Go on a full 10 days I’tikaaf (or less perhaps if this is your first time or if commitments don’t permit)
- Take out your wallet and give the largest ONE donation you’ve ever given in your life to a charitable cause.
- Forgive that ONE person you said you’ll never ever forgive.
- Get to know a poor family and vow to sponsor them as long as you live.
- Arrange an Iftar at an orphanage
- Donate an important piece of asset you have (eg. land/property/farm) to Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) in the form of Waqf (endowment).
What will be your ONE SPECIAL good deed? Something that can make this Ramadan truly special. Think about it then take action!
Secondly, think of the ONE good deed that you promise yourself to continue doing after Ramadan. But this time you’ve got to actually do it!
Which one will it be?
Will it be praying tahajjud every night from now on?
Will it be fasting every Monday and Thursday or at least 3 days of the month each month?
Will it be praying in the mosque for every single salah?
Will it be reading one juz’ of Quran each day? (This is the one I’ve been promising myself I will do after every Ramadan but then the passion I had starts dwindling away as I start neglecting the Quran because I’m ‘busy’. Not this year though inshAllah!)
Will it be continually giving charity at least once a week?
Remember, “the most beloved of actions to Allah are the most consistent ones even if little in amount.” [Bukhari]
These good deeds should be a part and parcel of your life well after ramadan – so pick one and write it down and after Ramadan, check yourself to ensure consistently perform this good deed.

Solatlah sebelum anda disolatkan
Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.— Surat al-Anbyā 21:35
![ghazalaa:
[2:43] And establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].
[2:43] وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ](http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqfbi4SmeL1qb6lp7o1_500.png)
Beristiqamahlah
Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately and know that your deeds will not make you enter Paradise, and that the most beloved deed to Allah’s is the most regular and constant even though it were little. - Riwayat Bukhari

60 seconds :)
1. In one minute you can recite Surah al-Faatihah 3 times, reciting rapidly (yet clearly) - silently or aloud. The hasanahs one can gain, not to mention, the right Guidance from ALLAH, are incomparable rewards to anything we can get from this material world.
2. In one minute you can recite Surah al-Ikhlas (Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad) 20 times, reciting rapidly (yet clearly) - silently or aloud. Reciting it once is equivalent to one-third of The Qur’an. The rewards for this are well-known.
3. You can read one page of The Qur’an in one minute.
4. You can memorize a short Aayah from The Qur’an in one minute.
5. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god except ALLAH (SWT) alone with no partner; to Him be dominion and praise, and He is Able to do all things) – 20 times.
6. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praisebe to ALLAH (SWT)) 100 times to ask for forgiveness from ALLAH (SWT).
7. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allahi wa bi hamdihi Subhaan Allaahil-‘Azeem (Glory and praise be to ALLAH (SWT), glory be to ALLAH (SWT) the Almighty) 50 times. These are two phrases which are light on the lips, heavy in the balance and beloved to the Most Merciful, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.
8. The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALLAH (SWT) be upon him) said:”When I say ‘Subhaan-Allaah wa’l-hamdu Lillah, wa laa ilaah ill-Allaah,wa-allahu akbar (Glory be to ALLAH (SWT), praise be to ALLAH (SWT), there is no god except ALLAH (SWT), and ALLAH (SWT) is Most Great)’, this is more beloved to me than all that the sun rises upon.” (Narrated in Muslim). In one minute, you can say all of these words more than 18 times. These words are the most beloved words to ALLAH (SWT), the best of words, and they weigh heavily in the balance of good deeds, as was narrated in the saheeh ahaadeeth.
9. In one minute you can say, Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa Billaah (ther eis no strength and no power except with ALLAH (SWT)) more than 40 times. This is one of the treasures of Paradise, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.They are a means of putting up with difficulties and of aiming to achieve great things.
10. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-ALLAH (SWT) approximately 50 times. This is the greatest word, for it is the word of Tawheed, the good word,the word that stands firm.
