Summary — key tips from Sheikh Muhammad al-Hassan al-Deddo on preparing for Ramadan

Main advice

• Make a clear, realistic program for Ramadan.
• Avoid two extremes:
  • Excess: overdoing worship to the point of harm, exhaustion, or neglecting other duties.
  • Negligence: doing less than what you are able to do of righteous acts.

Practical guidance and routine recommendations

Aim for moderation and consistency rather than extremes. Prioritize sustainable acts of worship you can maintain:

• Read the Qur’an — “recite what is easy for you.”
• Spend time reflecting on the Qur’an.
• Attend and stay in the mosque; wait for the next prayer.
• Engage in seeking religious knowledge.
• Observe i‘tikaf (seclusion in the mosque) if possible.
• Perform night prayer (qiyam); focus on the time spent in prayer (duration), not the strict number of rak‘ahs.

Follow the Prophetic example: fasting Ramadan combined with sincere night prayer is sufficient; focus on meaningful, sustained worship.

“Religion is easy; do not overburden yourself.” Seek help in the morning and evening and a little of the night. Rejoice and strive for what is right.
