Normally all the acts that are recommended during the normal days are also recommended during the month of Ramadhaan except those acts which break the fast but there are specific acts which have been recommended by the Prophet especially during the month of Ramadhaan and some acts and some acts are encouraged more during the month of Ramadhaan and there are many of them. I will try and list as many as I can.
The first is having Suhoor, you should not neglect the Suhoor
No. 2 is having Suhoor as late as possible just before the break of dawn.
Third is having an early Iftaar, as early as possible just after sunset.
The fourth is having dates and water when you break the fast.
Fifth is saying the recommended duas after you break the fast and
The sixth is it is that when you break the fast it is preferable that you invite other people especially the poor people.
And these 6 InshaAllah we will discuss tomorrow.
The other things which are recommended by the Prophet is
No. 1 that you should do as many good deeds as possible during the month of Ramadhaan
No. 2 we should be more generous during the month of Ramadhaan
No. 3 that if someone tries to provoke you, you should not get angry but you should sat “I am fasting, I am fasting”
No.4 we should use the Siwaak i.e. the tooth stick
No.5 that if possible we should perform Umrah during the month of Ramadhaan
No. 6 we should try and acquire as much knowledge as possible, read the Qur’an along with the translation, you have to read the Hadith, read other Islamic books
No. 7 we have to attend as many Islamic programmes as possible, lectures, seminars to increase our Islamic knowledge.
No. 8 we should watch Islamic programmes may be on the video, watch Islamic cassettes, hear Islamic audiotapes of scholars so that we increase our knowledge
No. 9 we have to be happy throughout the day. We should not look gloomy
No. 10 we should do ‘Husne Suluk’ with other people
No. 11 we should be extra good to our family
No. 12 we should do ‘Tafaqur’ that means ponder and think on it and
No. 13 is that we should see to it that we try and forgive people’s faults
And there are other acts which the Prophet also recommended which InshaAllah we will be dealing in detail in the other days. For example the Prophet said that wee should especially be careful that all our compulsory Salaah we should offer in congregation as far as possible in the Mosque.
No. 2 is we should offer as much as Sunnah Salaah, as much as Nawafil.
No. 3 we should supplicate as much as possible to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala
No. 4 we should ask for forgiveness because this is the month of forgiveness
No. 5 we should recite as much Qur’an as possible
No. 6 we should offer Taraweeh
No. 7 we should especially in the last 10 days we should do
Qiyaam ul Layl
No. 8 we should do I’tiqaaf in the last 10 days if possible and
No. 9 we should give Zakaat if we have not given
No. 10 is that we should do our own self improvement as much as possible
No. 11 Seeking Layl Atul Qadr
No. 12 is Islaah of the other Muslim brothers and
No. 13 is Da’wah to the non-Muslims
So these in short are the 32 topics which I have listed which are especially recommended in the month of Ramadhaan.
