Preparing for Ramadan is a significant spiritual journey that can be enriched by following the steps of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). As the holy month approaches, it is essential to engage in self-reflection and increase acts of worship, echoing the Prophet’s practice of intensifying his devotion during this time. This includes establishing a routine of daily prayers, reading the Quran, and performing additional acts of charity, which the Prophet emphasised as vital during Ramadan. Additionally, seeking forgiveness for past transgressions and making sincere intentions to improve oneself aligns with the Prophet’s teachings about renewal and repentance.
