#Ramadan Daily: 5 things every Muslim who is fasting should do every day in Ramadan
– A Muslim fasting in the month of Ramadan should not waste each day of the 29 or 30 days of the once in a year fast
– Every day in Ramadan is very important and should be used to get closer to Allah through acts of worship
Some acts of worship are exclusively for Ramadan, while there are other ways of becoming spiritually fit, which are performed both in Ramadan and when there is no Ramadan.
Every fasting Muslim should avow himself of the major ones.

Why do some Muslims focus only on a few acts of worship? This is because they do not have an idea of how they will go about what they should do or not to do, when it comes to purification of the soul.
The major deeds which should be done daily and not to be missed in Ramadan are stated below.
1. Tilawatul Qur’an (Reciting the Glorious Qur’an)
Ramadan is known as the month of Qur’an. It is advisable that every fasting Muslim to read the Book of Allah every day, even if it is just a page. It is far better if someone reads more than a page daily. Likewise, every fasting Muslim should try to finish the recitation of the whole Qur’an in the month of Ramadan.

If a Muslim cannot read the Glorious Qur’an in Arabic, the language in which it was revealed, he should get a copy of the language of the Qur’an he understands and read it. However, it is the best for every Muslim to learn how to recite the Qur’an in Arabic language, in order to get the full reward of its recitation.
2. Salawaatul Khams (five daily prayers)
The five daily prayers are namely: Salaawatul, Subh, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha’. Each of the prayers are observed at different period of the day.
3. Tahajjud (Late night prayer)
Tahajjud is also known as Qiyaam. That is rising very late at night when everybody is asleep. There are many verses of the Qur’an that Allah told the Prophet of Islam (peace be upon his noble soul), how great Tahajjud is.
4. Suhuur and Iftaar (Foods eaten before dawn breaks and when sun sets)
The Prophet said in a Hadeeth that there is blessing in eating Suhuur. The Yorubas call Suhuur, ‘Sahari.’ Also, one of the two happiest moments a fasting Muslim could be, is when he wants to break his fast after sunset, by eating what is called, Iftaar.
5. Aamaalul I’baadat Jamee’a (All other forms of worship)
Giving food to a Muslim who is fasting is one of the biggest rewards a Muslim could get in Ramadan. The Prophet during his lifetime mentioned several times that the needy should be fed. Also, giving out charity even if it is some hundreds or a few thousand naira, has much reward in it for the fasting Muslim.
