Fasting and obligatory prayers are the deeds that must be performed during the month of Ramadan. However, there are other recommended practices in the month of Ramadan that are beneficial to be done. Because performing recommended practices in the month of Ramadan is very beneficial and complements the obligatory worship during the month of Ramadan.

So what are the recommended practices in the month of Ramadan that are beneficial and valuable in terms of rewards?

The recommended practices in the month of Ramadan that are beneficial and valuable in terms of rewards are actually very easy to perform. You only need intention and to refrain from all things that are recommended during Ramadan. Here are 6 recommended practices in the month of Ramadan that are beneficial and valuable in terms of rewards, compiled from various sources.

1. Tadarus or Reading the Quran

One of the beneficial and rewarding sunnah practices that you can do during this holy month is tadarus or reading the Quran. Reading the Quran during Ramadan is an opportunity that every Muslim should not miss.

This is because this month is filled with blessings and it is the month when the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Therefore, tadarus or reading the Quran becomes a sunnah practice in Ramadan that brings great goodness and multiplied rewards. Try to read the Quran until you can complete it.

2. Performing Tarawih Prayer

One of the recommended prayers that is not found in other months is the Tarawih prayer. The Tarawih prayer is usually performed after the Isha prayer. The number of Rak'ahs in the Tarawih prayer is 20 Rak'ahs with 3 Rak'ahs of Witr prayer.

Performing the Tarawih prayer is a beneficial and rewarding Sunnah practice during the month of Ramadan that should not be neglected. This is because you can only perform the Tarawih prayer during the month of Ramadan as an expiation for sins throughout the year.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"Verily, Allah has made fasting in the month of Ramadan obligatory and I have recommended the prayer at night. Therefore, whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan and prays at night out of faith and seeking reward and pleasure from Allah, his sins will be forgiven as if he were born on the day his mother gave birth to him." (Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Daud, and Tirmidhi).

3. Giving Charity

Giving charity is also part of the recommended practice during the blessed month of Ramadan. Besides benefiting oneself, giving charity can also benefit others.

You can increase your charity by providing iftar meals to those who are fasting or giving charity to the needy and the poor.

4. Performing I'tikaf

I'tikaf means secluding oneself in the mosque to worship Allah SWT, especially during the last ten nights of Ramadan. This is because these nights are better than a thousand months and are known as the Night of Power (Lailatul Qadar).

You can perform I'tikaf by praying at night, reciting the Quran, engaging in remembrance of Allah, supplicating, and reciting blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad SAW during the Night of Power. The Prophet Muhammad SAW said:

"Whoever worships on the Night of Power out of faith and seeking reward from Allah, all their previous sins will be forgiven." (Narrated by Al-Bukhari)

Therefore, performing I'tikaf during the month of Ramadan is a recommended practice that is beneficial and carries great rewards from Allah SWT.

5. Eating Sahur

Another recommended practice during the month of Ramadan is to eat sahur. Sahur means the activity of Muslims eating early in the morning before the fasting time begins. Eating sahur brings blessings to the person who does it. It helps maintain a good condition of the body while fasting.

6. Breaking the Fast Early

Breaking the fast early is also a beneficial practice during the month of Ramadan. When the call to sunset prayer (adhan maghrib) is heard, every Muslim who is fasting is advised to break their fast early. You can break your fast with sweet foods like dates or simply by drinking water to nullify the fast.

So those are 6 recommended practices during the month of Ramadan that are beneficial and rewarding for those who do them. Therefore, Muslims should make the most of the time they have during Ramadan to receive blessings and rewards.

However, the most important thing is to perform all the acts of worship during the month of Ramadan while seeking the pleasure of Allah SWT.
