Ramadhan is a month of blessing. Every Muslim is pretty much charged up to stay religiously, however, as Ramadhan comes to an end, the interest and  motivation dries off, especially among the young ones.

As a good Muslim, it is very important that we continue to be religious after Ramadhan. Thus, I have listed down five points that I believe can help us stay religiously active and motivated even after the month of Ramadhan:

 1) Start from Eid Day: The Fajr prayer is compulsory even on Eid day. So, don’t try to build an excuse for it by saying “Its Eid”. Make sure you set up the alarm, sleep early and look forward for the Salaat. If not, imagine the shaitaan has already started working on you negatively. It will be a very bad start. So start well and Allah will InshAllah reward you by easing the rest of the upcoming days.

2) Motivate your close friend: Friends and companion make a huge difference so start early and motivate your friend. Make sure you start telling him your intention of staying religious after Ramadhan. In fact, not only make him aware of your intention but make him motivated to follow you in such activities as well. Not only will you remain motivated but you will get good deeds from motivating others.

3) Stay connected with Mosque (masjid): Even though in the busy schedule, make sure you stay connected to Mosque and visit at least once a day. This is especially important if you are living in a non-Muslim country like USA or UK.

4) Read regularly: Try reading Quran, small Ayats, Hadith or even news or blogs about Islam regularly. This will encourage you a lot and inshAllah keep you energetic religiously.

5) Stay away from unhealthy discussions: The shaitaan works slowly and gradually by tempting you to do wrong but small things. Try avoiding them as much as possible and not come under the influence of your friends as well.
