How can you use the month of Ramadān to be a better you?

In this episode we discuss how Allah (God) has blessed the month of Ramadān, making it easier for us to improve ourselves.

We see that by deeply reflecting on ourselves, we can use this month to form new good habits that can stay with us even after Ramadān has come to an end.

We all think of Ramadān as a month of fasting, but is that all it's about?

In this episode we look at the true purpose behind this amazing month. And we see that Ramadān is the God given opportunity to make important changes in your life.

In this episode I give a brief personal account of my connection with the Qur'ān. I reflect on how we can all find ways to helps ourselves on this important and soul satisfying journey.

With only a few days left until Ramadan starts, do you have a plan in place? Have you decided what goals you want to accomplish?

In this episode we look at how making realistic and achievable goals, can be the best way to be productive. We reflect on the power of dua (prayer) that we all have at our fingertips. And how putting trust in Allah (God) to answer your duas, you can make the most of your Ramadan.

Why do you cry?

For most of us it's usually something important that will make us emotional.

In this episode we look at the reasons why the best of all examples , the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) , used to cry.

We see that when we improve our relationship with Allah (God), then our hearts will soften. That those whose hearts are soft will cry out of their love of, and hope in Allah. And that it is this characteristic that can keep us in the path leading to Paradise.

We all know that life is never always going to be a bed of roses. 

In this episode we look at the constant struggle that every believer goes through to live a life that's pleasing to Allah (God). We look at ways to help ourselves and others, when the difficulties and doubts get too much and the struggle to remain in the straight path feels impossible.

Do you check your intention before you do something?

In this episode we discuss how, by attaching good intentions to everything we do, we can boost the reward that we receive from Allah (God)

We all want to be successful, but so many of us feel uncertain whether we will ever reach those goals that we've set for ourselves.

In this episode we look at how, by knowing Allah (God) and understanding who He is and what He is capable of, we will be motivated to aim high and not give in to self doubt.

We would all like to think that we are excited about the approach of Ramadan, but sometimes even this most special month can make us feel nervous.

Will we get the most out of the time?

In this episode we look at how our thought patterns can affect our physical and spiritual preparation and we discuss the benefits of mentally preparing ourselves to get the most out of Ramadan

Many times people will judge us not just by what we say, but how we say it. In this episode we look at some of the beautiful characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). We see that gentleness and kindness are crucial to the character of every Muslim and that if we want Allah (God) to be kind to us, we need to treat all His creation with mercy and kindness too.
