I have the intention to observe a fast of the month of Ramadaan.

An Intention: every fast has to have a separate intention. Intention means inclination of the heart. It is not necessary to state it with the tongue. However it is better to read this duaa at night( Sehri time)

O Allah, I keep fast for You, so forgive my future and past sins.

DO’S OF RAMADAAN
·                                 Do Read “La illaha illallah” abundantly

·                                 Do beg for Jannah and protection from Jahannam

·                                 Do repent for all sins and be constant in seeking Allah’s  forgiveness(pardon)

·                                 Do observe the Fard Fast

·                                 Do remain occupied in the remembrance of Allah

·                                 Do increase the recitation of the Glorious Qur’an

·                                 Do be tolerant and maintain happiness with everyone

·                                 Do bring serenity, respect and honour in all actions

·                                 Do make humbleness prevalent in body, heart and soul

·                                 Do be punctual with all Fard salaah, as well as Taraweeh with  congregation

·                                 Do exercise patience
