๐ In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
๐ Nine common mistakes in Ramadan we mustn't make,
To attain more rewards as we fast for Allah's sake:
One: Being eager to fast but too lazy to pray,
Waking up for Suhoor while one's prayers are delayed.
Try to ensure all of Allah's Commands are obeyed.
~•~
Two: Pausing major sins, like zina and backbiting,
And when it's Eid, one returns to their evil-doings.
Do your best to reform for a valid repentance.
Three: Not caring about one's niyyah before fasting.
Actions are nothing if they lack sincere intention.
~•~
Four: Reading the Noble Qur'an without reflection,
Aiming to read many times without understanding.
Understand Allah's Words so your faith can be strengthened.
Five: Not praying Taraweeh at all, as it's "tiring".
Learn Islam. Good deeds are easy when you've got wisdom.
~•~
Six: Asking Allah for your needs while you've abandoned
Purposely your relatives and blocked lots of Muslims.
Say Du'a with a pure heart. Forgive. Ditch resentment.
Seven: Losing rewards through complaints and impatience.
Humbly fast for Allah without loudly complaining.
~•~
Eight: Spending most hours sleeping so hunger's forgotten.
Recall the battle of Badr, how the Muslims won,
And strive to do more good deeds for Allah with patience.
Nine: Being very wasteful when eating and drinking.
To serving Allah, not your greed, give more importance.
~•~
Ramadan, a noble month that comes in a year once,
Shouldn't be taken for granted, dear fellow Muslim.
From those who returned to Allah before this season
Take lessons to hasten your Tawbah, self-improvement,
And wise preparation, to meet Allah whilst smiling.
~•~
Cleanse your soul and pardon all Muslims for Allah's sake,
Even if with some you don't always communicate.
Fix your niyyah at night, intend to fast the next day,
So you're with Muslims fasting in case you wake up late.
Seek Allah's Forgiveness if ever mistakes are made.

๐ Abdullah Ibn Amr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Fasting and the Qur'an will intercede for the servant on the Day of Resurrection. Fasting will say: 'O Rabb (Allah the Almighty), I prevented him from food and drink during the day, so let me intercede for him.' The Qur'an will say: 'O Rabb (Allah the Almighty), I prevented him from sleeping during the night, so let me intercede for him.' Thus, they will both intercede for him."
