1) Straighten your intention - why are you fasting? Is it to please the people? Is it because you don't want to be the odd one out? Or is it to please Allâh and obey Him and to follow the sunnah of the messenger (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam).
2) Control your eating and be disciplined with your food - too much food makes you weak for worship, induces sleep, removes understanding and is bad for you. Be disciplined.
3) Monitor your ibaadah - maybe have a plan which you follow. Don't burn out in the first few days. Little and often is better.
4) Read as much Qur'an as possible - this is the month of the Qur'an. Focus your time on this and use this month to reconnect with the Book of Allâh.
5) Avoid distractions - no tv, games consoles, movies etc. Each second is like gold in this month so do not waste it on uselessthings .
6) Use it as a launch-pad for the rest of the year - repent, implement changes into your life and plan how you will improve between this Ramadhaan and the next.
7) Avoid swearing and foul speech - no useless chat and no cursing. Guard your tongue, especially in this month.
Give charity - be extra-generous in this and ensure you give something every day - even if it's a small amount.
9) Enjoy - Allâh loves this action. You're following the sunnah with billions of Muslims worldwide so smile and enjoy the blessings thaGt Allâh has placed in this month.
May Allah count us among dos dat will fast and be rewarded . Amin

Amin.

Jazakumllahu khaeran.

Seclude yourself in Allaah's House (Masjid) for the last nine or ten days.

Aamin... jazaakumullaahu khayran

Jazzakhalau khairan

Subhanallah.. Thanks for this. I always try to finish the quran every mon th of ramadhan before the end. Though I'm a slow arabic reader. But there is always this joy you feel afterwards. I read about 4pgs of the quran after every prayer. Starting from fatiha down to Naskhallahu khair sister. And ameen to your prayer!

read Quran often

Jazakum lah khaira. However, as much as people will want to maximize their reward, the Nigeria economic situation will always pose as hinderance when some people are living below $1 daily. The mind gets preoccupied with so many things. May Allah (SWT) grant us the will to perform our needful duties on earth.

As it is very important to read quran in this holy month, can one lay his hands on English quran if he can't read the arabic one?

Ameeen Thumma Ameeeen

there is nothing wrong in reading translated English Qur'an but the actual reward for reciting the Qur'an is with the Arabic text becos that is the language with which it was revealed.




You can learn the Arabic one from the basis and get to improve on it with time.


And Allah knows best.

Aameena ya Allah

Amin
