Ramadan Worship Guide — How to Make Ramadan Valuable & Gain Salvation

Ramadan is the most blessed month in Islam. It is the month of mercy, forgiveness, and salvation from Hellfire. A Muslim should try to spend every moment of this month in worship and good deeds.

Men should perform obligatory prayers in congregation, while women should pray on time at home. Sunnah prayers, recitation of the Qur’an, voluntary prayers, Taraweeh, charity, and good character should become part of daily life.

Bad habits like lying, hatred, useless talk, wasting time, and sinful gatherings must be avoided. Fasts should never be missed without a valid Islamic reason.

Below are important deeds that make Ramadan successful.
