Ramadhan is the month of training for one on the path of tazkiyah (spiritual purification) and the training one receives in this month is not received at any other time. Below is some practical advice one should try to act on during this blessed month:
• Ramadhan is the month of the Qur’an and one should try to complete at least one recitation.
• Along with recitation one should make an effort to understand it by adhering to a reliable commentary or summary. The Glorious Qur’an by Maulana Abdul Majid Daryabadi (may Allah have mercy on him) is the Shaykh’s recommendation.
• One should try to spend as much time as possible in the masjid with the niyyah (intention) of i’tikaaf (seclusion).
• One should spend more moments in silence, meditation, reflection and try more consciously to engage in tasbeeh and dhikr (remembrance of Allah).
• One should look at one’s timings, ability and other considerations and plan accordingly.
• Ramadhan is the month of mujaahadah (striving) and our greatest mujaahadah would be to overcome the laziness and lack of motivation of the nafs in reciting the Qur’an.

I wanted to know what would be a good, legitimate, reliable Urdu translation of the Quran.
Also, a good Hindi translation of the Quran or even an Urdu translation but written/transliterated in Hindi letters? I think that alphabet is called Devanagari.
Does anyone have any good recommendations?
If there are any students of Shaykh Abu Yusuf Riyadh Ul Haq (may Allah protect and preserve him) that can ask him for his opinion and get advice/information, I request that you please do so and get back to me as soon as possible. I would really appreciate it.
Ramadan is a short training period or you can say it is a short summer camp that is held so tat you will learn how to spend you whole year by worshiping and remembering ALLAH. Reciting Holy Quran, Doing good work and deeds. and learning by fasting to control back biting, lying and many other bad things.
The month of Ramadan is a month in which the Mercy and Blessings of Allah Ta’ala descend upon us continuously. The whole Quran was sent down to the first sky from Lawhe Mahfooz. There is the night of Qadr, which is better than 1000 months. The thawaab of good deed is equal to the fardh of another month. The first ten days are of mercy, second ten days are of forgiveness and the last ten days are of being freed from Hell. The month of Ramadan is one of the greatest blessings of Allah (SWT) upon the Ummah of his beloved Prophet (SAW).
