JazakAllaah khayr, actually my purpose of putting it a few weeks ahead of time were to create some discussions on what each brother and sister are doing to prepare themselves for Ramadhan. During Ramadhan, I'll use this thread as my mini- dairy and post articles/videos of khutbahs and such on Ramadhan.

I don't know :''(
It's the first time in my life that I wish that Ramadhan doesn't come yet astagfirullah... inshaALLAH I will feel different soon... before I was like having plans for Ramadan (religious plans) but this year I have zero motivation. :-(

I can only speak about my personal experience. Ramadhan can appear a difficult time and no doubt it is not fun and games particularly as it is now coming in summer. It remains after salaah the second most effective and life changing practical activity that I have come across. It is a practical exercise for improving our taqwah and when we complete it one realises how important it is to do it each year and the effect lasts for the rest of the year. My feeling about my faith and also closeness to Allah both gain substantial boost. I get an unknown strength from an unknown source to carry out the day without food and drink. I see how Allah makes things easy without taking them away and enhances the strength to deal with issues. It is a practical reality of Allah in a way only a Muslim of faith can realise.
