Don’t wait for Ramadan to begin before you decide who you want to be in it. Start preparing today, spiritually, mentally, and physically.
What do you want to achieve this Ramadan? Whatever your goals are, write them down, plan for them, and ask Allah for sincerity and strength.
I just heard a story of a Daee (caller to Allah) who was preparing a program for his masjid this coming Ramadan. He had everything planned out, lessons, events, and reminders, but he recently passed away before Ramadan arrived. Inshallah that planning will be written for him as righteous deeds.
Every good intention is recorded, even if you never live to see it through, as Imam Ahmad advised his son:
يا بني انوِ الخير فإنك لا تزال بخير ما نويت الخير
“My son, intend good, for you will remain in goodness as long as you intend good.”
So always plan and intend goodness.
Even if your life ends before your plans begin, the reward will be written.
Start now. Intend good. Plan for your best Ramadan yet.
