Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar and it is a time of spiritual reflection, self-improvement, and increased devotion to worship. Here are some steps to help you prepare for Ramadan:

• Set your intention: Before Ramadan starts, set your intention to make the most of this month and to get closer to Allah. Make a commitment to improve yourself spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
• Start fasting: Start fasting a few days before Ramadan so that your body can adjust to the changes. This will also help you identify any health issues that might prevent you from fasting during the month.
• Create a plan: Create a plan for how you will spend your time during Ramadan. Decide how much time you will devote to worship, reading the Quran, and other spiritual activities. Make a schedule that works for you and stick to it.
• Prepare your meals: Plan your meals ahead of time so that you don't have to worry about cooking during the day. Make sure you have healthy and nutritious meals that will provide you with the energy you need to fast.
• Cleanse your heart: Use this month as an opportunity to purify your heart from negative feelings such as anger, jealousy, and envy. Forgive those who have wronged you and seek forgiveness from those you have wronged.
• Give to charity: Use this month as an opportunity to give to charity. Donate money, food, or your time to those in need. This will help you develop compassion and empathy for others.
• Reflect on your life: Take time to reflect on your life and your relationship with Allah. Think about your goals and how you can improve yourself in all areas of your life.

Remember that Ramadan is a time of self-reflection, discipline, and devotion to Allah. By preparing yourself physically and spiritually, you can make the most of this holy month and improve yourself in many ways

Children are a wonderful gift of Allah SWT. They are the coolness of our eyes and hearts, our pride and our strength. True, we have a lot of responsibilities towards our parents, but we also have our obligations towards our children, too. Providing them food, shelter, education, showering them with love; but the most important responsibility is their proper training.

Proper training of our children involves training across all spheres of life. We need to train them to become responsible and useful Muslims as well as human beings. We need to groom them so that they can perform well in their lives and earn Pleasure of Allah SWT. For this purpose, it is essential that we give them proper religious education, and make rules that help them to achieve implementation of their religious education in their daily lives. Because without proper implementation, the purpose of their religious training and education would fail miserably.

After parents, teachers are the most important factor in shaping up a child's personality. The role of teachers and parents in achieving the goal of well rounded Muslims, and human beings, cannot be emphasised enough. When one party teaches something, the other party reinforces the concept, so that it becomes second nature to the children. To achieve this, we as parents need to ensure that we are on the same page with the teacher, regarding the education and training of the children.

The child needs to be given the worldly education as well as religious education. Religious education does not simply mean teaching to read Quran. It means that we need to teach them how to read Quran properly, understand Quran completely, and then try to implement Quranic teachings in their daily lives. It does not mean to teach them to learn salah; It means teaching them the wordings of Salah, its message, and then helping them implement the teachings; forming the habit of praying on time, every time. Religious education also means teaching them the best of Ikhlaq, or good character. It also means teaching them good moral values.But to achieve all of this, we need to find teachers who are qualified, trained, and are committed to their profession. Without the help of such teachers, we as parents would not be able to achieve our goal.

Alhumdulillah, Allah SWT has blessed us with many blessings in today's world; ease being one of them. If in this fast paced life, you can still find a reliable, qualified, and trained teacher, you should consider yourself lucky. But if you are not able to find a conventional teacher, there is no reason to panic.

 Hiring online Quran tutors is the answer to your problem, if you are unable to find a conventional teacher in your locality. In many ways, online Quran tutor is a better choice for your children and your family.

Online Quran Tutors are selected on the basis of their qualification. They are fully trained, and know how to install the love of Quran and hadith in their students' minds. They are experienced and know how to tackle various students according to their personalities and specific needs.

Hiring an online Quran tutor has many benefits. You can rest assured that your child will be learning to read the Quran with perfect tajweed; Your child would learn all the rules of reading the Quran, and would read Quran accordingly.

A conventional teacher has a class to teach. Online Quran tutor can teach your child individually, if your child is not too comfortable in a class. Your child can learn on the pace of his choice, rather than being forced into competition. However, if you prefer a class, your child can be a part of a group with similar goals, and he can develop friendships with like minded students.

Narrated Uthman bin Affan:

The Prophet (SAW) said, "The most superior among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Quran and teach it.[1]

Online Quran tutors can not only help you learning how to read and recite Quran perfectly, they can also help you in memorising Quran, too. If you are already blessed to be a hafidh, online Quran tutor is the perfect choice in helping you revise and retain the Quran permanently. Because without proper revision, Quran can be forgotten completely.

Narrated by Abu Musa: 

The Prophet (SAW) said, "Keep on reciting the Quran, for, by Him in Whose Hand my life is, Quran runs away (is forgotten) faster than camels that are released from their tying ropes."[2]
