RAMADAN PLEDGE OF INTENTION
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All thanks and praise is due to Allah alone, the Lord of the Worlds. We praise Him, seek refuge with
Him, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our souls, and the mistakes
in our actions. Whomever Allah Guides, there is none who can misguide him, and whoever Allah misguides, there is none who can guide him. Verily, there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah,
and Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is His servant and Messenger.
We would like to extend our warm and hearty welcome

to you, our brothers and sisters in Islam. JazakAllahu
khairan kathira for choosing Ramadan Action Plan as
your Ramadan daily planner for 2014!
This planner
will help you to
make the most
of your Ramadan
and prepare
you to maintain
the spirit even
after Ramadan!
Ramadan, the most awaited month of the hijri year

brings with it all sorts of goodness and happiness and
the wide mercy and forgiveness of Allah. Ramadan also
takes the believer closer to Allah and away from the
Devil and Hellfire. Truly, Ramadan is a wonderful gift of
Allah to all believers!
Just like how mangos are pressed for its juice, olives
for its oil and roses for its perfume, the benefits and
rewards of Ramadan will only be achieved if we work
hard and sincerely for it. This planner will help you to
make the most of your Ramadan and prepare you to
maintain the spirit even after Ramadan!
May Allah make this Ramadan beneficial, productive
and rejuvenating for the body and soul. May He answer
our prayers, accept our deeds, keep us steadfast and
intellectually and spiritually revived until the next
Ramadan. Aameen.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

I,
_____________________________ (your name)

Solemnly make this pledge to my Lord and Cherisher, Allah the Almighty, seeking His assistance
and acceptance.
Every single action that I do will depend on the quality of my intention. Therefore, I testify
that I will always purify and renew my intention and seek for His Forgiveness solely to earn
His pleasures.
I promise I will not compare myself to anyone. I believe that everyone is at a different level and
success is when I am better than I was yesterday.
This Ramadan, I will bring myself to a better level by improving my character. I intend to always
repent, forgive others, stop doing bad habits and replace it with good habits. I agree to keep
track of my daily action, to practice self-control, and to motivate myself to do more everyday with
the right intention. I agree to continue doing with what I have learned and practiced this month
after Ramadan.
May Allah grant me guidance and strength to make this Ramadan productive. May He make it
easy for me to turn to Him completely and perpetually. Aameen.

RAMADAN GUIDANCE
INTRODUCTION
Fasting the month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is one of the greatest
acts of worship a believer can perform. It is an act that cleanses ones mind, body, and
soul from the spiritual and physical impurities of this world. It is an act that brings the
hearts of Muslims together on a worldwide level as they endeavour to practice the virtue
of self-discipline in unison. And it is an act that satiates the hungry soul for its eagerness
to please Allah.
Fasting the month of Ramadan is obligatory upon every Muslim, male and female, who is
healthy, sane and past the age of puberty.
The Purpose of Ramadan

The month of Ramadan is not like any other month; its purpose
is to rid us of those habits, which we have accumulated
throughout the rest of the year. It is a month that prepares
us for the remaining eleven months by teaching discipline
and self-control. Thus, Allah has made some acts, which
are beloved to man, like eating, drinking and fulfilling ones
desires, Haraam during fasting.
If we can control these desires (which are usually permissible
for us) in this month, then we can surely control ourselves
from other desires, which are not permissible, throughout the
remaining months.
Allah has sent this blessed month for us, so that we can create
a connection and draw closer to Allah by reaping the many
rewards that lie in this month.
A person who has been given the opportunity to be present
in this month can take this as a sign that Allah has given
them another opportunity to draw closer to Him and earn His
paradise through worship in this month.
As the blessed month of Ramadan approaches, we need to

prepare for it in such a way that we can gain the maximum
benefit of this month.
Here are some tips to help:
Ramadan is the
month where Allah
allows us to really
fulfill the purpose
of our being, and
the purpose of
our creation.
Discipline: Most people already know to abstain from eating,

drinking, and sexual relations from ones spouse during the
daytime of Ramadan.
However, a level of discipline must be developed to do
righteous acts and abstain from those acts, which would earn
the displeasure of Allah. This is a basic form of discipline that
needs to be developed but along with that, one needs to
have discipline in following a particular routine or schedule
for Ramadan. This will be the real life changing factor for an
individual i.e. waking up for Suhoor, praying Tahajjud, reciting
Quran, making dua, reading 5 daily Salah, making dhikr,
giving in charity, and other voluntary acts.
Devotional life (Ibadah): Ramadan is the month where Allah
allows us to really fulfill the purpose of our being, and the
purpose of our creation. Allah created us all to worship Him,
and Him alone.
Identifying with the Ummah: Fasting allows us to identify with
our brothers and sisters around the world who are suffering
from hunger and thirst, and to be grateful for whatever Allah
has given us.
Contact with the Quran: Ramadan is the month wherein
the Quran was revealed. This is the month of the Quran. It is
extremely essential to establish a relationship with the Quran.
Individuals should read at least one juz per day so that they
finish at a minimum, one entire Quran for the month of
Ramadan. If one can do more, then it is even better.
RAMADAN GUIDANCE
Then read one section of the Arabic part (if one can) and then
read the translation, followed by the commentary.
Also, try to memorize those chapters/surahs, which are read
often like Surah Mulk, Kahf, YaSeen, Waqiah, and Sajdah.
Ramadan is a
month of sacrifice
and struggle. It
is a month where
Allah wants our
time, our health,
our wealth, and our
whole being.
Sacrifice: Ramadan is a month of sacrifice and struggle. It is a

month where Allah wants our time, our health, our wealth, and
our whole being. We must strive to live this one month solely
worshipping our Creator. Allah will reward us in this world and
the next accordingly.
Be thankful for
all that we have in
every aspect, even
the basic things
we neglect and
take for granted.
Dua: The essence of worship is supplication to Allah. This

whole month, Allah is willing and readily open to accept all that
we ask of Him. It is only to our own loss and detriment that we
lack in begging Allah for the things we need.
Good Company: Ramadan is a month to maximize on good

deeds and keep bad deeds at zero. Being in the company of
the righteous will allow one to attain this goal.
The minimum benefit one gets by being in good company is
that one will not sin which in turn will cause one to become the
greatest worshiper.
As Narrated in Tirmidhi; The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be
upon him) took Abu Hurayrah (Radhiyallahu anhu)s hand and
We have Imaan, we have Islam, and we have been given the

Quran. The best way to appreciate a bounty is to use it for
its purpose.
Allah has blessed us with infinite blessing and bounties.
Ramadan is one of those bounties, so to fully appreciate
Ramadan, we must spend it in the way Allah would like us to
spend it and attain our goal, which is Taqwa.
Following the Sunnah: Allah has proclaimed the Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) as His beloved. If we follow
the Sunnah and show a resemblance, then we can also gain the
focus of Allah. Particularly follow the Sunnah acts, which the
Prophet (Peace be upon him) performed in Ramadan.
Prioritize your supplications. Ask firstly for yourself, then your

family, community, then the Ummah at large. Within that,
prioritize and ask for things pertaining to the hereafter, then
ask for things pertaining to this world.
There are certain things Allah loves to do, and one of them is
to answer the supplications of His servants who call unto Him.
Gratitude: The secret to an increase in anything is to be

thankful for it. Be thankful for all that we have in every aspect,
even the basic things we neglect and take for granted.
The best way for anything to be done is the way of the Sunnah.
Remember, Ramadan
is a glimpse of the
person that you can
be every single day.
In order to get the most benefit, and to allow ease to carry it

on after Ramadan ends, do not tire one self out in the initial
stages of Ramadan, rather figure out a routine that works and
stick to it regularly.
The most beloved of actions to Allah are those that are done
consistently even though they may seem minor. We all need
to be thankful for the good that we have done and also for the
evil we are able to abstain from. We also need to be thankful
for whatever level of steadfastness that we have.
Remember, Ramadan is a glimpse of the person that you can
be every single day.
said, O Abu Hurayrah, abstain from all prohibitions and you

will become the best worshiper.

physical and nutritional routine. Consuming the right types of food in the right amount

When it comes to Suhoor, it is difficult to decide

what are the best foods to eat. These healthy Suhoor

Ramadan. They include ingredients from the major five
food groups.
The difference between our fasting and that of the people of the Book is eating shortly before
dawn [Muslim].

very early to have Suhoor, sleep deprivation and dehydration
can lead to headaches.
Here are some tips on healthy fasting:
1) Dont skip Suhoor (pre-dawn meal).
2) Dont overeat during Iftar (dinner).
3) Avoid eating fried foods, salty foods and high-sugar foods.
4) Aim to drink 5-8 glasses of water between Iftar and Suhoor.

CHARITY
INTRODUCTION
The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) became more generous in Ramadan than he
already was. Ramadan is a time for generosity and giving. It is a time when we think about
those who have less than us as well as thank Allah for everything he has given us. Ramadan
is an honourable and blessed month, and the rewards for generosity are multiplied in it.
The upper hand is better than the lower hand, (i.e., he who gives
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, The best charity is that given in Ramadan.

(At-Tirmithi).
and charity till your last breath. (Bukhari and Muslim)
Abu Hurairah (RadiallaahuAnhu) reported Allahs Messenger (Peace be upon him) as
5) Do not count the charity you give: Spend in charity and do
saying: Charity does not in any way decrease the wealth and the servant who forgives, Allah
not keep count for then Allah will also keep count in giving you
provision. (Bukhari and Muslim)
charity is better than him who takes it). One should start giving first
to his dependents (Bukhari, Vol. 2, Hadith 508)
4) Not to delay giving of charity nor show lethargy or negligence in

people). (Muslim)

5 principles of giving
Visit the sick.
To be able to enjoy Allah Taalas tremendous rewards for

every act of charity that we do or give, we need to observe the
following teachings:
As you are fasting donate

your lunch / coffee money
to a charity.
1) Charity must be done sincerely for the pleasure of Allah

Taala and not out of riya (show off) to gain praise or recognition
from others.
2) Charity must be from halal (lawful) source: Abu Hurairah
(RadiallaahuAnhu) narrated that Allahs Messenger (Peace be upon
him) said, If one gives in charity what equals one date-fruit from
the honestly earned money, and Allah accepts only the honestly
earned money, Allah takes it in His Right (hand). And then,
enlarges its reward for that person (who has given it), as anyone of
you brings up his baby horse, so much so that it becomes as big as
a mountain. (Bukhari, Vol. 2, Hadith 491)
3) Begin charity with your dependents: Hakim ibn Hizam narrated
Good conduct, even if its

a simple thank you/ good
day to your bus driver in
the morning.
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and an act of worship.

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said pay zakat out of your
property, for truly it is a purifier which purifies you, and be kind to
your relatives and acknowledge the rights of the poor, neighbours
and beggars

in your home.
what will he do? He said, He should work with his hands and
Invite your neighbours

people further asked, If he cannot do even that? He replied,
Provide food for Iftar at a

local foodbank
Every Muslim has to give in charity. The people asked, O Allahs

Messenger (Peace be upon him)! If someone has nothing to give,
benefit himself and also give in charity (from what he earns). The
Then he should help the needy who appeal for help. Then the
people asked, If he cannot do that? He replied,Then he should
perform all that is good and keep away from all that is evil and this
will be regarded as charitable deeds. (Bukhari Vol. 2, Hadith 524)

TIPS
Spend some
time to gain an
understanding of
the lessons behind
Allahs words.
TARAWEEH TIPS
FINISHING QURAN TIPS
Tip 1) Read an English translation of the Quran every

day. Usually in Taraweeh prayers the Imam covers 1 Juz
and a bit of Quran every night. Spend some time to gain
an understanding of the lessons behind shared through
Allahs words.
The Quran has approximately 600 pages. If you divide it on 30 days, that is 20 pages a day.
But, if you divide it through 5 prayers a day
You only need to read 4 pages after every prayer in Ramadan.
Is this not possible for you? Then follow the tips below!
Tip 2) Do not overfill your stomach at Iftar otherwise you

will become lazy and sleepy for Taraweeh. Instead, eat your
blessed food in small portions during and after Iftar.
Dont be overwhelmed
For some, as much as they aspire to complete the recitation
of the Quran during Ramadan, the number of pages or the
length of the Quran overwhelms them. Remove I cant from
your vocabulary and eliminate negative thinking.
Tip 3) Avoid eating strong odour foods and gaseous drinks

during Iftar. You know why!
Tip 4) Avoid slouching or lying down after Iftar as you tend to
not get back up.
Tip 5) If you are praying Taraweeh in your home it is nice
to light a candle and turn the lights off. This creates a nice
focused and peaceful atmosphere.
Tip 6) Make sure all your work is taken care of before you start
your Taraweeh prayers as this will ensure your mind is clear
and at peace when praying in the night.
Tip 7) Dress in your nicest and most comfortable clothes and
wear perfume.
Tip 8) Do dua before Taraweeh that Allah increases
your concentration.
Tip 9) Thank the Imam(s) for leading all the prayers and buy
them a small personal gift from yourself for their efforts.
One of the best

times at which
to recite Quran, is
after Suhoor.
Plan ahead
Structure a realistic plan, around your work hours, of how to
complete the recitation of Quran within the month by dividing
each Juz up per day. Draw up this personal plan, review it
constantly, and put it into action!
Seize the Moment
One of the best times at which to recite Quran, is after Suhoor.
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked Allah to bless our
Ummah in the early hours, and you will also be more likely to
memorise ayahs at this time.
Other Tips!
Hold your quran up
Make dua to Allah
Dont be slouching
when reading
19
Have a quran reading corner/

room/dedicated space
Read together with someone in
your house beside each other etc

LAYLAT AL-QADR
Preparing for The Night of Power: Laylat al-Qadr

Allahs Messenger (Peace be upon him) used to practice Itikaaf in the last ten nights and
would say: Seek out Lailatul-Qadr in the (odd nights) of the last ten days of Ramadhan.
[Bukhari, Muslim]
Verily! We have sent it (Quran) down in the Night of Decree (Lailatul-Qadr). And what will make
you know what the Night of Decree is? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
Therein descend the angels and the Rooh (i.e. Gabriel) by Allaahs Permission with all Decrees,
Peace! Until the appearance of dawn. (Al-Qadr 97: 1-5)
Points to Consider in the Worship Plan
Any good act such

as charity during
Laylatul Qadr is
rewarded like you
have done it for
over 83 years
4) Give charity: Any good act such as charity during Laylatul

Qadr is rewarded like you have done it for over 83 years
5) Complete all tasks beforehand: This way, we are free
to worship during the 10 nights without being distracted by
worldly tasks.
6) No time wasting: There will be indeed an utter loss and
regret for those of us who waste these blessed 10 nights.
7) Making life changes: We should make the necessary
changes to improve ourselves as Muslims and what better time
to make such changes than during these blessed 10 nights
where we can change our lives forever.
1) Remain in Itikaf: The best way of catching the blessed

night is to remain in Itikaf, which both men and women can
do. If you cant manage 10 nights then do as many as you can!
2) Worship throughout all the 10 nights: As Ramadan can
be 29 or 30 days Laylat al-Qadr can be any of the last 10 nights
in Ramadan.
3) Best dua of the last 10 nights: Allahumma innaka
afuwwun, tuhibbul-afwa, fafu anni (O Allah, You
are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive
me). [At-Tirmidhi].

1) Recite the Eid Takbeer from Maghrib of the last day of
fasting till the Eid Prayer
Allaahu Akbar Allaahu Akbar Laa ilaaha illallaah Allaahu Akbar,

Allahu Akbar, Walillaahil hamd
It is highly recommended to fast six days of the month of Shawwal, as this is a meritorious
act which results in abundant reward. However, it is not required to fast six days
continuously without any interruption. One can fast according to convenience any time
during the month.
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) is reported to have said, Whoever fasts the month of
Ramadan, and then follows it up by (fasting) six days of Shawwal, it is as though he has
fasted the whole year. (Reported by Muslim)
Allah is Great, Allah is Great, there is no God but Allah is Great,

Allah is Great, to him belongs all Praise

How does say one say goodbye to someone they love? You will only see them once a year.
There is no guarantee that you will meet again next year. With a heavy heart and holding
back the tears as you watch them leave, you silently whisper Until next year, InshaAllah.
That my dear brothers and sisters is how we feel when we say goodbye to the blessed
month of Ramadan.
Then you are left to fend yourself for the next 11 months. A feeling of dread, emptiness
and fear starts to seep in. Questions start to swirl in your head: What now? How do you
