🔵 Nine Excellent Recommendations from the Late Ayatollah Keshmiri for the Blessed Month of Ramadan:
🔻 Avoid Quantity, Focus on Quality
1- "Do not be quantity-oriented; be quality-conscious! Do not just rush through reciting verses and prayers; strive to understand and digest them! Consume a modest amount of food, and make it nourishing for your soul. Our biggest problem lies in the superficial approach to religion and Sharia. Reflect on the years past, how far did excessive recitation take you?"
At the beginning of Ramadan, make a sincere intention to fast solely for Allah; for Allah alone! Practice the etiquettes of fasting as long as you are spirited:
🔻 Cultivate Reflection
2- Dedicate mysterious moments of your fasting day to the highest form of worship, and that is "reflection"! Have a secluded conversation with yourself and your Creator. Contemplate the nature of your relationship with the Almighty; may doors of knowledge open before you.
🔻 Prolonged Prostration
3- One of the most significant acts of worship, especially in Ramadan, is a highly recommended practice by the Prophet, and that is "extended prostration." Only God and His chosen ones know the downpour of mercy and blessings during the prostration of devotion. Make sure to have a prolonged prostration every day.
🔻 Home-Centric Iftar
4- If possible, break your fast at home; avoid breaking it at mosques. Let the blessings of iftar and the moment of answered prayers belong to your family and your home. Moreover, indulge in some bargaining during iftar! "Bargaining means playfulness." Playfully negotiate with God during iftar! Since you've fasted for Him and His generosity is vast, bring the first bite close to your mouth, but don't eat it! Pray; meaning express to God: "If You grant my request, I'll break my fast!" This state works miracles!
🔻 Enduring Legacy in the Divine Banquet
5- The secret to lasting in the divine feast of Ramadan is the alchemy of "good manners." Interact with your children, relatives, and friends with the elixir of good manners and kindness. Your moment of anger is the moment of your expulsion from this divine gathering!
🔻 The Dream Ship of Ramadan sails to the shore of "Tears" riding the waves! Especially in this month, beseech God for the magical tears and weeping during the mysterious moments of pre-dawn prayers.
🔻 Set Your Goal for Laylat al-Qadr
7- From the beginning of Ramadan, your goal should be "Laylat al-Qadr" (the Night of Power), the soul of Ramadan. There's much to say about this, but let's strive to experience Laylat al-Qadr within the month, not just in one night!
🔻 This month is the month of "Spring of the Quran."
In this Quranic spring, select one verse daily and alternately recite and contemplate around it until iftar. Hopefully, the warmth of iftar will unveil the beauty of that verse for you!
🔻 Throughout the month of Ramadan, your attention should not be severed from the true faster and the perfect human, Imam Mahdi.
