I got this is an e-mail and i thought it had some great advice mashAllah and tips:up:
Invite Ramadhan back...why not try to keep up the following sunnahs:
1. fast mondays and thursdays
2. Fast the 13th,14th, 15th of every islamic month (white days)
3. wake up for suhur (sehri/morning meal)- even if ur not fasting
19:26 '...say, 'I have vowed a fast to (Allah) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talk with any human being'
(not only will it protect you from the fire, but from the evil of the people -say "im fasting, im fasting")
4. Watch your tongue, purge all bad words; lets start a culture of compliments.
5. do your 11 or 23 rakaat of nafal (called taraweeh during ramdhan)
6. if u did tahajjud instead, keep it up, same number of rakaat, dont decrease!
7. stay up after fajr even for 30mins- to read Quran.
17: 78 '... Verily, the recitation of the Qur'ân in the early dawn is ever witnessed (attended by the angels)'
8. if u finshed the Quran, do it again! practice makes perfect for those of us who are slow readers.(the arabic and language u understand)
9. continue to feed others, those far and near, by invites and sadaqah.
10. Support those that are engaged in good and rectifying injustice, those ahead of us in khair(charities/ community projects..) so that you may share of Allahs mercy and reward.
Life doesnt stay the same, ur friends and family, status and wealth will not last:
28:88 '...There is no God but He. Everything will perish except His face. To Him belongs the command and to Him you will go back.'
Should we only make time for Allah and each other only on Ramadhan. Dont let this busy lifestyle delude you from your true purpose in life and where ur heading.
Wish you all the best, may Allah keep you all steadfast on his worship, as you were quick to respond to His call of iman.
Eid Mubarak.
