Don’t Waste Ramadan! ⚠️
The problem: Repeating the same mistakes every year.
The solution: Know them. Fix them. Transform!
15 Mistakes (And Fixes!)
1. Overeating at Iftar 😋
Mistake: Stuffing yourself → missing Taraweeh!
Fix: Dates + water, pray Maghrib, THEN eat moderately.

Fix: Even dates + water! (“In Suhoor is blessing”!)
3. Missing Fajr 🛏️
Mistake: Staying up late, missing Fajr.
Fix: Sleep early! (10 PM!) 3 alarms!
4. Wasting Time 📱
Mistake: Hours on phone/TV.
