10 Important Checklists for Ramadan

Ramadan is one of the major blessings in the life of a Muslim. Majority of us anxiously wait for the rain of mercy during this blessed month and we get extra reward for each and every deed we do in Ramadan. But how often do we have that feeling that we could have done more deeds in Ramadan. Maybe prayed few more rakats or did more zikar of Allah Almighty or read few more surahs of Holy Quran?

In case you go through such feelings then congratulations, you have landed in right place. This Ramadan let us be amongst those successful people who not only think high but also work towards achieving those goals. Want to pray for nafl? Want to do more dhikar of Allah Almighty or want to read more Quran? Let’s plan for it.

Remember, Allah doesn’t change the condition of a person until they change what is in themselves 
{Surah Ar-Rad 13: Ayaah 11}
