Ramadan Prep #2 – Understand the Maqaasid
One of the reasons many of us go through Ramadan ritually is because we do not understand the Maqaasid (goals, wisdoms and objectives) of the Month of Ramadan and the various acts of worship associated with it.
Ramadan is supposed to be an annual recharge of our Imaan, increase of our Taqwa and reconnection with Allah. We must make this our goal and shape our worship in Ramadan around achieving this goal.
This can be achieved through:
1. Fasting from sin and things that waste time
2. Praying the night prayer with concentration, understanding and connecting with Allah
3. Reciting the Qur’an with understanding and reflection and using it as an opportunity to reconnect with the Qur’an.
