“….And whoever performs an obligatory act during it (Ramadan), he is like whoever performed seventy obligatory acts in other times.” (Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah)
As we already may know, Ramadan is the month of forgiveness and mercy and the time to become the best version of yourself to gain rewards from Allah. Therefore, we want to do simple tasks that can help us gain those rewards for this life and the Hereafter. This is the reason why in today’s article I would like to share with you 15 deeds that can help you to gain rewards and be spiritual in this blessed month.
Perform your obligatory prayers
As simple as it may sound, you must perform your obligatory prayers during Ramadan as it is a pillar of Islam and can give you rewards. So many people still don’t pray regularly during Ramadan, so In Sha Allah, we can change this as soon as possible.
Do Dhikr
Dhikr is the remembrance of Allah. It is important as we all must remember the most Merciful One and the One who has created us all. You can do this by reciting some Duas (like the ones on my website) or even by attempting to learn the 99 names of Allah.
Give to charity
Some people prefer to give Zakah during the month of Ramadan as it gives more rewards. If possible, try to give a little charity every day of Ramadan, and you could In Sha Allah be loved by the poor and Allah.
Pray in the mosque
Praying with the Ummah raises your spirits of Ramadan as we all are going through fasting and we can feel each other’s struggles of fasting. By praying in the mosque, you can talk to other Muslims, get Islamic advice and also motivate others to attend the mosque.
Pray in Laylatul Qadr
Laylatul Qadr falls in one of the odd nights in the last ten days of Ramadan. Since we don’t know the exact date, we must try to especially pray during the last 10 days of Ramadan, so our prayers fall on that day. All of your previous sins can be forgiven if you pray in Laylatul Qadr and you can gain huge rewards.
Exhibit good manners
Good manners are always important regardless of the time of year, religion, age or gender. During Ramadan, however, you should try your best to forgive others, be kind and prevent backbiting/swearing.
Do a Private Act of Worship
A Private Act of Worship is doing something for the sake of Allah and not telling anyone in order to gain the reward. Intentions are really important for all actions, especially in Islam. Sometimes, we subconsciously end up showing off our actions and we lose the reward for it. Therefore, we should try doing something like helping someone or saying Duas at our own time without telling anyone.
Read the Qur’an
Reading every letter of the Quran can give outstanding rewards. Imagine reading even two or three pages every day – it could change your scales for the Hereafter.
Feed a fasting person
“Whoever feeds the person who is breaking his fast, he will have his reward (for his fasting) without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person.” — Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Say your Salams
You can gain many rewards just for greeting your family members, relatives or any Muslim. By average, you can probably greet around 10 people every day.
Volunteer
Volunteering without anything in return could be amazing. You could tutor someone without pay, help someone, help in the mosque, the animal shelter…the list is endless.
Make others happy
Make others happy by smiling at them, complimenting them with sincerity or just thanking them for what they have done. The person could make Dua for you and you may gain rewards.
Perform I’tikaaf
I’tikaaf is a beautiful night of prayer, performing it will leave you feeling peaceful.
Spend time with your loved ones
Ramadan is a time to spend time with your loved ones, get closer and eat Iftar and Suhoor together. This can strengthen bonds.
Share your knowledge
Gain rewards by sharing good knowledge about topics such as the Prophets stories or whatever good you know (like this article).
