ASAK :)
Often, many Muslims will make a goal to read the entire Quran by the end of Ramadan, or to read a good portion of the Tafsir...etc. Another idea is to memorize a Surah. It could be a few short Surahs, or a fairly large one. The important point is to use this blessed time to read and memorize Quran, to increase our treasure chest. I refer to the surahs we have memorized as treasure, and our memorizing mind as the chest. It's a simple enough analogy.
At the masjid I went to this evening, a Quran Memorization Contest was announced. According to age level, for children under 7 years old the Surah was: Surat-ad-Duha, for kids 7-12: Surat-Al-Ghashiyah, and for teens 13-17: Surat-al-Jumaa. There was another Surah for adults over the age of 17 but I can't recall it. Anyway, insha' Allah I have decided to memorize Surat-al-Jumaa. Obviously, kids aged 7-12 who have already memorized Surat-ad-Duha(and there are so many kids I know who are well beyond that Surah) wouldn't just recite that Surah but move on to a higher level.
Just wanted to share one of my Ramadan commitments! I would love to hear about any of the goals you have set for yourself this Ramadan! Remember you can always comment anonymously if you would prefer to.
Happy Ramadan!
