Ramadan prep! Set Your Goals...now! Entering Ramadan without a plan for self-improvement usually means going through Ramadan without any solid changes. Start making your goals and plans from now. These goals should be for self-improvement and should have a permanent impact on your life. Deciding to grow a beard or wear hijab in Ramadan with the intention to stop on Eid day is not a good goal. We should be honest with ourselves in setting goals for permanent improvement with no intention to revert to our previous state. Some ideas of goals to set for Ramadan: 1. Give up a sinful habit that you've been having trouble letting go off 2. Start fulfilling an obligation that you've been neglecting 3. Add some recommended acts of worship to your daily habits 4. Complete reading or studying a specific book or course (perhaps in Tafseer) during the month 5. Improve your understanding of an area of Islam in which you are lacking Each of us know best what areas require improvement in our own lives. Be honest with yourself and set goals that will help you end Ramadan on a higher level of Taqwa.
