A quick checklist for the month of Ramadan
* Try to recite some Holy Quran after every Prayer. In fact if you read 3-4 pages after every prayer you can easily finish the entire Quran in Ramadan!
* Study the Tafseer (commentary) every morning.
* Invite a person you are not very close with or your relatives to your home for Iftaar, at least once a week. You will notice the blessings in your relationships!
* Bring life to your family! Everyday, try to conclude the fast with your family and spend some quality time together to understand each other better.
* Give gifts on eid to at least 5 people: 2 to your family members, 2 to your good friends, and 1 to a person whom you love purely for the sake of Allah.
* Make commitment to join Islamic study circles to learn more about Islam and improve your own life.
* Donate generously to the Masjid, Islamic organizations, and any where people are in need or oppressed.
"Because Ramadan, is a month of sharing!"
* Share month of Ramadan and its teachings of peace and patience with your neighbors.
* Sleep little, eat little! Make sure you do not defeat the purpose of fasting by over-indulging in food and being lazy.
* Seek the rare and oft-neglected rewards of the night better than 1000 months.
* Weep in private for the forgiveness of your sins: Ramadan is the month of forgiveness and Allah's Mercy! It's never too late.
* Learn to control your tongue and lower your gaze. Remember the Prophet's (AS) warning that lying, backbiting, and a lustful gaze all violate the Ramadan fast!
