Let's do a month of #RamadanChallenge.
Everyday, I will give you one small, simple but impactful challenge for you to accept and do it on the same day.
I will not preach something I didn't do, so we're together in this.
Are you up for it?
Come back to this thread everyday.

Day 1.
Offer help to someone (parents, mosque community, housemate etc) to prepare the food for iftar tonight.
As simple as to help put the plate on the table, if you don't know how to cook.
Small act, but it will put a smile on them for working hard to prepare our food.

Day 2.
Donate some money to any charity institution or needy people that you found, as little as RM1.
(Not to those asking for fund in social media, because there will be another challenge for that)
Because I want you to physically feel the joy of giving to people who need it.

Day 3.
During your iftar until sahur, do not drink any sweet beverages e.g. cordial, milk tea or anything.
You can break your fast with sweet bite (e.g. dates) yes, but drink only plain water (hot/warm/cold) after that.
Challenge your body to cut off from sugar. You can do it!

Day 4.
Whenever you go to bazaar or any food stall today, pay for someone without they know it, for the same thing as what you buy.
E.g. buy nasi ayam but pay double.
Tell the seller that you want to pay for someone who come after you.
Give a special gift to a stranger

Day 5.
Spend 15 minutes today to read Quran. Make sure it's 15 minutes straight in one go.
This is more fair than using the concept of "how many pages to read."
Doesn't matter which ayat, but it's better the one you're not familiar with. Otherwise, it would not be a challenge.

"Thank you for helping with my work, pal."
