Continuation of Ramadan Posts

Asalamualikum. Sorry for taking so long to get the next post out. Well, here's the next post on Ramadan:

Ramadan is a very good opportunity to focus on improving your Islam; to focus without distractions.

You can work on ridding of bad habits and developing good ones;
Bad Habits:
  1. Impatience
  2. Dishonesty
  3. High Temper
Good Habits:
  1. Tolerance
  2. Kindness
  3. Generosity
Set goals for Yourself:
Examples:
  1. Read at least 5 Pages of the Quran a day
  2. Memorize these two surahs before the month is over
  3. Visit the masjid at least once a week
  4. Pray Taraweeh at least five times a week
___
As we know, we fast to sympathize with those around the world who have little or no food and are suffering(Support Islamic Relief!).
In this month, focus attention on strengthening your bond with Allah(SWT), and on increasing our devotion and worship.
Going back to the concept of not eating nor drinking in Ramadan.
Allah(SWT) wants us to practice our self-restraint, so to make sure it is our minds that control our body, not the other way around.
Let us Insha' allah keep the habits and such we develop in Ramadan as part of our character, not just for one month, but for our entire lives.
