8. Learn Self Control In Ramadan

Ramadan is a special time for Muslims around the world, as it is a month of fasting and spiritual reflection. During this time, it is important to learn self-control to make the most of the spiritual benefits of the month. Here are some tips to help you learn self-control during Ramadan:

Set your intention: Before the start of Ramadan, it is important to set your intention and make a commitment to observe the fast with sincerity and to gain control on our Nafs (Soul) for the entire month. This will help you stay focused and motivated throughout the month.

Understand Objectives: The whole concept of worship in Ramadan is to make you do things which are not normal in daily routine, Like

·         Getting up one hour before Dawn and pray Tahajjud (Night Prayers),

·         Eating Suhoor (Early pre-dawn meal) in the morning hours,

·         Abstaining from meals throughout the day,

·         Keeping oneself away from getting intimate with spouses,

·         Eating breakfast at sunset,

·         Offer Taraweeh prayers in the night when we plan to relax.

Be patient: Learning self-control takes time and patience. Be kind and compassionate with yourself and remember that it is a journey.

By implementing these tips, you can learn self-control during Ramadan and make the most of the spiritual benefits of the month.

May Allah help us in getting better control of our Nafs. Aameen
