Re: How to make upcoming month of Ramdhan more productive
Take some vitamin and mineral supplements to keep you perked up but start them at least one week before the start of Ramadan. That will help you fight your caffeine addiction and sleepiness as for hunger that is the whole purpose of fasting to feel hunger and thirst .

Re: How to make upcoming month of Ramdhan more productive
ohhhh, i didnt consider GS, i only been on it a few weeks. Is it bad for ramadan?
Re: How to make upcoming month of Ramdhan more productive
nah its not but one shud be spending more time in ibadat than to waste over gs:bummer:
If you helping others on GS in resolving there problems and issues it is an abadat too.
Contrary to common belief Abadat does not necessarily mean sitting on a musalah/ja namaz/prayer rug and chanting name of Allah(swt).
Being Muslim is a 24x7x365 job , if each second of your life is spent according to will of Allah it is Abadat. If a Muslims is sleeping with the intention that sleep will make him/her fresh for next few hours to spend those few hours helping others and performing mandatory abadat then even that sleep will be counted as abadat.
So if you are flooding with the intention that it will help you freshin up for next round of being a good Muslim that will be counted as abadat. Just kidding I got carried away.
nah from last years experience i feel i wasted more time here. 2 ghantay kaheen nahi jatay just to check out threads and besides that u come over threads where the talk isnt suitable .
This will be my first Ramazan on GS , so let us see how it goes.
Re: How to make upcoming month of Ramdhan more productive
i think eating healthy & moderately + having a good sleep( from ishaa till sahar) routine would help too & little activity during the day ................ so that one won't slow down
Re: How to make upcoming month of Ramdhan more productive
The month of fasting is about subduing the nafs into a state of submission. A wisdom in Taraweeh prayer is that it delays the sleep, waking up for sahoor delays the sleep, not eating makes one hungry, and puts a block to talking profusely, extra prayer adds to God-consciousness and curbs the mind from thinking evil.
Plentiful food, sleep and extra time are a recipe for the indulgence of evil. Except for those who have subdued their nafs. I am not one of them, inshaAllah am trying.
Read Surah Al-Asr
We are chasing the clock ... we have no time. But Ramadan will not take that away from us. For sure those who pray regularly, operate in truth and exercise patience for them "time" will not be a dimension that is being contended with. It will work for them. Not my words ... The Qur'an.
So don't be afraid of Ramadan causing issues of time loss ... if done properly your time will have more barakah ... and we should pray for that too. Try to get a lot of work done in the mornings and if possible start earlier.
Taking what bro Mirch said into account he is right that hunger and thirst are supposed to be felt, but I would extend that and claim that sleepiness is also intended.
