1. Pause the binge-watching<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nYou might be trying to make time pass by faster, but there are better Ramadan activities<\/a> to do than watching new shows. Instead, carve out time for reading the Quran and making extra duas and prayers. The shows will still be there after Ramadan ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. End the backbiting<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nFasting is more than just abstaining from eating and drinking. It\u2019s also about ending bad habits like backbiting, gossiping, and spreading rumors. Keep your tongue focused on dhikr (remembrance of the Creator).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Don\u2019t overeat at iftar<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nRamadan is the season of fasting<\/a>, not feasting. Keep it simple. Enjoy your iftar but remember too much food can distract you from worship. (And lead to indigestion) <\/p>\n\n\n\n4. End the grudges<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nRamadan is a great time to forgive others, especially family members. Don\u2019t hold any animosity in your heart during the month of mercy. Forgive and seek your reward from God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Don\u2019t oversleep<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIt might seem tempting to sleep most of the daylight hours, but you might miss out on the blessings of the fasting hours. We are all for a good power nap, but make sure you don\u2019t miss prayer times or waste away the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
