As-salamu 'Aleykum!!
I've got a long list that I reaaaally want to do, that I didn't get to do the previous years. But now school is out
! And Insha'allah, things will work out this time.
I'm actually Looking for this one masjid that we(some sisters and I) passed by before, Which is probably the ONLY masjid built like a Masjid in this town. I want to do my taraaweehs there, Insha'allah
But I still can't find where it was located and I don't even know the name of the Masjid- So I'll be basically "masjid haunting"
P,s: Thanks "Likeali4life" for the list, we should keep that in mind Insha'allah.

Assalamua'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,
I meant to share a hadeeth that I read last Sya'aban about how the companions radiyallahu anhum used to be very keen when Ramadhaan is near and how they have "prepared" themselves even since the month of Syaaban. Its the same anology when one is going out for war, he has to make sure that he is well-prepared to face any hardships, difficulties in the battle - the same goes for Ramadhaan.
And when Ramadhaan is about to end, they (radiyallahu anhum) weep because the abundance of virtue, blessings and rahmaat offered during Ramadhaan is not offer on any other months. MashaAllaah. Have we ever weep when its the end of Ramadhaan? In contrast, we actually feel kind of excited because Syawaal is getting near and that we cant just wait to celebrate Eid, isnt it? About the hadeeth, since I dont have much time now, couldnt find the source of it. InshaAllaah will post it soon.
Brothers and sisters, lets take heed and struggle starting from now to gain the HUGE value and rahmaat Allaah will shower upon us on the Blessed month of Ramadhaan. Take this month to purify our soul, cleanse our heart and ask forgiveness from Allaah and also from the people around us - including those who we may not have meet in real world (frankly, lets just say to the people here in TTI).
I just hope that in this coming Ramadhaan, there'll be less arguments in this forum and that inshaAllaah, we'll focus more on increasing our Ibaadah to Allaah subhanahu wa Taa'ala.
Use this Ramadhaan to the best we can to become a better Muslim, increase our knowledge in the deen and to be nearer to Allaah (taqqarub ila Allaah). We never know, if we'll have the chance to feel and fast on next year's Ramadhaan.
A reminder to myself first and foremost.
May we be among those who will be forgiven and among those of the Soliheen. Ameen Ameen Ameen.
Wa'alaykummusalam wa rahmatullah.

Assalaamu alaikum,
I am not really doing anything in particular to prepare for Ramadan :shymuslima1: But hopefully get in to the habit of learning about how the Sahaba prepared for it. Sister Aisya al-Humaira please do share that Hadith.
JazakaAllaah khair sister for the wonderful thread!

Apparently our military is not so "non-Muslim" after all. Alhamdulillah!
I think the sister was trying to convey something else.
Perhaps this ruling will make it clear : http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/14004/

This will be my first Ramadan and I am so EXCITED!! Alhamdulillah. I have started what I am now calling my pre game ( which is fasting every thursday Insha Allah so I can get the hang of fasting). I can't wait to go to the Masjid and break fast with my sisters. Insha Allah it will be so nice to be around other muslims. Wow I am so geeked out about Ramadan.

Salaamalaykum sister sarahlou,
That's great.. Congratulations ! Alhamdulillah. Fasting for the first time is definitely something that you remember for a long time.
Here's a comprehensive thread about Ramadan by one of our moderator sisters :
70 Matters Related to Fasting (Ramadhan)
And remember to make lots & lots of dua before you break your fast.
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said "Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (SWT)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler." [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih]
The prophet (SAW) declared, 'Three men whose dua is never rejected (by Allah) are: the fasting person until he breaks his fast (in another narration, when he breaks fast), the just ruler and the one who is oppressed.'[Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi - Hasan]
Wasalaamalaykum waa rahmatullahi
