PLEASE HELP KEEP YOUR MASJIDQUIET AND CLEAN

Parents are fully responsiblefor their children at all the times

During and after Isha & Taraweeh prayersadult and youth outside the prayer hall

ARE NOT ALLOWEDNo one allowed to play outside after 9:00 pm

Eat, drink and be moderateAlmost all of us do it - once Iftar time hits, we just keep

plowing food and drink into our mouths till it's hard to move af-terwards. And those of us who do it know this is totally con-trary to the spirit of Ramadan, through which we're supposedto learn self-control not self-indulgence. Let's try to stick to theProphetic rule on eating: fill our stomachs with one-third food,one-third water and one-third breathing space, even in Ra-madan.

Read 5 minutes of Quran a day...just five, not more, not less

Even if you feel you've got absolutely no time, set a timeror the alarm on your cell phone and find a relatively quiet place.You can read the first page of the Quran you open or follow asequence. The choice is yours. The point is simply to connectwith God through His revelation in the month of the Quran.

Memorize 4 new SurahsMemorizing the Quran often seems like a daunting

task. But the key is doing it in small bites. Since there arefour weeks in Ramadan, try to memorize one new Surah aweek. Start off with a short, easy one. Once you've started,you'll build momentum and may even want to memorize alonger one the following week.

Attend the Taraweeh prayer in which the recita-tion of the Quran will be finished

Post-Iftar, the first urge is to sleep after an exhaustingday. But try your best to head out to the mosque forTaraweeh prayers. Praying alone is wonderful, but doing itin congregation is fantastic. The community spirit is part ofRamadan's blessings. Don't miss it this year. If going everyday is not possible, try going at least once week.

Call the local mosque and find out which day the Imamwill be finishing the recitation of the Quran in prayer. At-tend to not only hear part of the Quran's recitation in prayer,but also participate in the heart-rending Duas that follow it.

Stop swearing and/or backbiting -with a special box

It's hard not to shoot our mouths off when someone'supset us. Whether we utter those four-letter words or back-bite about someone to our family and friends, we know thisisn't the God-approved way of letting off steam. In Ramadan,when we want to build our spirituality, we've got to wageJihad against our bad habits.

Try this: get a box and every time you catch yourselfswearing or backbiting put some money in it. It could be abuck or less. The point is to choose an amount that makes itfeel like punishment.

At the end of the month send the money to a charity orbuy a gift for the person whom you've backbitten the mostagainst.

Call/email your relativesYou'd think that given the easy access to email, com-

petitive long-distance calling rates, phone cards, etc. thesedays, we'd keep in touch with family and friends more often.But the opposite seems to be the case, as we get caught upin life's "busyness."

Strengthening ties with family members and keepingin touch with friends is part of our way of life and an actAllah is very pleased with. This Ramadan, call family andfriends or at least email them a Ramadan card and ask themhow their fasting is going.

Go on a technology dietEven if you work in the IT industry, you can do this.

Avoid checking personal email and surfing the web duringyour fast. After Iftar, instead of plopping yourself in front ofthe screen, go to Tarawih. The same goes for the television.The point is to try to give our full attention to spiritual ele-vation this month.

Give a dollar a day in charity...or five or tenThe Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon

him, was always generous but even more so in Ramadan.Let's open our hearts and dig a little deeper in our walletsthis year. Even less than a dollar a day adds up. Whateveryou can give, it's the intention that counts.

Forgive everyone who has hurt youStill got a festering wound from the fight with your

friend last year? Still upset about something your spousesaid during a heated argument? Or are you still bitter aboutthe way your parents sometimes treated you as a kid? Let goof the anger and pain this Ramadan and forgive those whohave hurt you. Forgiving someone is not only good for thebody, but it's also great for the soul. And in Ramadan, tendays of which are devoted to Allah's forgiveness, shouldn'twe lesser beings forgive too?

If you find it very difficult to forgive everyone, forgiveat least three people.

Still got a festering wound from the fight with your friend last year? Still upset about something your spouse saidduring a heated argument? Or are you still bitter about the way your parents sometimes treated you as a kid?

Let go of the anger and pain this Ramadan and forgive those who have hurt you.
