Ramadan Tips on the Individual Level 1. Start your day with light rak`ahs after Suhur and before Fajr Prayer. 2. Make sure to pray Fajr in congregation to be given complete light in the Day of Judgment that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) promised those who pray Fajr in the mosque. 3. Have a daily Quran reading assignment (wird). Reading one Juz’ (part) is the minimum that you can do in Ramadan. If you really cannot, then try to read as much as you can. If you have a recitation group after Fajr, this will help tremendously to make the task easy. 4. Assign to yourself that task of reading the tafseer of one juz’; knowing the meaning of the vocabulary and the context. 5. Try not to eat much. Follow the Sunnah (one third for food, one third for water and one third for air). This will help a lot in being attentive and not being lethargic during the Tarawih Prayer. 6. Challenge yourself to observe Duha Prayer. The Prophet said that this Salah is the one of the sincere and pious people. 7. Each day in Ramadan, teach yourself the meaning of Allah beautiful Names. 8. Take a nap to be able to stay focused during `Isha’ and Tarawih prayers. Wishing you a joyous Ramadan.
