As far as I can remember, this is the first time I've consciously prepared for Ramadhan. Like many, come every Shaabaan, I start of to-do list of Ramadhan Prep stuff. Unfortunately it get's stuck there.
Remember folks, I'm the Professional Procrastinator. I'm also a Major Do-Nothing-er.
And while this is fairly typical of a Type Four, I'm also surrounded by wonderful people who have interesting things they're working on, and yes, I tend to zap myself into that. [More on the Type Four Enneagram stuff later, inshaAllah!]
Allhumdulilah, this year I've been able to knock of a couple of the big ticket items on my list, and with under two weeks to go before the blessed month arrives, inshAllah, I'll be able to get going with the other stuff too.
Some of the things on that list:
- Keep qadha fasts
- Read salaat at the earliest time, as per the meaning of "establishing" salaat (vs. "praying" or "reading")
- Increase recitation of the Quraan
- Recite the musnoon duaas and litanies daily. I have this awesome little book that was gifted to me, and I can't begin to describe how grateful I am for it!
And there's obviously more..but I won't bore y'all with the details. So, I'm now left wondering what other people are up to. How do you prep for the Blessed Month?
