Asalaamu alaykum everyone, hope your all well

Since the holy month of Ramzaan is coming up very soon, I have decided to start a new topic 'Ramzaan Diary 2010'. I'm hoping that people will use this thread to discuss their feelings about the upcoming month.
This 'diary' isn't just for the weeks leading up to Ramzaan it's also open during the month so that if anyone wants to share how one of their days has gone they can feel free to do so. As well as this I'm hoping that at the end of the month we can look back and discuss whether or not we have achieved what we were hoping to and what we have learnt during the blessed month of Ramzaan.


My thoughts and feelings about Ramzaan:
I'm feeling really excited that this month has come around again and I am lucky enough to be around to reap the benefit. Sadly since last Ramzaan quite a few close relatives of mine have passed away so I'm thankful that Allah has granted me another Ramzaan.
I have managed to get ahead with my Uni work and I am working on my last assignment (which is in for the 9th Sept) and I am hoping to send it in before Ramzaan starts so that I can concentrate fully on dedicating my time to Salah and reading The Quran InshAllah.
I am hoping to make the Quran a daily part of my life during Ramzaan and hopefully when the month is over I will continue to read The Glorious Book.
I am also setting myself the goal of reading all the Salah including Tarweeh prayers.
Since this is the month of mercy, forgiveness and blessings I am also going around asking those who I have or may have hurt for forgiveness. I'm hoping to turn over a new leaf during Ramzaan and hopefully by the end of the month I will be a much more religious woman.
Please share you thoughts, feelings and any goals you have set yourself for Ramzaan.

Thank you

Masha'Allah, I think you summed up how majority of us are feeling.
This is the best time in the year and you are right Sabz, we should all be so greatful that Allah has given us another opportunity to benefit from such a Blessed Month...

One thing that I am also happy about is the way people come together and are so generous with everything, their money, their food and so on...it really feels like you are part of the Ummah which is great, and is somethin that we lack during the rest of the year. I love the way everyone is walking to the masjids together, the way people are caring to others that they don't know...all of that stuff.

Can you imagine what a pleasant place we would live in if we were all like this all year round?

Assalamu Alaikum Sabz & Madz,

I'm well Alhamdullilah, I hope you are too

For me, this Ramadan feels like it will be the best yet Inshallah.
Number one, it is all during my summer holidays, which means I can spend a lot more time with my family and Muslim friends.
Also I can pray all of the Tawareeha's without being tired for school the next day!
I do not have many Muslim friends at my school, so Inshallah, I would like to take this opportunity of Ramadan to meet new Muslims and spend time practising my Deen with others.
These past few weeks have been a bit of a rollar coaster! I went to Morocco, and have seen... various things, so now I know how many things we take for advantage. There has also been several close deaths, so Inshallah, I can pray for them this Ramdan. I would also like to repent my own sins, and Inshallah they will be exepted along with your du'as too. Ameen

My target for this year is Inshallah to keep ALL 30 fasts Wish me Luck!

May you all have a blessed Ramadan! ♥

Asslaamu Alaikum Madz
I can definately relate to the fact that everyone is so much more giving and there is a strong sense of brother (and sister!) hood

It would be great if we were so caring, forgiving and kind during the whole year, but sadly many people, after Ramzaan is over go back to being neglectful with Salah and there kindness goes out of the window too. I guess in the past I have been one of those people too But now I'm at a point in my life where I have (finally!) grown up (22 in November!) and studying for my degree has matured me so I'm looking to make the most of this month and begin a much more religious life Insha'Allah when it is over.

The one thing that saddens me which I forgot to add when I started this thread is when Ramzaan is over We just don't know whether we are going to be here when this month comes around again, and I always feel really upset. May Allah bless us all with many more Ramzaan months Insha'Allah

Asslaamu Alaikhum Humz
I'm not well actually but we'll leave that for another time
Your really lucky that you have the summer off and you can make the most of this Month Insha'Allah. I don't have the summer off (slave labour!) but I have managed to get waaaaaaay ahead with my work and I am finishing off my last assignment today (which doesn't need to be in for another 4 weeks lol) so I will be able to dedicate all my time to reading Salah and helping out with the cooking, cleaning etc Insha'Allah

I'm sure you'll be able to keep you 30 fasts Insha'Allah...but good luck anyway

What's the one thing you are hoping to carry on from Ramzaan?
I'm (hopefully) going to be making the Quran a part of my daily life. Even if I only read for 10 mins a day I will be making sure that once a day (at least) I will sit down, take the time to read (and understand) a few lines, of The Quran Insha'Allah

Great Ramzaan wishes for everyone

Assalamu Alaikum Sabz ♥

Oh dear dear dear, hope you get well soon Inshallah
Mashallah, that's a really good resolution, maybe I'll try that to.... Actually come to think of it, in Ramadan I always read Qur'an everyday, because at Taraweeh everyone takes a Qur'an and follows the Imam while praying ^^

What's the one thing you are hoping to carry on from Ramzaan?

Weeellll.... That's a tricky one to be quite honest. There area a lot of things I would like to improve over Ramadan and Inshallah carry on afterwards.

Erm... There is one big thing - I would like to start wearing Hijab sooner or later, and so I think I'm going to be practicing as much as I can this Ramadan - just to get comfortable with wearing it Inshallah, after Ramadan I will be able to carry on wearing it - maybe even permanently, who knows!
Secondly, I would like to make some more Muslim friends. Socialiing with other Brothers and Sisters actually has a positive affect on my Deen, so I think I'll arrange like big social Iftaari dinners or something Inshallah, I can carry that on by regularly keeping in touch with them...!
Last but not least, I would like to just practise little little things in my behaivour and personality. Like being patient, polite, not getting angry etc

Walaykum Salaam Humz <3
Thanks for the get well soon wishes
Your aims/targets sound great. Remember even if you don't get to carry them out (Insh'Allah you will but I'm just saying IF) you'll still get a reward for making the intention to carry out all those things.
The Hijab aim is a good one a tbh I personally think it will suit you
Making new Muslim friends is also another great idea...your full of them this morning what did you have for breakfast?
I think people tend to forget that as well as making and meeting friends in person, online places such as this website are also a great way to meet new people and start new friendships that can grow due to meeting in person.

Good Luck with all your aims hope your successful in achieving them and may Allah reward you for having great intentions Insha'Allah

Assalamu Alaikum,

Crunchy Nut! Always the best brain stimulation Haha
Anyway, thanks, Inshallah may Allah (swt) give you a helping hand through Ramadan aswell...!
You think?! Nawh, that's encouraging
I know. Personally, I find it easier to make friends over the net, but it isn't the most successful way. I mean yeah, I've made friends with you and stuff, but yeah - that's another subject

Ramadan Mubarak btw everyone!
