The Blessing of reaching #Ramadan 
Read this statement of our Prophet Muhammad peace be on him.
One of the most poweful statements of our Beloved about the status of those who fast & struggle to conquer their ego in this blessed month.
This always motivates me!

How do we make this a time of Spiritual Refinement?
One of the reasons the 5 pillars binds all Muslims is that no matter what...you connect back to God through them
No matter how far youve been from God the entire year, maybe your life, this month is a chance. We fast for God: for clarity in purpose
The 5 pillars each erase sins

When you commit to your daily *minimum* there are massive benefits:
1. Youre not overwhelmed & have a plan, so you get it done
2. Aim always to do minimum but sometimes youll have more time or in the mood to do more. Capitalize on it!
You did 1 juz? Go for 2, 3, etc

3 types of forgiveness this #Ramadan 
1. "Whoever fasts Ramadan
2. "Whoever stands in the night in prayer in Ramadan
3. "Whoever stands in the night in prayer on night of power (Laylat Al Qadr)
... w faith in God & hoping to be rewarded, the sins theyve done will be forgiven."

2. "Whoever stands in the night in prayer in Ramadan
3. "Whoever stands in the night in prayer on night of power (Laylat Al Qadr)

God is kind & merciful where He rewards those who cannot fast or pray due to sickness, pregnancy, etc the same reward as the one who fasts or prays.
This is a month of intentions.
This is a month of intentions.
"Whoever intends to do night prayer (tahajjud) but falls asleep and misses it, Allah rewards him for it, and his sleep is a gift for him" (Nasa'i & Abu Dawud).
ما من امرئٍ تكون له صلاة بليل، فغلبه عليها نوم ، إلا كُتب له أجر صلاته، وكان نومه صدقةً عليه
ما من امرئٍ تكون له صلاة بليل، فغلبه عليها نوم ، إلا كُتب له أجر صلاته، وكان نومه صدقةً عليه
Whoever prays Isha in congregation (with family or in your house) will have the reward of praying half the night & fajr in congregation is the reward of having prayed the whole night.
"By Allah, if the dead were asked to make one wish, they would've wished for another day to have in #Ramadan
"

Part of #RamadanPrep is ... stop responding to every person that triggers you, happens to be wrong, or is toxic or divisive.
We feed into our own misery by airing the worst examples of character by responding to them.

Of the Objectives of #Ramadan 
is to rid out hearts of the want for praise, attention, & recognition.
A human being naturally wants others to notice them.
Part of #Ramadan
& why its sk reward? No one sees the sincerity of your fast & devotions but God
Piety isnt a performance

This #Ramadan 
battle your ego & want to publicize your acts of devotion: your reciting Quran, your prayer at night, your dua, charity, etc
Let the only audience be God & let your contentment be in His appreciation not of others.

Showing off deeds is as subtle as
'Omg tarawih was long'
'Making all this iftar was worth it'
'Having finished your quran for the day #goals '
Publicizing your deeds makes you battle intentions, & there is nothing in this world more difficult in conquering than your ego & self.

Make what you do be consistent even if little.
Make what you do count, not count what you do.
Enjoy #Ramadan
Daily consistency is the key
It sets you up for victory
