Okay, having scared everyone off now ( ), here are my personal objectives:
at least pray twice a day, every day. i know for some this is no big deal. Some of you Masha’Allah pray five times a day. i hope that continues Insha’Allah. i figure, for myself, i will try to at least to do Fajr and Isha on time.
How to achieve this goal? Be better organized vis-a-vis my time. Plan things out ahead in advance and schedule my routine around the prayer timings, not the other way around which i always always do.
Finish the Quran in Arabic and English. Last year i started doing this but left the English because i felt it was too time-consuming. This year, Insha’Allah, i will do it in both Arabic and English and not give it up.
How to achieve this goal? Finish one paara every day, no matter what. i’ve found if you fall behind by even two days, then you really are left behind vis-a-vis the surahs…so it’s imp to stay on top every day.
obviously, keep as many rozas as i am able to and attend as many taraweehs as i am able to.
think no bad thoughts/don’t lie/don’t gossip
How to achieve this goal? This is going to be hard… but Insha’Allah i will try my hardest. Basically, have to keep reminding myself it’s Ramadan, i am fasting, keep my mouth shut. i think the hunger will help Insha’Allah. Less energy in body —> less energy to invest in useless things like gossiping
These are my humble, but important for me, goals.. Share your’s, folks.
although it’s brilliant to see many muslims doing lots and lots of ebadat during ramzan-ul-mubarak it would be gr8 if all of us could do the same for the other 11 months in the lunar calender
ofcourse this ^ doesn’t apply to all, some ppl r very steadfast and do ebadat-e-ilahi throughout the year constantly which is a tonic :k: whilst some tend to concentrate more in ramzan-ul-mubarak!!!

sigh :( i know.... This is one of my biggest faults. i never keep up the 'good' practices past Ramadan. :( :( :(
Folks, pls stick to the topic. I don't know why you want to go off on tangents. The spelling of Ramzaan/Ramadhan is now split into its own thread. Feel free to add your comments there. And OBL, your 'Ramzaan' objective also got moved there, so feel free to add your objective here (and just that).
Pray five times a day , I already do so inshAllah it wont be too hard.But will try to make sure I dont miss any due to lectures ,docs appointments etc.
Finish the Quran at least three times.Did twice last year.Memorize about ten Surahs- they say the best time to memorize Quran is during Ramadan.
No gossiping, no getting angry (hardest part) , and no wasting time on gs.
nadz, my biggest personal weakness is my impatience and my anger and my over emotionalness, i really really need to get a grip on myself…and i need to control my tongue…which gets out of control real fast when i am in a mad or angry mood
:S
thats going to be inshallah my jihad
and not to let depression overtake me no matter what
thats also going to be another one
another one is to be a better daughter and sister, right now i suck
and…yes…praying on time inshallah…and yes INSHALLAH completing the Quran as well…
and yes…not eating too much iftari
good luck on ur resolutions inshallah nadz may Allah swt help u and all of us aameen
My ramadam objective would be to pray all Namaz with proper concentration. I lack in concentration when i pray namaz and so lets hope insha'Allah i can fix that this Ramadan.
Sometimes I don't realize I do this but I tend to say "i'm hungry" so many times, which is not being the least bit considerate of my family and friends. I know some people try to focus on something else and me saying that ruines the whole purpose.
It would be nice to update this thread after Ramadan.
well i posted this already in Relationships, but here’s what i want to do this ramadan:
*i want to stop spending so much darn money
*i want to try praying more often. I’m not saying five times, hopefully ill work my way up to it, but as many as i can.
*This I feel is hte biggest and most important of all, for me at least: i want to develop “inner hijab.” i’ve had some trouble with it these last three months or so of wearing it and one of the reasons was that i felt i was only wearing a scarf on my head. while i realize ive made much progress over the last year, i still haven’t learned to control myself liek a real hijabi. So..that’s what i hope to accomplish this ramadan.
How come every one is after "finishing off" Quran? Leave the book alone. Rest of us needs it too.
Cmon! gs time is waste! I mean where would we all be without our dear gs. Anyway we miss you for the whole month. Do remember us in prayers.
Aren't we boasting a little?
[/QUOTE]
Im listing the facts.Since when was praying regulary anywhere near the category of boasting? Sheesh.Use some sense sometimes.
Nadia --- Iv got another.I also plan to finish the Quran in English too.
