The holy month of Ramadan has started. May Allah shower his mercy upon you. It is the holiest Islamic month. So, we aim to devote ourselves in praying and doing good deeds to satisfy Allah. But managing our daily life while fasting all day long is not easy. You need extra time for prayer, reciting Quran, reading dua, preparing iftar and many other. To accomplish regular activities without hampering devotion you need a plan. Don’t worry, I’m here to help you out. I’m sharing some tips on how to plan in Ramadan, a daily routine to use time wisely during Ramadan.
Create a checklist
Since summer has long days, you have a good amount of time in hand. Make it worthy. Create a checklist. Note down all the work that you have to do. To be organized try to maintain the serial according to timeline. Then hang this list at a place where you can see everytime.
Set priority
You have a lot to do. But be specific. Since Ramadan is the priority so, include only those daily works that has to be done anyway. This will allow you to have enough time to pay attention to your prayers. Also involved in good deeds like donation, repenting.
Divide your prayers
Use your time wisely. If you can manage it well then you will reap the rewards. Make a schedule about when and how much you’ll perform acts of worship. Like if you aim to recite a whole para of Quran everyday then you may divide it into five parts after each salah. You can also do the same for extra dua or prayers. This plan actually helps you to reach your goal and feel satisfy.
Avoid wasting time
I know Ramadan is a joyful event for Muslims. People love to get together for Iftar, hangout in spare time, sleep to avoid hunger, spend time in social media and many. All these are enjoyable but apparently you’ll be running out of time. As Ramadan is the best time to get closer to Allah use it more for Salah, duas, repent and Quran recite. Even chant small duas when sitting idle.
Save your energy
Don’t put excessive pressure on you. Set do-able targets. As Ramadan brings a huge change in daily life, take time to get adjusted. Take rest after every prayer for a while and do heavy work after iftar. If require then don’t forget to take small nap.
Lastly, in this long month of Ramadan you should maintain a balanced life. When fasting try to stay at cool place. Eat food that keeps you full, long time. Drink enough water to avoid thirst. Talking for long can make us thirsty and tired. Instead get busy into meaning full activity like worship, making good habits etc.
