Some Things to Avoid During the Month of Ramadan

Submitted by icna-admin on Tue, 09/09/2008 - 8:09am
Here is a list of some things to avoid during the blessed month of Ramadan.  It is in no way a complete list, so fee free to share your thoughts on what else to add.
  1. Avoid/reduce watching TV; instead spend more time reading the Quran and other Islamic literature. 
  2. Avoid looking at unlawful pictures, whether magazines, department store catalogs or otherwise. 
  3. Avoid wasting free time, instead spend it in the Masjid, Islamic organizations and make that a daily habit. 
  4. If you smoke, try to reduce daily usage; otherwise Ramadan will be very difficult for you to observe.  
  5. If you have friends who do not practice the teaching of Islam, try to avoid socializing with them. 
  6. If you travel a lot on business, try to do more local business, so you can be more closer to your family and community. 
  7. If you are used to staying up till midnight, try to go to bed earlier, so that you will be able to wake up early for Salat al-Fajr and Tahajjud prayers as well.
