HOW CAN WE PREPARE FOR THIS BLESSED MONTH (RAMADAAN)?

Gathered by Abu Mardiy Kewdirôrun At-thaqoofiy

Praise be to Allaah and blessings of Allaah be upon His Messenger and Chosen Prophet.

Many people misunderstand the true nature of fasting, and they make it an occasion for eating and drinking, making special sweets and staying up late at night and watching shows on satellite TV.

Among the best ways of preparing for the month of Ramadaan are:

1 –Sincere repentance.

This is obligatory at all times, but because of the approach of a great and blessed month, it is even more important to hasten to repent from sins between you and your Lord, and between you and other people by giving them their rights, so that when the blessed month begins you may busy yourself with acts of worship with a clean heart and peace of mind.

Allaah say: “And all of you beg Allaah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful” [An-Noor 24:31].

It was narrated from Al-Agharr bn Yasaar (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O people, repent to Allaah for I repent to Him one hundred times each day. "Narrated by Muslim (2702).

2 –Du’aa’ (supplication).

It was narrated from some of the Salaf (righteous predecessors) that they used to pray to Allaah for six months that they would live until Ramadaan, then they would pray for five months afterwards that He would accept it from them.

The Muslim should ask his Lord to let him live until Ramadaan with a strong religious commitment and good physical health, and he should ask Him to help him obey Him during the month, and ask Him to accept his good deeds from Him.

3 – Rejoicing at the approach of the blessed month.

The arrival of Ramadaan is one of the great blessings that Allaah bestows upon His Muslim slave, because Ramadaan is one of the occasions of good in which the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed.

It is the month of the Qur’aan and of decisive battles in the history of our religion.

Allaah says:.“Say: ‘In the Bounty of Allaah, and in His Mercy (i.e. Islam and the Qur’aan); —therein let them rejoice.’ That is better than what (the wealth) they amass” [Yoonus 10:58].

4 – Discharging the duty of any outstanding obligatory fasts.

It was narrated that Aboo Salamah said: I heard ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) say: I would owe fasts from the previous Ramadaan and I would not be able to make them up except in Sha’baan. Narrated by Al-Bukhaari (1849) and Muslim (1146).

Al-Haafezh Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: From her keenness to do that in Sha’baan it may be understood that it is not permissible to delay making them up until another Ramadaan begins. Fathul-Baari (4/191).

5 – Seeking knowledge in order to be able to follow the rulings on fasting and to understand the virtues of Ramadaan.

6 – Hastening to complete any tasks that may distract the Muslim from doing acts of worship.

7 – Sitting with one’s family members – wife and children – to tell them of the rulings on fasting and encourage the young ones to fast.

8 – Preparing some books which can be read at home or given to the imam of the mosque to read to the people during Ramadaan.

9 – Fasting some of the month of Sha’baan in preparation for fasting Ramadaan.

It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast until we thought that he would always fast, then he would not fast until we thought that he would always not fast, but I never saw him fast in any month more than he fasted in Sha’baan.

He used to fast all of Sha’baan, and he used to fast all of Sha’baan apart from a few days.” Narrated by Al-Bukhaari (1868) and Muslim (1156).

10 – Reading Qur’aan.

Salamah ibn Kuhayl said: It was said that Sha’baan was the month of the Qur’aan readers.

When Sha’baan began, ‘Amr ibn Qays would close his shop and free his time for reading Qur’aan.

Now Rajab has passed, so what will you do in Sha’baan if you are seeking Ramadaan?

This is how your Prophet and the early generations of the Ummah were in this blessed month, so what will you do?

May Almighty Allaah let us reach Ramaadan with a strong religious commitment and good physical health.

ALHAMDULILLAH FOR EVERYTHING

I've always wondered why the price of foodstuffs always skyrockets during ramadan and why all the Muslims I know always seem to get fatter After reading this article from last year's ramadan, now I know why:

Abu Dhabi hospitals report rise in overeating cases this Ramadan

ABU DHABI // Emergency departments are reporting an influx of people with stomach pains and nausea after overeating at iftar – with the number of patients at some hospitals having doubled since the start of the holy month.

Dr Magdi Mohamed, a consultant in emergency medicine at Burjeel Hospital in Abu Dhabi, said there were between 160 and 180 patients visiting its A&E department on a daily basis.

During Ramadan, about a quarter of these are suffering with gastrointestinal problems because of overeating at iftar, putting a strain on hospital ­resources.

"At least 40 a day are complaining about symptoms related to this," he said. "The first is gastritis – an acute inflammation of the stomach – and the second is gastroenteritis, an infection of the stomach and intestines together, resulting in vomiting or diarrhoea."

Other stomach cramps and pains are often down to contaminated food or food not being prepared properly, he said.

Many patients needed medication to ease stomach cramps, intravenous fluid to rehydrate and a short stay in the hospital to recuperate.

Dr Mohamed said about half a dozen patients a day were also found to have kidney stones, which is commonly associated with dehydration.

Dr Indira Gouthaman, of the department of family medicine at LLH Hospital in Abu Dhabi, said the number of ­patients presenting with stomach problems had doubled since the start of Ramadan because of overeating at iftar.

"We get about 12 a day, which is almost double the number of cases compared with the rest of the year," she said.

"Abdominal pain – mainly upper abdominal pain – is the most common symptom.

"Patients also come with vomiting and nausea and sometimes loose stools. Gaseous distension and bloating of the abdomen are also seen."

The number of patients with stomach problems also soared at Medeor 24x7 Hospital in the capital because of people breaking the fast too quickly, with too much food, according to Dr Marigold Hofilena Daclan, a general practitioner at the emergency department.
