Do worship Allah. In this month, spend time for taking out the name of God. This will help you think good and also purify your soul. Many people prefer sleeping whole day till Iftar just to control their hunger. However, try to increase self-control and indulge in praying.
Don’t fast for dieting. This is a spiritual festival for the Muslims. Do not fast just to lose weight. Only if you want to pray Allah and purify your soul and heart, go for month long fasting.
Do celebrate the month with joy. Wear new clothes, try new dishes and distribute food and love to the needy. This will be rewarding.
Don’t overeat during Ramadan fasting. Many people stuff themselves thinking they can stay full whole day. Well, this can create some health problems. So, avoid over-eating. Eat healthy and good food that are not heavy on you or else you will feel lazy and lethargic.
