Assalamualaikum. Warahmatullahi wabarakatu my
fellow brothers and sisters and welcome to the second episode of
jannetty Jenna. This is your host notion.
And in today's episode, we are going to be going over a few
important tips that I find helpful.
The first thing that I want to say is don't burn out all of
your end users on the first few days trying to really work hard
in your goals. I know that with Ramadan
starting, it's a very exciting time and we all want to try our
best but know that if doing this will cause a burn out later on,
try to be more consistent because consistency over the
whole entire death is so much better than overachieving and
the first few days and then not having any motivation or driver
left to do anything later on. My second tip would be to pray
on time and try and really focus on the words that you're saying.
I know that. So many of us, don't know how to
speak Arabic. And we just reciting words that
we've memorized and I feel like it's just become so routine,
recite Surah, al-fatiha recited Allahu Akbar, it and over time,
the meaning of these words just really wither away because we
don't know what we're saying, we're simply saying what we've
memorized. What I would personally
recommend is to watch. Sear on Surah al-fatiha you are
going to be resetting a minimum of 20 times every single day
also watch at the field on the meaning of Allahu Akbar.
Because trust me, it means so much more than just the generic
definition of Allah is great. Also watch out the fear on the
meaning of subhana wa ta'ala and also super vulnerable.
Azim, of course, once you've done learning all of these, you
should go on two different shooters that, you know, you're
going to be reciting during prayer learning the true.
Meaning behind these phrases and pseudos is so much more
beneficial to us as we're going to be using them in every single
class that we are going to pray contemplating on the meaning of
what we're saying. While praying Salat, just makes
it so much more meaningful, as you know what you're saying and
you're not just saying memorize words in a language that you
don't understand piggybacking off of this.
My third tip is to pray prayers beside the daily 5.
That were obligated to, for example, that obvious had chewed
and Doha which I didn't even know that was a thing until
recently. There are so many other extra
pairs that we just don't know of and all it takes is a simple
Google search to find more out about them.
Use the That's your benefit. My fourth tip is to seek
forgiveness and a lot and make lots of.
Do I do this between the times of seafood and fudgy?
And then also the time right before?
If thought you're waiting from baklava Danza, common?
All the food is that right in front of you your hungriness is
literally at its peak. And instead of focusing on the
food and having thoughts of how good it's going to taste you,
put your hands together and make duaa to Allah.
You think him for everything he's done for you.
You ask for forgiveness, for all of your sins and you ask a looks
$1 for Mercy, while doing this. You forget the Hunger in your
body for the sake of Allah. Subhan Allah.
Imagine the amount of hustling you would get for that going on
to tip number five. I know a lot of us tend to get
very dehydrated. This I feel like is more of a
reminder for myself than, for anyone else because I do tend to
forget on drinking water. And then I get dehydrated, my
5th, dry, and I get tired. And I wonder why.
So, definitely reminder for myself more than anyone else,
what I would recommend for you to do is, first of all, don't
drink anything that has a lot of salt and then have a watermelon
at Food or anything else that has a high concentration of
water as for actually drinking water, I would recommend for you
to split it up into different parts.
I don't know about you but for me when I drink water, I just
tend to Chuck all of it down and that isn't really good for you
since your body isn't going to be able to retain anything, it's
just going straight through your body, have a glass when you
break your fast. And also throughout iftar, have
around two glasses from the time between Maghrib and Isha.
And then also another cup throughout is Chandra.
We then have two glasses throughout So Hood and then of
course, the infamous - chugging water right before fighter has
on, as if you're not going to have any water for another
month. Again, just make sure to sit on
the water and don't chug. So your body has enough time to
retain the nutrients from it. The next tip is getting enough
sleep, and I feel like this is something that so many of us
struggle with especially a students at this point.
I generally don't know if that's possible, but I'm going to try
my best with time management. Time management is so important
in, not getting off track on anything that you're going to be
doing. Try to plan out your day, plan
out different apps that you can take, for example, coming home.
And then praying so hard going to sleep right after and then
waking up. Let's just say 30 minutes before
us your prayers. So you can start on some
homework. Pray, I started do some avocado
and then you can also finish some work before helping your
parents. Make your thoughts about this
next month planning out. Your day is genuinely so
important, create a to-do list. Use your calendar app on your
phone it's their use. It plan out your day so that you
can get everything done and still go to implement of sleep,
which may not sound realistic for a lot of us.
You may need To catch up on some sleep throughout the weekends or
you may need to compromise on doing certain things throughout
the weeks and then save them for doing them simply on the
weekends. I know what I'm going to be
doing is picking up early so I can recite Quran every single
day and then I can have so hard pretty fragile and then get
ready for school. Definitely going to be taking my
showers at night rather than in the morning now because it just
takes away too long from you in the morning.
So if I get that out of the way at night, I know that I'm gonna
have more time to do things in the morning.
Another good thing to do is when you're in school actually focus
and try to get all of Work done inside of school, so that when
you get out, you can focus on Nevada, going to sleep at around
10 to 11 is also very important. I know, I shall comes late for a
lot of us and even if it does come early today, we have takes
so long to praise. So try to take all of these
things into account. As you plan your day.
I want to end this episode off by talking about our intentions.
I literally cannot repeat this enough.
It's in the first Hadith of soil.
Bihari, your intentions for any act, whether it's good or bad,
can change what you get for doing that.
So let's just say, you were giving a lot of Of money to
charity to help out the poor. But your intention for doing
this is to show off to other people to impress them.
So in this situation that has not the Good Deeds that you were
supposed to get for this act is instead going to earn your bad
Deeds, because it wasn't for the right intention.
Alternatively, the same thing can be said for doing a bad
deed, but having good intentions.
Please keep in mind what this following month that allows one
that loves you. Improving yourself is such an
important thing. This month is, yes, a dedication
towards fasting, but it's also a dedication towards the Quran
itself. Dedicated towards becoming
closer to Allah subhanaw taala. It's a month where we are
supposed to feed our soul inside of our bodies.
It's a month that Alice want. Allah has gifted us and truly.
There is no better month in the whole entire year, other than
Ramadan. I hope these tips help you and
getting closer to all the Samantha in the following month
because truly, what is more important than that.
