Ramadan is a very special month for Muslims. During this holy month, they observe a strict daily fast from pre-dawn until sunset, and dedicate themselves to prayers and acts of kindness. During this special month, Muslims typically associate themselves with sharing, caring and making conscious efforts to consume healthy meals. During Ramadan, the day starts early so that people can eat a pre-fast meal before dawn. This meal, called Sahur, is important as it will keep them going through the day. The fast is broken at sundown with a meal called Iftar, often shared among family and friends. Muslims often include charity in Iftar as well, by sharing Iftar with members of the community.

KEY TIPS TO NOTE THIS RAMADAN
Here are some key tips to note as you journey through the holy month of Ramadan:
1. Ensure to stock up on necessities
Going without food for long periods of time can zap your energy, so less time spent on errands during the day equals energy saved. Therefore, stock up on necessities like food, groceries, Peak Milk and toiletries to sustain you for a while.
2. Plan your meals ahead of time
Meal preparation saves time, energy, and money. These three things cannot be overstated during the holy month – whether you are cooking for one or many, planning meals in advance will ensure Ramadan runs smoothly.
3. Get a physical examination
Fasting has an effect on the physical body, such as low blood sugar. It can also be harmful to people who have pre-existing health conditions. Consult a doctor ahead of time to ensure physical fitness.
4. Mentally prepare
Ramadan is a mental as well as a physical activity, and the abrupt change in routine can be difficult to adjust to at first. These few tips can help you mentally during this holy month of Ramadan.
– Read more, particularly the Quran.
– Journal daily.
– Make duas and practice them. 5. Motivate a friend
Some people may find it difficult to complete activities during the holy month than others, which may lead to slacking. Spend some time encouraging and checking in on a friend or family member who is struggling to keep up with Ramadan.
6. Make time in your schedule for charitable acts
As previously stated, sharing is a major tenet of Ramadan, and individuals or organisations participate in charitable activities in support of the less fortunate, such as food drives in mosques, donations to orphanages, and almsgiving. Consider adding charity to your list of holy month activities.
Finally, the success of any activity is heavily reliant on planning and preparation. So, which of these suggestions will you try first?
