10 Great Goals to Set for This Ramadan
1. Eat, drink and be moderate
Let's try to stick to the Prophetic rule on eating: fill our stomachs with one-third food, one-third
water and one-third breathing space, even in Ramadan.
2. Give 100 yen a day in charity...or 500 yen or more
The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was always generous but even more so
in Ramadan. Whatever you can give, which is calculated is our intention.
3. Read one chapter of the Quran
Quran a day and try to finish it during Ramadan.
Find and make your special time to read Quran. And use your travel time to campus on the train or
bus to read even only 5 minutes.
4. Go to Tarawih prayers
Praying alone is wonderful, but doing it in congregation is fantastic. The community spirit is part of
Ramadan's blessings.
5. Attend the Tarawih prayer in which the recitation of the Quran will be finished
Some masjid or communities have the habit to finish Quran during Tarawih prayer.
6. Stop swearing and/or backbiting – with a special box
Get a box and every time you catch yourself swearing or backbiting put some money in it. It could
be a buck or less. At the end of the month send the money to a charity or buy a gift for the person
whom you've backbitten the most against.
7. Call/email your relatives
Strengthening ties with family members and keeping in touch with friends is part of our way of life
and an act Allah is very pleased with. This Ramadan, call family and friends or at least email them.
8. Go on a technology diet
Avoid checking personal email and surfing the web too frequently during your fast.
9. Memorize 4 new Surahs
Try to memorize one new Surah a week. Start off with a short, easy one.
10. Forgive everyone who has hurt you
Let go of the anger and pain this Ramadan and forgive those who have hurt you.
