You know, it's really important that we start making minor

00:00:04 --> 00:00:11

adjustments in our lives to really prepare ourselves for Ramadan, and

00:00:11 --> 00:00:16

that we think really deeply about what we want to accomplish this

00:00:16 --> 00:00:20

Ramadan, and in addition to the acts of devotion, which are very

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

important. So for example, I want to pray Tara. We are every night,

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

and whatever you can do consistently is good. I know some

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

people are working. Some people might be very difficult. To pray

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

20 rakats, for example. Okay, then I'm going to pray eight

00:00:33 --> 00:00:37

consistently every night. For example. Whatever it is that you

00:00:37 --> 00:00:42

can do consistently, I'm going to read this much of the Quran. If

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

you struggle reading the Arabic, read the translation. The

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50

translation of Dr Muslim is very good, and try to listen, for

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54

example, to the Quran, whatever it may be. But in addition to those

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

kind of you know, checklist items, these are my action items. This is

00:00:58 --> 00:01:02

what I want to accomplish in Ramallah, to really think deeply

00:01:02 --> 00:01:07

about what you want to accomplish internally, the intentions that

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

you have entering Ramadan and what you're really seeking from Allah.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:15

Like to take the time to think about what am I seeking from

00:01:15 --> 00:01:19

Allah? Subhanho wa taala. What is it that I want when Ramadan is

00:01:19 --> 00:01:25

over? How do I want my heart to be? How do I want my state with

00:01:25 --> 00:01:30

Allah to be that I want to seek higher levels of nearness to him.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

I want in this Ramadan to be granted Allah subhanahu without

00:01:34 --> 00:01:39

his love. I want in this Ramadan to become a bit more patient.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:47

I want in this Ramadan to become more grateful to even think about

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

those goals as well. And so as Ramadan comes about, we really

00:01:51 --> 00:01:56

have to spend some focused time really preparing ourselves,

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

internally and externally as well.
