Preparation for Ramadan:
The most beneficial diets for Ramadan and it’s preparation
How are you preparing for Ramadan?
The Companions of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم used to prepare for Ramadan six months in advance. So, if we really want to make the best of this Ramadan, then we need to prepare for it now.
How will the fasting be Beneficial and what impact will it have on the health?
Fasting during Ramadan can improve one’s health, but only if done in the proper manner. But if done incorrectly, it can cause more harm than good.
Prepare your body in advance
It is recommended that those who are planning to fast can start training their bodies already to adjust. For instance, skipping snacks and even fasting a few days before Ramadan is recommended to make an easy transition to Ramadan.
Voluntary Fast days
Before Ramadan, take up some voluntary fast days. This can help a great deal as it’ll give a true picture of what’s yet to come. This can also help you to make up for what you missed (if any) previously.
When to fast in advance
Shabaan—is the prime time to start fasting those extra fasts or making up your missed fasts from last Ramadan. Fast the White Days—13th, 14th and 15th of each Islamic month
Fast Mondays and Thursdays. Like the saying goes- practice makes perfect.
From Hadith
Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said, ‘Oh Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting in any other month like you fast in Shabaan.’ He said, ‘That is a month to which people do not pay attention, between Rajab and Ramadan, and it is a month in which deeds are lifted up to the Lord of the Worlds. I like for my deeds to be lifted up when I am fasting.’” (Narrated by al-Nasaa)
