During Ramadan, we often make a pact with Allah to fast 30 days, sunrise to sunset each day, give food and money to the poor as well as read lots and lots of Qur’an (some even vow to finish reading the whole Qur’an by the end of Ramadan and NO, reading Surah Ikhlaas three times does not count). Here are ten other Ramadan Goals you could add to your list to heighten your spirituality:
