Mashallah well done. Be consistant now. If you trip then get up again and continue striving. Remember to not overwhelm yourself but build up gradually and at a reasonable speed. Any tips for how you overcame your hurdles?

TIP 12: Beating laziness in Ramadan.


It is essential that we remain as productive as possible throughout Ramadan. Ramadan is not a quick sprint but a long 26 mile Marathon. It requires perseverance, patience and the ability to beat laziness and procrastination when it arises. Therefore it is crucial that we stay on top of laziness in Ramadan so that we may achieve as much as possible. To do this we must firstly get our sleep patterns right. The tips for sleep pattern are above. Then we must NEVER over eat but we must eat light meals until we are satisfied and NOT until we are full. The tips for eating have also been mentioned. You must drink a sufficient amount of water if you are to be at your best this Ramadan. I would recommend at least 1 and a half - 2 litres from Iftar until Sehri.

It is simple as long as we have a good sleep pattern with a short nap in the afternoon to re-energize and we never over eat then we will stay on top of laziness. In the mornings do the Sunnah of awakening which is to rub face gently with dua. Then do some light stretches. These will help your body to wake up. Have a shower which will also help you to freshen up. It is also nice to go for a nice walk in the mornings as this will freshen and stimulate your mind and body and so wake you up even further preventing you from feeling tired and lazy. But do not tire yourself out by physically exherting yourself too much otherwise you will feel tired and lazy in a few hours as de-hydration kicks in.

Fatigue can also kick in especially when we do too much of a certain worship like if we are sitting there reciting Qur'an for several hours then fatigue will kick in but we should break down our worship into manageable chunks. So recite 2 or 4 pages or even half a chapter and then have a break or switch to another worship like making Dua, doing some dhikr or praying nawafil etc. In this way we will never feel restlessness and fatigue associated with doing too much of one thing without a break.

So whenever you start to feel a bit tired then don't lay down (unless your are going to have your afternoon nap) but get up and get some fresh air or what i would recommend is to get some cold water and splash some on your face and all over your neck particularly the back of the neck. Do some more stretches if need be.

Most of all have a focus. What is your focus everyday in Ramadan? Tell it to yourself everytime you wake up. Internalise in your mind what you will achieve throughout the day. Write it down in the Ramadan planner i have provided in the previous tips. You should have goals and targets which you will work towards achieving. Focus on achieving those goals and targets to the best of your ability and keep in mind that EVERY second in the blessed month of Ramadan is too precious to waste and we will NEVER gain these seconds again.

Also keep in mind that this may be your very last Ramadan and your FINAL opportunity to gain immense reward and blessings in the most beautiful of months. This is because life is uncertain and many have passed away before they could meet this month again and next year we may not be alive to see the next Ramadan so we MUST treat this as our last Ramadan.

Let us also ask of Allah to help us to maximise every second of this month and to help us to overcome laziness and procastination so that we may be as productive as possible. Let us act upon these tips so that we can make the best of every second in this blessed month in order to please Allah and get closer to him.

Medicines recommended by Imam Al-Ghazalî for controlling anger

Below the medicines of anger after one gets angry. This medicine is a mixture of knowledge and action.

The medicine based on knowledge is of six kinds:

(1) The first medicine of knowledge is to think over the rewards of appeasing anger, that have come from the verses of the Quran and the sayings of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). Your hope for getting rewards of appeasing anger will restrain you from taking revenge.

(2) The second kind of medicine based on knowledge is to fear the punishment of God and to think that the punishment of God upon me is greater than my punishment upon him. If I take revenge upon this man for anger, God will take revenge upon me on the Judgement Day.

(3) The third kind of medicine of anger based on knowledge is to take precaution about punishment of enemity and revenge on himself. You feel joy in having your enemy in your presence in his sorrows, You yourself are not free from that danger. You will fear that your enemy might take revenge against you in this world and in the next.

(4) Another kind of medicine based on knowledge is to think about the ugly face of the angry man, which is just like that of the ferocious beast. He who appeases anger looks like a sober and learned man.

(5) The fifth kind of medicine based on knowledge is to think that the devil will advise by saying: " You will be weak if you do not get angry!" Do not listen to him!

(6) The sixth reason is to think: " What reason have I got to get angry? What Allah wishes has occured!"

So let us act upon this and train ourselves not to get anger so that we may apply this to the rest of our lives inshallah.

I don't know it's like I just woke up, I was listening to Unity FM and there was tafseer of qur'an by Nou man Ali khan and I can't explain it, in the past I would listen to lectures and the words wouldn't go in, it's like I was deaf if that makes sense, but that day the words were going in and penetrating me and filling me with emotion.

He was explaining how we will have to stand before Allah and if we can't stand before Allah in this duniya for Salah then how can we ever expect to stand infront of him on the day of judgement, and he was saying that our NAFs is something that's been put in us and it's an external entity that we have to fight, our NAFs isn't us, it's an outside entity that is inside us and we have to fight it and not think it's our own desires. he said

"It's as if Allah is telling us that our NAFs is an external entity that's inside us and not really us when it calls us to evil"

then I began looking at my desires in a different way. And thinking about standing before Allah motivated me alhamdulilah.
 
TIP 13: Grab what you can for just 30 days!!!

Imagine you were given an opportunity to go through a huge shopping centre and grab whatever goods you wanted for a whole 30 days.

You can grab whatever goods you like for it is a free for all. People would go crazy to get such an amazing opportunity. Think about it a free shopping spree grabbing everything you can for a whole 30 days.

This same analogy applies to the blessed month of Ramadan. We have a once in a year opportunity for just 30 days to grab as many HUGE rewards as possible and best of all an opportunity to please Allah and get closer to him. This is the time of the year where all of this is made easier for us!

The Special offers are:

EVERY Nafil prayer rewarded like a Fard prayer!!!

Every Fard prayer rewarded like 70 fard prayers!!!

Every letter of the Qur'an rewarded a minimum of 100 good deeds and double for those who struggle reciting who get minimum of 200 for each letter!!!

EVERY good deed multiplied by 10!

So come on GRAB as many good deeds as you can before its too late. This may be your last chance to ever experience this blessed month for you may not be alive next year to benefit from these special offers ever again!

Surely on the day of judgement we will BEG each other for just one good deed but we won't get any because we will all be in need on that day. So grab what you can now before its too late!!!

Akhee Salahudeen, Give thanks to Allah(swt) abundantly for He(swt) has guided you to an understanding, an enlightenment that will Insha'Allah give you the drive you needed to succeed in the ultimate race. Alhamdulillah! Knowledge is indeed a gift from Allah(swt). Akhee you must always start thinking from this point of view. You are the Spirit that Allah(swt) created, and Allah(swt) has placed that Spirit in this Earthly Body. The Nafs the scholars say is the Life that results from the combination of the Ruh(Spirit) and the Body. Thus you must realize that the Nafs is always clinging to the desires of the flesh, the earthly body, and the challenge, the test of our existence is the taming, the disciplining, the purification of our Nafs, Submitting it to the purpose for which it was Created, i.e. to WORSHIP it's Creator. We must fight it, oppose it, discipline it whenever it calls us to anything that opposes the commandments of Allah(swt), and we must also direct it to follow and do what it is commanded to do, i.e. Ibadah, if it opposes it, refuses it, dislikes it. This is what we are rewarded for, this is the challenge that will either by Allah's mercy safe us from hell fire or lead us to perish in the blazing fire.

Remember also our enemy, the whisperer of evil. His tricks are numerous and always realize that whenever you have evil, negative, weak thoughts, suggesting to us that we should despair, lose hope, that we are incapable, a failure, all forms of negative thoughts that we have, we must immediately realize that those thoughts are the whispers of Shaytan. Shaytan's most dangerous weapon is to make you believe that his evil whispers are your own thoughts. You must shake yourself of them and Flee Unto Allah, say 'A`ūdhu billāhi min ash-shaitāni r-rajīmi (أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم) and re-gain your strength, turn your Qalb to Allah and seek strength through His remembrance.

May Allah(swt) purify our Nafs. Ameen ya Rabb!!

TIP 14: Organizing our time


A Muslim should learn how to organize their time, and make a realistic plan for their worldly and religious duties, without any of them overlapping the other. That is to say that one should know how to arrange one's priorities: the most important and the most urgent comes first, and carried out according to schedule. Organizing time also includes leaving a place for relaxation and entertainment.

One of the methods of managing our time properly is for a Muslim to get up early and sleep early, for early hours always yield great blessings. Starting our day with prayer and the supplication of the morning brings the Muslim Allah's grace. A Muslim should always bear in mind that every time has its own task that suits it. Doing tasks in their due times brings about peace of mind and comfort.

Verily, time is very important for our success both in this temporary world and the eternal world to come. If we waste time, if we abuse it, then we waste and abuse our lives. In the Life Hereafter we will be among the losers, who will suffer the torments in the Hell Fire, if Allah the Almighty will not forgive us. Therefore, if we really give value to our lives then, we must give due value to the importance of time.

There is NO time that a Muslim should try and make the best of than in the blessed month of Ramadan. This month is a mercy for us and it is a time of the year like no other. So special significance must be placed especially in this month to make the best use of our time and for us to organize our schedules and days so that we achieve as much as possible spiritually doing everything we can to please Allah and refraining from anything which angers and displeases him.

Once we have gained the habit of making good use of our time we must NEVER let go of it and carry this habit with us until our last breath because we do not know when our appointed time will come.

To make the best use of our time you can download a Ramadan hourly planner where you can set yourself daily and hourly targets and plan your day everyday this Ramadan:

Here is a worship check where you can check and monitor your daily worship so that you can do even more the next day:

May Allah help us to make the best use of our precious time and to spend every precious second we have in his remembrance and worship. Ameen

Tip 15 - Productivity tips regarding how to maximize recitation of the Qur'an during this blessed month:


Ramadan is the month of the Qur'an so we should do our utmost to recite the Qur'an as much as possible for the reward of every good act is multiplied by 70 during Ramadan. So if there are ten rewards for reciting one letter of the Qur'an outside of Ramadan then if we multiply ten by 70 then that makes upto 700 rewards for reciting just one letter of the Qur'an. Subhaanallah.

Those who struggle reciting the Qur'an get double the reward:

So those who struggle to recite the Qur'an get upto 1400 good deeds for reciting each letter. The bigger and better our intentions then the more Allah will reward us for every good act. So these rewards are just minimum.

Set targets: Therefore we should set a realistic target for ourselves of how much of the Qur'an we will recite depending on what we have to do in our day. If we are free then alhamdulillah we should aim for a minimum of 3 Qur'an in this month or more. If we are working and busy then one Qur'an is possible.

It is best to break down what you will recite in manageable chunks. For example read half a juz before Dhuhr, Half after, half before Asr, Half after, A half before Maghrib and then half before sleep etc. In this way we can recite the Qur'an a little bit at a time and that way not feel fatigued, restless and avoid getting bored. We should also take regular breaks and even do Dhikr in between or just rest for a while.

So set yourself daily targets of how much Qur'an you will recite and devote much of your worship on reciting the Qur'an as it is the month of the Qur'an.

Alhamdollellah, fasting while pregnant is not bad, I am surviving. My husband support alot. May Allah reward him abundantly.

Actually I tried on Wednesday to see if I can manage, and seems okay. I didnt feel dizzy really, occassionally I feel hangry which is too normal. Some people said I am cruel, I didnt care for the baby, some mom said they fast all the way they were pregnant. Im on fifth month and I really pray that Allah allows me to fast till end of Ramadan.

May Allah accept our fasting. May Allah love us all. May Allah have mercy on us always, may Allah forgive our sins and give us many chances to improve ourselves... :cry: I love being a Muslim really, dont know what to do if I am not Muslim.

May Allah reward you and any other Muslim extra rewards for fasting with more difficulty than a normal person. The ruling regarding fasting whilst pregnant:

It remains obligatory, unless the woman genuinely fears harm, with near surety, or sickness for herself or for the child. "Genuine fear" is that which is based on: previous experience, clear unmistakable signs, or being informed by a qualified Muslim doctor who is not outwardly corrupt.

You should certainly take it easy sister and do as much worship as you are able to without experiencing any great difficulty. If you cannot stand to pray then you can sit especially the Tarawee prayers. You can do many other acts of worship whilst resting like dhikr, recitation of Qur'an, reading the tafseer and meanings of the Qur'an or an Islamic book.

May Allah give us the ability to strive in this blessed month to get closer to him and do everything to please him. Ameen
 
Asalam Alaikkum Brother Hamza,

Thanks for the tips. May Allah keep rewarding you. Ameen

Actually I dont have problem with praying (I just cant pray if I am full), few minutes after every meal I can pray like a normal person.
And my husband lead the Tarawee and he waits for me if I am becoming slow, may Allah bless him so much. Ameen

My main fear was not standing the hanger, alhamdollellah in 4days I fasted, 3days was kinda hard. I almost gave up on 3rd day but what is my difficulty compare to Millions of Brothers and Sisters suffering without food or in war like Syrians, may Allah end their sufferings. Ameen

And yesterday was just excellent. Alhamdollellah, till now it is excellent,
For people who loss energy quickly I think we should limit water to maximum 100ml lol
I drink almost no water, instead I make fresh juice (like watermelon)...

and P.S. I think I was eating more this Ramadan than normal days, so inshallah my baby is just fine.

I hope everyone is having a good Ramadan.

Fruits like watermelon are very good but the best hydration is water as water is the best drink in this world and the next. Therefore you should aim to try and drink closer to 2 litres per day and you will see a huge difference inshallah.

May Allah give you the best of this world and the next. Ameen
 
Tip 17: Had a bad day of not doing much worship:


If you have had a bad day today where you have not read much Qur’an or done much dhikr etc. then do not let it put you off or let it ruin the rest of the evening or following days worship. Just pick yourself up and carry on. Do not let the time we have wasted make us waste even more time.

The main thing is not to overwhelm ourselves but also not to underwhelm ourselves. So we should strike the right balance so that we can continue doing a good amount of good deeds daily. But what we must never do is let our lack lustre performance with regards to worship deter or stop us from improving and progressing. We must keep striving and keeping in mind the blessings of this month.

We must also try our best to imprint, internalise and always keeping in our minds the following:

“I cannot afford to waste a second of this blessed month and that I must say and do everything that will please Allah and that will benefit me in this world and the next and that I must leave anything which may anger or displease Allah and may harm me and not benefit you in this world or the next.”

Write it down somewhere where you think you will be able to keep referring to it. Even print it out and hang it up. This should be the way we live each and every second of our lives.

If we lived with this concept then surely we will be successful inshallah!
 
Tip 18: Have a fresh start for the last 10 days of Ramadan and prepare to change your life forever!


Do you feel that you have not made the best of Ramadan so far? Do you feel down thinking that Ramadan is almost over and you feel as though you hav not gained much from it like you expected to or wanted to and that you could have done so much more.

Well all is not lost as the best is still to come and you can still redeem yourself in the most blessed days of Ramadan which are the last 10 days and nights of Ramadan!

The opportunity to make positive changes to our lives:

We can still change our lives for the better forever during these blessed days and nights. Within the nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan there is a night better than 83 years of worship and it is a night where we can gain an entire lifetime of forgiveness.

The reason why Allah has made the night so ambiguous is so that we can search for it. When i say search for it i mean so that we can worship as much as possible in the last ten days and nights.

So this is our opportunity to redeem ourselves this Ramadan. This is our opportunity to gain MORE THAN A LIFETIME of worship reward in just one night. This is an opportunity to have ALL of our vast sins wiped out in just a single night. This is an opportunity for us to change our lives for the better forever. But it is not enough to just grab the immense rewards available to us and not change ourselves or strive to go towards Allah.

This is a unique and special opportunity for us to beg of Allah, cry to him and ask of him to forgive us and enable us to get closer to him and for us to fulfill our obligations unto him. If we do not pray then this is our chance to begin. If we are far away from our deen and from Allah then this is our chance to get closer to our deen and closer to Allah.

If we are not working and investing in the hereafter then this is our opportunity to work for and invest in the hereafter.

If we do not grab this opportunity now to make the necessery changes and we were to die then what will we answer to Allah? He gave us SO many opportunities to change yet we did not take heed.

We may NEVER get this opportunity again! Therefore we MUST make these changes now for tomorrow may never come and surely we will be of those who will ask of Allah for one more chance but by then it would have been too late! We do not want to be of the regretful ones. The losers of the next world or chased this world but got nothing from it nor did we get nothing in the Hereafter.

The nights are short so beware and do not to let the nights pass without making the best of them for they will pass very quickly!

So let us prepare ourselves for the best days and nights of this month where we can still redeem ourselves and change our lives FOREVER!
 
Tips 19: It is more about quality Dua's than length or quantity of Dua's :


It is not necessarily the quantity or length of Dua's that is important but it is the quality of one's Dua which really matters the most. Quality in that we make Dua to Allah like a slave and begger in proper humility and meekness asking of Almighty Allah the Lord and master of the Universe the majesty of honour and generosity, the most high and honoured one whereas we are most low and insignificant like a speck of dust.

Let us ask of him because we are in need but know that he does not need us. Even if every human was to stop worshipping him then that would not take anything away from his majesty and honour.

It is very important that we concentrate and be mindful of Allah whilst doing Dua and do not let our minds wonder. We should not be neglectful in our dua's because if we do not focus on Allah in our Dua's then why should he focus on us whilst we are making Dua?

Whilst in Dua we should try to imagine Almighty Allah in front of us watching us make Dua to him. We should try to be as sincere as possible whilst in our Dua’s, so it is far better if we try to cry out of meekness and humility and are most remorseful of our sins past and present and that we resolve never to repeat them again. We should cry for the salvation of ourselves and our parents and families and those of our families. We should cry like sincere beggers and slaves to the master of the Universe. We should cry for the sad state our Ummah and for our brothers and sisters that are being oppressed and for those that are ill and those that are starving and in poverty. But if we cannot cry then we should at least make our face like we are crying.

It is also recommend to make a Dua list that one can refer to it whilst in Dua so one does not forget what to make Dua for. We should try to mix our worship so we do not feel tired or bored. Therefore we should devote much of the night to the Qur'an and make much Dhikr and Dua in between. We should also pray Tahajjud and make Dua after it as Dua is readily accepted in the latter part of the night and just before Fajr begins.

So let us make the best of each and every second of this most blessed and precious month and make the most quality, sincere and intense Dua's as we will NEVER get this Ramadan back again once it is gone and there is no guarantee that we will make it until next Ramadan.
 
Tip 20:

Follow these tips below to assist you in increasing your worship and connection with Allah (subhana wa ta’ala):

1. Grab a nap

Carving out time for a 10- or 20-minute nap during the day will make you feel more alert and boost your mood, concentration and motor skills. If your schedule allows for it, find a cool quiet place to lie down to make it easier to fall asleep. Make sure you don’t nap for much longer than 20 minutes or you’ll wake up groggy. Take your nap just before Asr so that you’re good to go for taraweeh.

2. Hit the gym

It may be the last thing you want to do when you’re already tired, but exercise is an excellent way to recharge, according to Beth Mansfield, a clinical exercise physiologist and registered dietitian in Ottawa. Any amount of physical activity—even a 10-minute walk—will increase blood flow to all parts of your body making you feel more energetic. Take three 10-minute breaks for exercising throughout the day, or even before taraweeh.

3. Eat for energy

Even a modest amount of sleep deprivation can affect grehlin and leptin, the hormones responsible for keeping your metabolism working properly. This can make you feel hungrier and may lead to cravings for high-calorie, high-carb foods. But munching on those will only make you feel zonked again later when your blood sugar crashes. To eat for energy, start your day with a suhoor/breakfast made up of healthy carbohydrates, such as oatmeal with one-half cup of fruit, or cottage cheese.

4. Fill your cup

Lack of fluids can make you feel fatigued, so make sure you’re drinking about 1 mL of fluid for every calorie you eat, says Mansfield. That means if you consume a 2,000 calorie diet, you need about eight cups (2,000 mL) of fluids per day to stay hydrated and energized. Water isn’t your only option: you can also hydrate with milk, tea and wet foods, such as yogurt and soups. If you’ve got a coffee habit, drinking caffeine will temporarily make you more alert by blocking sleep-inducing chemicals in the brain. Just be sure to limit your intake to one 8oz. (250 mg) of caffeine per day to ensure that your coffee habit won’t block out your mind.

5. Do a mini-meditation

Meditating can re-energize you by relaxing your mind and body, says Toronto mind-body therapist Louise Gabrielle. In the middle of the day, spend five minutes doing a conscious relaxation exercise: lie down on the floor with your legs on a wall, your arms at your sides and your head on a pillow (keep your hips close to the wall to avoid knee strain). Focus your mind’s attention on each body part, inviting your whole body to relax. Another option is lying on the ground with your calves and feet up on the seat of a chair. “When your legs are raised up, it’s very good for regenerating the body,” Gabrielle advises. If you like, add in some gentle breathing, inhaling slowly and fully.

So there you go- Get energised and get going!
