As we approach the blessed month of Ramadan, it is essential for us to prepare ourselves spiritually, mentally, and physically. Ramadan is not just a month of fasting; it is a time for reflection, prayer, and drawing closer to Allah. In this talk, we will explore how to prepare for Ramadan by following the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

As-Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. We seek His guidance, mercy, and forgiveness. We bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His final messenger. Today, I want to discuss an important topic: "Training Your Nafs for Shaban." As we approach the blessed month of Shaban, it is essential to prepare ourselves spiritually and mentally to maximize the benefits of this sacred time.

changing our perspective on things can alter our feelings and motivate us to do better. Instead of approaching it like any other winter, let’s make this winter different. Let us find inspiration in the Sunnah and the lives of our predecessors to beat the ‘winter blues’ and make it a special season: a season of worship and reconnecting with Our Lord, Allah (SWT).
