Ramadan Preparation: Don't Skip Shaban's Spiritual Conditioning!

 
 

Ramadan is not training camp Ramadan is the match itself Ramadan is the arena Ramadan is when you've entered into the game Shaban is training camp Shaban is the warmup Shaban is the spiritual conditioning I'm using that word very intentionally The spiritual conditioning of the nafs before Ramadan The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would fast Shaban The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would do things in Shaban in anticipation of the month of Ramadan You don't just show up to the match not stretched not warmed up not conditioned and then get where you need to get Doesn't work that way Every I'm gonna challenge you with this every single good habit that you cultivate in Shaban will have an impact in Ramadan and every single bad habit that you leave un-remedied in Shaban will impact your Ramadan negatively There is no doubt about it Everything you do in this month will affect something about Ramadan; your sleep schedule your your your fasting or lack of fasting Whether you started reading the Quran or not All of these things are gonna have an impact on the quality of your Ramadan So every single day your assignment for the month of Shaban is what am I doing today that is against my nafs
 
 
STOP treating Ramadan like a practice run. 

If you show up to the match without a warm-up, you lose.
Ramadan is the ARENA. Shaban is the TRAINING CAMP. 

Most people fail their spiritual goals because they ignore the "Pre-Season Conditioning." The Prophet (PBUH) didn't wait; he conditioned his Nafs (Self) in Shaban.

 **THE FORMULA FOR SPIRITUAL VICTORY** 
Every bad habit you keep in Shaban is a weakness you bring into the arena of Ramadan. 
Are you building "Spiritual Muscle" or are you letting your soul atrophy?

Your Assignment for Shaban: "What am I doing TODAY that is against my Nafs?"
