Ways to improve in my life

In Ramadhan we become more
punctual in salah; We are less
selfish and think about other people;
we read more Qur’an, and do more
good deeds; we leave all our bad habits
such as lying, cheating, bullying and
fighting behind. We become good
Muslims and become closer to Allah.

Don’t Stop now! This is where the REAL

heroes stand up and do what they do
best. Keep all the goodness of Ramadhan
going throughout the year!

 Spiritual

Initiative

Health professionals give us plenty of advise on how

to improve our physical and mental health. Our
spiritual health is connected but often neglected.

We need to have a balanced meal and have regular

exercise to keep out bodies healthy and fit.

We need a range of stimulating and active activities to

keep our minds and lives active and fit.

Our spiritual self also needs nourishment, exercise and

stimulation to keep it active and healthy. Ramadhan is
part of this package so utilise it fully.

My question to you is how is your spiritual health?

Page 37
 This week
1. Focus on Salah. Pray on time
and also take your time. Say the
words well and don't rush.

2. Every morning or evening,

think of 5 blessings you are
grateful for. E.g. Your health...
many people are suffering from
illnesses and diseases of which
many are terminal.

3. have a mega happy week, don't

let anyone or anything take that
happiness from your heart. Share
this happiness with everyone.
