In fact, Ramadan is much more than abstaining from food for the duration of the fasting period. This is a month where every noble act and good deeds are valued much more than the other 11 months. So let us not miss the bus and let this month pass by without us being specially blessed and rewarded.
We need to get ready for this month with a elaborate Do List for during the month of Ramadan and also make a Fix List for us after we bid farewell to this holy month. If we do not come out cleansed after fasting, we will sure be among the losers.
Let us listen to Dr. Omar Suleiman who explains how to get ready for the Ramadan and how to make best out it:
Omar Suleiman is an American Muslim scholar, civil rights activist, public speaker, and author. He is the founding president of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research and an adjunct professor of Islamic studies and member of the Ethics Center Advisory Board at Southern Methodist University.
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.
وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
That is our duty to convey only to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى) help us understand Qur'ān and help us to act upon the commandments of Allah contained therein. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.
May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.

Read out all article. However, did not watch relevant UTube. You and Amercan Muslim Scholar are doing the best. I am a true Believer (By the grace of Almighty Allah) and wish to be benefited by Allah not only during this month but also in other 11 months. I am in practice to read out whole Quran during this month for refreshing me. Therefore, as usual, In my do list, the same is my priority. Today, I have completed 04 Parahs and reason behind 04 Parahs speedily is this that last 03 days of Ramadan are reserved for family and children. I also engaged my two children grand son and daughter and they will also follow me during this holy month. TY
