ َٔا‬ ُ ّ ‫ا َ ِ َ ُ َوا‬ ِ َ ‫َ ٌم ِ َ َ ّ ٰ َ َ ِ ا‬ [ A l

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. In it the angels and the Spirit descend, by the leave of their Lord,with every command. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.

Practical Tip Plan a regular act of worship in the last ten nights and you will inshAllah guarantee the rewards of 83 years of good deeds. Something simple: donate a

£1 every night to a good cause,

commit to two rakah's of qiyaam after Isha, make a sincere duaa to Allah everytime you break your fast.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Renew your faith.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, how can we renew our faith?” The Prophet said, “Say "La illah illa Allah" (There is no God but Allah) often.” [Hadith Musnad Ahmad]

Practical Tip Renew your intentions throughout the month of Ramadan. In the same way that a great deed can be made worthless in the absence of a good intention, the smallest of actions can be magnified into something huge.

Day 29

Theme - Patience and Perseverance

[ A l

B a q a r a h :

O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.

Do not underestimate the power of prayer. Pour your heart out to Allah in your duaa and as you fast and study, remember that with every hardship comes ease Allah has equipped you with what you need to succeed both academically and spiritually. You can handle it!

Theme - End on a High Note

َ ِ ِ ‫ِإ َ ا َٔ ْ َ ُل ِ َ َ ا‬ "Verily, deeds are by their final actions"

[Hadith Bukhari]

As the month draws to a close, give thanks to Allah for allowing you to witness another Ramadan. End the month in humility - make Tawbah for the deficiencies of your actions. Finally, make a sincere intention to change for the better and to continue the habits you started in Ramadan.

Eid Mubarak!
