Steps
- Go to the mosque. Even though it might be far away, you should go anyway. You might make some friends. Also, food is served to break your fast, and the mosque also provides dinner and dessert. You won't have to worry about cooking for a whole month!
- Pray. This four letter word can mean a lot sometimes. It helps you gain virtue. It's also beneficial when Allah answers prayers that come honestly from your heart. Remember that an open heart leads to an open mind, especially if Allah is remembered in your heart and mind. Read the Qur'an with the translation. It's really heart-warming and it motivates you to do righteous deeds.
- Learn a new recipe. After a whole day of fasting, your family's going to be expecting something good. The same goes for the heavy breakfast before Fajr time. Your family will feel satisfied, and Allah will shower you with blessings for making them happy with good intentions.
- Make Falooda Kulfi
- Make Baba Ghanoush
- Make Halwa Puri
- Make a Quick Pizza
- Make Adana Kebab
- Refrain from doing bad deeds. All your hard work will go to waste by keeping the bad behavior persistent.
- Read some hadith about Ramadan. You'll learn what its purpose is (the Qur'an gives detail too). You'll also run over some wisdom while you're reading.
- Give alms. It'll make you feel good! Also, it's an obligation. Remember that once you give charity, you can't take it back. That's why you should have good intentions before you do anything good.
- Act According to the Five Pillars of Islam.
