'Abdullah Bin 'Amir (ra) reported that the Prophet (Saw) said: There are two acts that no Muslim worshiper does consistently but that he will enter Jannah. And though they are easy, only a few people perform them:
After each of the (five) prayers, say tasbih ten times, tahmid ten times, and takbir ten times. This makes one hundred fifty (daily extolments) by tongue, and one thousand five hundred (good deeds) in the scale Upon going to bed, say takbir thirty four times, tahmid thirty three times and tasbih thirty three times. This makes one hundred (extolments) by tongue, and one thousand (good deeds) in the scale
The Prophet (saw) then added: Satan comes to a person while he is ready to sleep, and makes him fall asleep before he finishes saying them; and he comes to him after prayer, and reminds him of something he needs to do instead of saying them.

Ze Checklist :)
How is your health? Do you need to make up any fasts from the previous Ramadan(s)?
(Consider getting a checkup in preparation for Ramadan and schedule it in) (If so schedule them in on the next page)
If you are in North America this Ramadan will be during the summer, besides making up missed fasts also attempt to do voluntary fasts to build your stamina. (Mondays and Thursdays are good options and so is the month of Shaban)
'A'ishah said, "I never saw the Messenger of Allah fasting for an entire month except in Ramadan, and I never saw him fast more than he did in Sha'ban." [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Habits start from somewhere, try doing ONE additional act of worship EVERYDAY and slowly build on it. Take the 2500 good deeds in the previous page for example its simple and short. Start with doing it for fajr for one day and no more, the next day do it for fajr and dhuhr and thats it. The third day do it for fajr, dhuhr and asr and continue this slow pace until you are doing it for every prayer and when you go to bed. After all we are trying to build good habits and maintain the deeds for life :)
"The most beloved deeds to Allah (swt) are the most constant, even if they are little. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Schedule ONE qiyam per week to start getting used to it and slowly increase the frequency to your level of comfort.
Abu Umamah, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said: "I urge you to perform qiyam at night, because it was the consistent way of the righteous people who preceded you, it is a means of coming closer to Your Lord, it is a means of expiating your wrongdoings, and it is a restraint against sinning. [At-Tirmithi, At-Tabarani and others verified to be hasan by Al-Albani]
Have bad habits you are trying to get rid of? (the sooner you begin the less you have to do during Ramadan)
Abu Huraira radiyallahu 'anhu related that the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam said: If a person does not avoid false talk and false conduct during Siyam, then Allah does not care if he abstains from food and drink [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Complete a day of fast from technology where you dont log on to social networks or email. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Clean your whole house BEFORE Ramadan so its clean, easier to maintain, manageable and it frees you up for more acts of worship. Also the shayateen like to frequent filthy areas so dont give them a chance. Consider doing your Eid and grocery shopping as well as laundry in Shaban. Once sister cooked enough for herself and family during the last week of Shaban and froze the food in meal ready containers so all she had to do during Ramadan was to thaw them.
(rice doesnt freeze well so just make a fresh batch every day.)
Start an iftar fund, that way you can easily sponsor one in your local masjid or in your home.
The Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam said: "Whoever gives food to a fasting person with which to break his fast, will have a reward equal to his, without it detracting in the slightest from the reward of the fasting person." [At-Tirmithi]
Automate your sadaqah and start it during Ramadan, make sure you always have a minimum balance to avoid overdraft fees. In this manner the sadaqah is automatically being taken out of your account and providing steady funding to a non profit all year round and you are bringing in the hasanat!
It is narrated on the authority of Amirul Mu'minin, Abu Hafs 'Umar bin al-Khattab, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, say: "Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated." [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Compile a dua list and add to it as the days, months go by before Ramadan and start asking for all the things on that list during iftar time and ESPECIALLY during the last 10 nights of Ramadan.
The invocation of one who fasts will be answered each time he breaks his fast (at night)" [Ibn Majah]
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Quran 97:3 Note: A thousand months are equivalent to 83 years and 4 months.
Start your Quran
Ibn Abbas radiyallahu 'anhu reported that the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam made the Zakat al-Fitr obligatory for the purpose of: purifying our fasting from vain talk and shameful mistakes, to make arrangements for the poor and the needy for food and clothing (for the festival of Eid). [Abu Dawud & Ibn Majah]
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam has said, "Whoever paid it (Zakat al-Fitr) before Salatul Eid, it is acceptable Zakat before Allah. Whoever paid it after Salat-ul-Eid, it is just a charity." The companion of the Prophet (ra) used to pay it a few days earlier. [Al-Bukhari]

He said, 'That is a month to which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadan, and it is a month in which deeds are lifted up to the Lord of the Worlds. I like for my deeds to be lifted up when I am fasting.'" (Narrated by al-Nasa'i).

Juwayriyah (ra) reported that the Prophet (saw) once left her house after the morning prayer, while she was sitting in her prayer place extolling Allah (swt). He returned in the mid-morning and found her still doing the same. He asked her, Are you still in the same sitting since I left you? She replied, Yes. He said: Indeed, I said after I left you four statements, three times. If you weigh them against what you have said this morning, they would outweigh it: Exalted be Allah as much as is the sum of His creation; exalted be Allah to the extent that would please Him; exalted be Allah as much as is the weight of His Throne; exalted be Allah as much as is the extent of His words.

Ps. Make sure you ALWAYS have a minimum balance to avoid overdrafts.

Abu Huraira radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that The Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam said, "When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained."
o o o o o
In a well-known hadith, the Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) said that during Ramadan devils are locked up. Why, then, do we still have bad thoughts? It is a common question. Scholars say that these thoughts originate from our own souls battered by Satanic whisperings and devices implanted in us. Another blessing of Ramadan now becomes apparent. It is a time to see what has happened to our soul, what condition it is in, and take notice of our shortcomings: jealousy, envy, overzealous competition, love of gossip, and the rest. During Ramadan, these traits become clear, and a clear enemy is easier to defeat than a slinking one. -UNKNOWN Revisit Ze Checklist on page 3 and see how much you have progressed. Increase in recitation of the Qur'an. If possible, complete a minimum of 1 part to daily so as to make 1 whole complete recital of the Holy Qur'an during Ramadan. Dont forget to eat suhoor
The Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam said: "Take (the meal of) suhoor because there is blessing in it." [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Ibn 'Umar radiyallahu 'anhu, stated that when the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam broke his fast, would say: "Dhahaba al-zama'u, wa'btallat al-'urooqu, wa thabat al-ajru, insha Allah" (Thirst is gone, veins are flowing again, and the reward is certain, if Allah wills)." [Abu Dawood]
DONT over eat as it will potentially make you sick and it will interfere with your worship. DO feed others as much as you can.
This is not a comprehensive list and a person of knowledge should be contacted if you encounter problems with your fast or you are unsure. 1. Intercourse 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
2. Reaching climax or ejaculating without intercourse. 3. Intentionally vomiting 4. Menstruation and bleeding following childbirth 5. INTENTIONALLY eating and drinking
"If he forgets, and eats and drinks, then let him complete his fast, for Allah has fed him and given him to drink." [Bukhari]
Abu Huraira related that the Prophet (saw) said: Whoever fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. Whoever prays during the nights in Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. And he who passes Lailat al-Qadr in prayer with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. [Bukhari, Muslim]

List 10 sadaqah actions for the next 10 days (and schedule them in on the corresponding day)
Abu Hurairah, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said: "On every person's joints or small bones (i.e. fingers and toes), there is sadaqah (charity) every day the sun rises. Doing justice between two people is sadaqah; assisting a man to mount his animal, or lifting up his belongings onto it is sadaqah; a good word is sadaqah; every step you take towards prayer is sadaqah; and removing harmful things from pathways is sadaqah."

In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan, the Prophet came and addressed us and said, I was informed of (the date of the Night of Qadr) but I was caused to forget it; so search for it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. (In the dream) I saw myself prostrating in mud and water (as a sign). So, whoever was in ltikaf with me should return to it with me (for another 10-days period), and

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: The fast and the Qur'an are two intercessors for the servant of Allah on the Day of Resurrection. The fast will say, O Lord, I prevented him from his food and desires during the day. Let me intercede for him. The Qur'an will say, I prevented him from sleeping at night. Let me intercede for him. And their intercession will be accepted. [Ahmad]

List 10 sadaqah actions for the next 10 days (and schedule them in on the corresponding day)
Abu Hurairah, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said: "On every person's joints or small bones (i.e. fingers and toes), there is sadaqah (charity) every day the sun rises. Doing justice between two people is sadaqah; assisting a man to mount his animal, or lifting up his belongings onto it is sadaqah; a good word is sadaqah; every step you take towards prayer is sadaqah; and removing harmful things from pathways is sadaqah." [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

Narrated Abu Salama: Once I went to Abu- Sa'id Al-Khudri and asked him, "Won't you come with us to the date-palm trees to have a talk?" So Abu Said went out and I asked him, "Tell me what you heard from the Prophet about the Night of Qadr." Abu Said replied, "Once Allah's Apostle performed I'tikaf (seclusion) on the first ten days of the month of Ramadan and we did the same with him. Gabriel came to him and said, 'The night you are looking for is ahead of you.' So the Prophet performed the I'tikaf in the middle (second) ten days of the month of Ramadan and we too performed I'tikaf with him. Gabriel came to him and said, 'The night which you are looking for is ahead of you.' In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan the Prophet delivered a sermon saying, 'Whoever has performed I'tikaf with me should continue it. I have been shown the Night of "Qadr", but have forgotten its date, but it is in the odd nights of the last ten nights. I saw in my dream that I was prostrating in mud and water.' In those days the roof of the mosque was made of branches of date-palm trees. At that time the sky was clear and no cloud was visible, but suddenly a cloud came and it rained. The Prophet led us in the prayer and I saw the traces of mud on the forehead and on the nose of Allah's Apostle. So it was the confirmation of that dream."
[Bukhari]
Step 1: Go somewhere really beautiful, where no one can disturb you Step 2: Imagine Allah says to you, "Ask whatever you wish and I shall grant it to you." Think of everything good you would ask for from this life and the next. Step 3: After thinking of everything you can, sit down and write it out. Step 4: Pick 5 (or 50) things, your favorites, and consistently ask Allah for these 5 every night in the last ten. Your dua will be guaranteed to have landed on Laylatul-Qadr! How cool is that?
[Muhammad Alshareef]

Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn. [Al-Qadr 97: 1-5]

Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Seek it (Lailat-ul-Qadr) in the last (ten nights). If one among you shows slackness and weakness (in the earlier part of Ramadan), it should not be allowed to prevail upon him in the last week. [Bukhari]

Prophet Muhammad (saw) has said, "Whoever paid it (Zakat al-Fitr) before Salatul Eid, it is acceptable Zakat before Allah. Whoever paid it after Salat-ul-Eid, it is just a charity." The companion of the Prophet (ra) used to pay it a few days earlier. (Hadith: Bukhari)

The Prophet (SAW) 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)
It says in Nuzhat al-Mutaqin, the commentary on Imam Nawawi's Riyad al-Salihin (2/132), that, "Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it up with six from Shawwal, it is as though he has fasted all of time, because each day is equivalent to ten days, Whoever performs a good deed, he will have ten like it. So Ramadan would count as ten months and six days multiplied by ten would equal two months. It is best that one fast the six altogether and directly after the day of `Eid. <--THIS IS COMMENTARY

Juwayriyah (ra) reported that the Prophet (saw) once left her house after the morning prayer, while she was sitting in her prayer place extolling Allah (swt). He returned in the mid-morning and found her still doing the same. He asked her, Are you still in the same sitting since I left you? She replied, Yes. He said: Indeed, I said after I left you four statements, three times. If you weigh them against what you have said this morning, they would outweigh it: Exalted be Allah as much as is the sum of His creation; exalted be Allah to the extent that would please Him; exalted be Allah as much as is the weight of His Throne; exalted be Allah as much as is the extent of His words.

The night extends from sunset to dawn and can be divided in to three parts. The night extends from sunset to dawn, count the hours between those two and divide by 3. Abu Hurayrah (ra) reported that the Prophet (saw) said: Our Lord (swt) descends every night to the lowest heaven when only one third of the night has remained. He says, Who is there invoking Me, so that I may answer him? Who is there asking Me, so that I may give him? Who is there seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him? Recorded by al-Bukhari and
Muslim
Jabir (ra) reported that he heard the Prophet (saw) say: There is an hour of the night during which no Muslim person would happen to be asking Allah for a favor from this life or the hereafter, but that Allah grants it to him. And this is true EVERY night. Recorded by Muslim
(757) and Ahmad.
Aisha (ra) reported: Allahs Messenger (saw) use to sleep in the early part of the night, and wake up (for worship) during its last part. Recorded by al-Bukhari (1146), Muslim (739) and others.
Guidelines
1) Constancy. The most beloved deeds to Allah are the most constant, even if they are little. Al-Bukhari (6462) and Muslim (783) 2) Moderation. Take upon yourselves only deeds that you can (consistently) maintain, for, by Allah, Allah is never bored (i.e., never stops accepting your good deeds) until you are (by interrupting your heavy worship_. Bukhari (43) and Muslim (785) 3) Attentiveness. When one of you becomes sleepy while praying, let him lie down until sleep departs from him. Indeed, when one of you prays while he is sleepy, instead of seeking forgiveness, he might curse himself. Bukhari and Muslim.
If you found this planner beneficial consider making dua for me :) Ya Allah swt fill my progeny and I with eman, taqwa, sabr, sakeenah, wisdom, understanding and love for You, Your book and Your Messenger. Oh Allah, wash our hearts clean and white and seal our hearts so that it stays clean and white, without blemish until the day we meet You. AMEEN.
