[2:185] "Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. GOD wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation."


I called for a meeting yesterday evening @ my place. The members present were DH, my bil , DZ and myself. We sat down and and planned our programmes. I even set down some rules for this Ramadan. My precious DZ was busy playing with her toys when we were sat down on the carpet discussing seriously.

Rule no 1
To get up for Sehr every morning. Wait till fajr prayers done before resuming to slumberland.

Rule no 2
Not to miss any prayers. All prayers to be on time. Inshallah.

Rule no 3
No TV, music except for Barney cartoons for DZ :D (oops I forgot to mention this rule to my bil, I wonder what his reaction will be?)

Rule no 4
Instead of listening to songs, recite the Quran.

Rule no 5
To keep fast till the end, inshallah. Bro in-law has not fast for the whole 30 days and I hope this year he keeps them all, inshallah. DH missed 2 days of fast last year cos he was not well. He used to not fast for all 30 days back in his hometown but after he came Sg, he has been keeping all his fast, alhamdulilah.

I have asked help from dh and bil to do some cleaning in the house, esp those lights, fans, windows, store room before Ramadan. I told him I will be incharge of washing curtains, sofa cushions, kitchen etc. BIL suggested we wait till on the eve of eid and I told him nope. We will start as soon as possible and do it slowly one at a time. It will be tiring to do all these work while keeping fast. He agreed and while we were discussing all these, my dh was in full concentration, watching cricket on tv. But no worries, I am sure he reads my blog. So dh, this post is for you

My plan for this ramadan :
To start reading the tafsir and continue till I complete the Quran, Inshallah. I know it is not easy as I have started doing it and everytime I feel like to recite the Quran, I open my tafsir book instead.
