There are six months left before Ramadan begins. It was narrated from some of the salaf that they used to pray to Allah for six months in advance to let them live until Ramadan, and would after that pray to Allah for five months after Ramadan to accept it from them. In treading upon the footsteps of the salaf, I ask Allah to let us all live to witness the coming Ramadan and to embrace it with strong religious commitment and good physical health.

Say: 'In the Bounty of Allah, and in His Mercy therein, let them rejoice.' That is better than what (the wealth) they amass. (Yoonus 10:58)

Of the acts that we can do to prepare for Ramadan, is to complete the making up of the fasts that we had missed from the previous Ramadan.

In Al Bukhaari and Muslim, 'Aisha (r), the wife of the Messenger :saws1:, said: "I would owe fasts from the previous Ramadan and I would not be able to make them up except in Sha'baan."

We know that 'Aisha (r) is the wife of the Messenger :saws1: and the daughter of Abu Bakr (r), so we know that she is among the best of those who would hasten to do good deeds. But the question arises in our minds: why did 'Aisha (r) wait 11 months before making up the fasts of Ramadan? What was so important that she had to wait a month before the next Ramadan to make up the fasts for the previous one?

The answer is a very touching one, and one that truly reflects her true obedience to Allah and her piety. She had to wait all the way until Sha'baan because she was busy in obedience to her husband, the Messenger :saws1:.

Of the lessons we can take from her saying is that it is permissible to delay it until Sha'baan, but of course it is always better to make up for obligatory fasts as soon as one is able to.

I totally failed hard at last year's Ramadan.

No, Eid al Adha is right after the hajj is complete. This happens a few months after Eid al Fitr, which is at the end of Ramadhan.
