Nice one from op

A piece of advice to the op:Maybe u shud start preparing for Ramadan by giving hijab a try.

PassingShot:
Jazaka Allah khayran sister.

If I may add to it, I'd say to improve in observing the 5 daily obligatory prayer regularly. This is very essential in observing Ramadhan with the piety one desires in it.

May Allah make it easy for us.

Aminat508:
Question: Ramadan is approaching. What are the practical steps that
can be taken by Muslims to prepare themselves for this
blessed month?


Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and
blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear questioner, thanks for such an important question, and
we earnestly implore Allah to help us reach the month of
Ramadan safe and sound and to enable us to fast it
diligently for the sake of Allah.
Allah Almighty says, (The month of Ramadan in which was
revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind, and clear
proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and
wrong).) (Al-Baqarah 2: 185)
Every Muslim should prepare himself to welcome the
blessed month of Ramadan by strengthening his
relationship with the Qur’an, busing himself with the spirit of
fasting, and recharging his spiritual battery to prepare
himself to make the whole blessed month of Ramadan a
real occasion of sincere obedience.
Responding to the question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty , a Senior
Lecturer and Islamic Scholar at the Islamic Institute of
Toronto, Ontario, Canada states:
Ramadan is an event that occurs in the life of the faithful,
as individuals and as an Ummah, once a year. It is intended
by Allah to help us to recharge our spiritual batteries and
thus prepare us for the great mission of realizing His will on
earth. Therefore, in order to benefit from Ramadan, we may
do well to prepare for it by opening our hearts and minds to
embrace it. Let me offer a few tips:
1. We should empower ourselves by learning as much as we
can about the precise laws as well as the benefits of fasting.
2. We should ensure that we gain true benefits from our
fasting, let us make sure to realize the spirit of fasting: this
can only be done by abstaining, not only from food, drink,
and sex, but also by strictly restraining our minds, hearts as
well as our eyes, ears, hands, tongue, and so on.
3. We must embrace the spirit of fasting as stressed in
Hadith: to be charitable and compassionate as much as we
can.
4. We should strengthen our relationship with the Qur’an;
for Ramadan is the month of the Qur’an.
5. We should engage in dhikr and condition ourselves to
make it second nature.
6. Last but not least, we should build up our community
through acts of charity and compassion and extending help
to those in need as much as we can.
Let us pray that we come out of Ramadan with our faith
recharged, gaining strength in our faith and commitment
and relationship with Allah.
Allah Almighty knows best.
