Thank you for this reminder.
Jazakallahu khaeran.

Alhamdullah for this month Ramadan.

[quote author=Apholaby post=121985937]The first few days of Ramadan are tricky. Follow these counter-tricks to survive it.

1. If you want to keep your appetite high for sahuur, don't eat to your fill during iftoor. The more iftoor you eat, ceteris paribus, the less sahuur will be appealing to your body, vice versa.

2. The best time to do an 'ibaadah is when it comes to your mind that it's time for it. Believe me time for each 'ibaadah passes like a rocket! Procrastination switches off 'ibaadah mode.

3. Read the Qur-aan only to understand better what you are reading, not to finish looking through. We don't want: alamlamla-mlamalamalamaldanhdy (verse 1). Wa-kaana ahmaldnagncdmalma-alamal-kaaldndbjalldm (verse 2).

4. Do not sleep (re oju die) close to the time of iftoor. You may meet 'omi isanwo' alone in some households if you wake up late. It's not 'ika' (being mean to you). It's sustainable consumption that makes the other members of the household who are awake to finish it all.

5. Eat not too heavy not too light food for sahuur or eat a mixture of both. Eating the former only makes you offload all immediately after sahuur sleep. Eating the latter, well, you know by yourself because you are a witness over your body.

6. When you feel tired or exhausted, don't lie down and press phone. Get a cold shower (not hot o) and take as long as your body demands, find a cool place to absorb some breeze without wiping the leftover moisture on your body and pack your 'ibaadatic activities to where it's cooler. You'll be active for longer. It's sunnah too.

7. Don't underestimate making du'aa for things you want from Allaah at the time of breaking your fast. It is also a period between adhaan and iqoomah. Many people forget these du'aa fast-trackers. Others don't care about them.

8. Attending tafseer sessions after 'asr till iftoor has no match. No other 'ibaadah between those two periods takes less effort and gets you distracted from the worldly affairs than it.

9. Wake people too, most people sleep close to sahuur (chai social media, omo ale nio o). Believe me, missing sahuur is a faster's nightmare (e ma biinu eyin oni oyinbo). You may need your neighbour to not miss it some days.

10. If you are married and live with your spouse, be careful. O gbo, be ki ni....? Be careful so that you won't be looking for fatwaa that exonerates you from the hun-hun that you did. Remember, we won't know about it but when we want to search a related issue on Shaykh Google, it suggests what you asked Shaykh G to us also. Unfortunately, what you did is not what we are looking for.

I pray 🙏 to Almighty Allah to accept it as a part of Ibadah

Come Seun, I have to derail this thread for this reason;
I wanted to ask a question here and I got faced with some Islamic oath or something, more like agreeing to TACs of a merchant site.

Why must I do that?

If I must do that, why don't you do same protocols for Christian related posts?

Don't you know you're indirectly placing premium on one religion over another?

Why don't you convert nairaland to an Islamic forum and see how you'll loose a huge dose of the traffic that enables your financial benefits overnight?

No let devil use you destroy wetin you dey try build o. Make you get sense sha.

Thanks brother

Sha please dey brush your teeth because of mouth odour now that you've started your ramadan

Please, I have posted here sometimes ago that I am sincerely interested in meeting a devoted Muslim sister, well, It seems there are no single Muslim sister any longer. I am becoming tired looking for Muslim single sister to marry. I know I am over due for this for now, I could not progress career wise because there is no focus again as marriage is my priority.
Though, there was a sister that message me through one of my post here but due to genotype and blood group incompatibility, we could not go further.
I base in Lagos, I am public servant with Lagos State government.
Any sister from any tribe between 24- 30years will be appreciated
I am AS, interested in AA genotype
I need a niqab sister or anyone that dress modestly in the public.
She must be a caring, God fearing and supportive sister.
