Shaykh Sa’d ash-Shathree said:
Thus, among the ways to welcome the month of Ramadhaan is to prepare your time and arrange a schedule in which you use your time in obedience to Allaah ﷻ.
This is a time for suhoor, and this is a time for iftaar, and this is a time for performing the taraaweeh prayer, and this is a time for reading the Qur.aan.
So, arrange your schedule to include various types of acts of worship.
Similarly, among the types of acts of worship with which we can welcome the month of Ramadhaan is to prepare our intentions – so that we may be among the sincere during the month of Ramadhaan.
In this noble month, [when] you eat at the time of iftaar and the time of suhoor, you should intend by that to draw closer to Allaah ﷻ.
Your sleep, by which your body rests so that you can perform acts of worship of Allaah, should also be an act through which you seek closeness to the Lord of Might and Majesty.
Your coming and going, your sitting – you should make all of these actions acts of obedience to Allaah ﷻ, because you are using them as a means to strengthen your body for the obedience of the Lord of Might and Majesty.
