Today is the 6th day of Ramadhan ,1425.I divide this Ramadhan into five equal parts of six days each to keep track of what I planned to do.By end of the day today, 20% of the Ramadan "special offer" is gone.
So it is a good time to check what we have done compared to what we had planned to do or what we should be doing in this Ramadhan al-Mubarak! It is good if we could keep a scoreboard to measure our personal performance as well as to keep on improving our ibadah so that we are not wasting our time. Time and Ramadhan waits for no man or woman.
As an example,if we plan to read the whole Qur'an within this month, we must now be reading Surah al-Maaidah by now. If not, we have to allocate more time.If we cannnot read the whole Qur'an,at least we should be reading it everyday...
Fasting in the month of Ramadhan is a reallly special form of ibadah.Every moment while we are fasting, we are in the state of ibadah-obeying the command of Allah swt. This state of being is a form of obedience, hence it is a part of worship.No other ibadah other than Haj takes more than half a day. That is the reason why supplications of muslims/muslimahs who are fasting will be granted by Allah swt,InsyaAllah.
May our fast be accepted as our sincere ibadah to Allah.
