Ramadan Guide

To prevent time-wasting and distractions from steering the mind and
heart away from the remembrance of All\h I, it is essential that one
keeps check of oneself. This does not mean that one must do specific
actions at specific times, but it does mean that a person fixes times
during the day wherein he makes sure that he is doing something
religiously constructive.
Far} acts need, more than ever, to be performed with unyielding
punctuality. In reality, it should be that these are never missed at all.
One must remember that if one neglects even one Far} then no
amount of Nafl will ever recuperate the loss, and one may be liable to
be punished for it. Thus one’s priority must always be one’s Far\’i}.
Amongst the acts of worship given precedence in Rama}\n is the
recitation of the Qur’\n. Whatever free time one has should be spent
engaged in this beneficial deed.
We now present some day planners so that one may try to project
one’s daily routine in Rama}\n. Two daily spreads have been included
so that one may project a day wherein one has to go for work and
would generally be occupied, and the other when one is free from
one’s occupation, e.g. a weekend or a holiday.
Included in the Rama}\n timetable are two projection tables (work
day and holiday) that one may set one’s aims on. With that is included
a tick-list to make sure that one is sticking to it. If one should miss an
event then one should try to catch up on the same day, so as to avoid
accumulating them and letting them slip by.
We urge readers to try to utilise these as it would increase punctuality
within us. This is a quality we should all aim to have.
