4.

CORRECT GENTLY

Offer to help - instead of staring at a father as he runs after his energetic toddler or a mother as she struggles to calm a baby, offer to help.

2. OFFER TO HELP

1. PlanningProper utilisation of any opportunity requires planning. Those who fail to plan, as the saying goes, plan to fail. Take out an hour today or tomorrow – if you have not already – to come up with objectives, actions and a daily schedule for Ramadan. It’s one thing to think I’ll read as much Qur’an/pray in masjid/taraweeh/tahajjud/da’wah as I can; it’s another to have specific targets and a specific daily schedule that you can follow, re-visit every few days as a control mechanism and generally facilitate a disciplined approach.

2. PreparationSeeking radical change overnight never works, or if it does, leads to early burnout. You want to add numerous actions to your usual activity, to the extent that for most people even your sleeping habits will change. Doing it all at once is not a good approach. Come up with a schedule to shift to part or all of it from now (ideally this should be a week in advance, but even if its just two days that’s better than nothing). This way you soften your entry allowing better momentum and a good start.

3. Consistency and practicalityAim for improving on your record. Everyone is at different levels. Everyone has a unique relationship with Allah (SWT). Aim to build on your relationship, not that of others. Compete with people at your level. Do that little bit more than you did last Ramadan. Keep the targets high but realistic, and seek consistency throughout the month. Don’t go in all guns blazing only to fall away by day 6. Work your way up, maintain effort throughout and then increase in the last ten.

4. Qur’anThe Qur’an deserves special attention in the month known by it – “The month of Ramadan in which the Qur’an was revealed”. Spend as much time with it as possible. So if you are fluent in reciting Qur’an, aim for finishing it in the month. It’s very much doable: one juz a day read over 60-

IMAM TIPS & HINTS

90 mins divided over 3-4 periods in the day. 4 x 15-20 minute periods is very doable, just requires discipline.

5. SalahThat Allah gave us tarawih – extra salah – in this month is no coincidence, neither is the fact that it’s in the night. Salah is the believer’s communication with Allah (SWT). Ramadan is the month of gaining closeness to Allah, speaking to Him, beseeching Him, asking Him. Work on your salat in this month. Extend the ruku a bit. Extend the sujood a bit. But don’t just extend. When there, try to realise the meaning of the act and the words being uttered. Feel that you’re bowing and prostrating before the One, the possessor of unimaginable power, perfect knowledge, incomparable forbearance and abundant mercy. Try to internalise that meaning.
