๐ Some tips to prepare oneself for Ramadan:
1] Review your knowledge about the virtues and importance of fasting in Ramadan. Read some articles from reliable sources or listen to Islamic lectures about why Muslims fast in Ramadan and how to be prepared for this blessed month.
2] Put in your heart and make the intention / niyyah that you eagerly look forward to fasting in Ramadan, not out of habit but to sincerely obey Allah's Command as a dedicated Muslim.
3] Look back on how you performed in the previous Ramadan and reflect on how you can
Inn-sha-Allah perform much better than before in this upcoming month.
4] Ensure that you have completed fasting all of your missed obligatory fasts.
5] If you habitually fast every other Monday and Thursday, continue doing so for Allah's sake particularly since it is still Sha'baan.
6] Prepare in advance your Ramadan schedule, Inn-sha-Allah with an aim to be more productive, focused and aware of which tasks need to be prioritized.
7] Sincerely from within, for Allah's sake, forgive every human being who has mistreated you in the past and, if you're strong enough, unblock all of the users who are currently on your lists of blocked users (on social media) - if doing so won't affect your overall well-being negatively.
Although you're not closely associated with some people anymore, it is recommended to maintain good manners with every soul whom Allah the Most Wise decrees you'd meet.
May Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala accept our good deeds, forgive all our mistakes, take us while He is Pleased with us, grant us guidance to what He and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam love and make us among the people of Jannatul Ferdaus with Allah's Mercy. Ameen.

O Allah, bring it over us with safety and faith, peace and Islam, and guidance to what our Rabb (Allah) loves and is pleased with. Our Rabb (Allah) and your Rabb is Allah." ["Allahu Akbar. Allahumma ahillahu 'alaynaa bil-amni wal Imaan, wa as-salaamati wa al-Islaam, wa at-tawfeequ limaa Tuhebbu wa Tardaa, Rabbunaa wa RabbukAllah. Ameen."]
