The Holy Month is about self-reformation and abstention and to give, whole-heartedly and wilfully to those in need, while appreciating the blessings of life.
It is all about taking baby steps. You cannot expect to become a philanthropist overnight just in the Holy Month of Ramadan. However, you certainly have the power to make a small difference that may lead to a greater good.
Distribute Iftar meals whomever you feel need the most. You could either (preferably) cook the meal yourself or buy it from outside and package it well to make it a proper Iftar meal. If you know any of the underprivileged families, you can give it to them. Or else you could just drive to the villages and go door-to-door distributing meals.
Go out with your friends and family and plant at least one tree every week or clean the beautiful beaches of Muscat.
Keep away your phones and laptops and every other electronic gadgets and strengthen your interpersonal relationships. Make time to visit your relatives and spend more quality time with family and friends. Learn about their past, ask them for their whims and desires, and make a mental note to fulfil at least one of them at some point soon.
