Goal Ideas:

• Do dhikr each day

"keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah" -Al tirmidhi

• Do sunnahs and nafl

"Allaah will build a house in Heaven for whoever is diligent in observing 12 Sunnah Rak'aat (as follows): 4 Rak'aat before and 2 after the Dhuhr (Midday) Prayer, 2 after the Maghrib (Sunset Prayer), 2 after the Ishaa (Evening) Prayer and 2 before the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer." Hadith sahih narrated by at-Tirmidhi

• Give charity

"The best deeds are consistent, even if small" -Sahih

So give charity if you can each day- even in small amounts each day.

• Help someone

Help a family member or friend- be selfless and kind. Find out if your mother needs help in anything..or your brother, grandmother..anyone.

The Prophet [Pbuh] said "Whoever helps his brother in his time of need, Allah will be there in his time of need" -Sahih Muslim

• Read Quran daily

Or if you are going to complete a certain amount of the Quran then for e.g. do 1 juz a day.

"Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a ten-fold reward. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter."  -Al Tirmidhi

• Learn a new dua

Increase your knowledge- "seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim"

Also see my other post with great duas..Link

you can begin with this one: 'Hasbun allah wani'mal wakeel'

• Meditate and contemplate

The Prophet often spent time in meditation on Mount Hira. The Quran tells how one night  he was meditating in a cave on the mountain when he was visited by the angel Jibreel.

• Contemplate on an ayah of the Quran

This is the deep reflective thought you can take from the ayah. What do you personally gain from this ayah- what do you learn and take from it. Contemplation is pondering over the Quran.

"Do they not contemplate within themselves?" Quran 30:8

The word for contemplation in Arabic is 'Tadabbur'.

Here is how to contemplate in steps: https://www.islam21c.com/islamic-thought/how-to-make-tadabbur/ 

• Do Taraweeh

"And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace,"  "And those who spend [part of] the night to their Lord prostrating and standing [in prayer]"  (25:64)

• Stop a bad habit

This is a chance to get rid of any bad habits you many have..

• Make dua

This is an opportunity to make as much dua as you can and ask Allah for whatever you want- good health, wealth, forgiveness, reward, good character, Jannah...etc

And your Lord said: "Call upon Me, I will answer you." Quran 40:60 

• Eat healthily and modestly

Even though you may be fasting in this time, we must remember why- it is to humble us and let us focus on being spiritual. And even though we are fasting, at Iftar don't eat as much as you can, as this is totally contrary to the spirit of Ramadan, through which we're supposed to learn self-control not self-indulgence. Let's try to stick to the Prophetic rule on eating: "fill our stomachs with one-third food, one-third water and one-third breathing space", even in Ramadan.

• Do good for your neighbour

Why not get to know your neighbours or send them something nice- like food or dates.

• Mindfulness to remember to have Allah in your heart over any thing else

• Feed animals near you- birds, cats

"A bad woman saw a dog turning around a well on a hot day; it was panting due to thirst. She took off her shoe, filled it with water and gave the water to the dog. The woman was forgiven due to this deed." [Muslim, Tawba 155, (2245)]

"Whoever is merciful even to a sparrow, Allah will be merciful to him on the Day of Judgment." 

• Learn a few of the 99 names.

• Learn a verse of the Quran and implement it in your life.

Do this by understanding, then contemplating and finally acting upon the ayah.

• Pray for your family and friends

• Fast ... days of Ramadan

You may want to set a target that you want to fast (X) number of days in Ramadan.

• Beautify your recitation

The Prophet [pbuh] said: "The one who is skilled in reciting the Quran will be with the noble, obedient scribes, and the one who recites Quran and falters therein, and finds it difficult, will have a double reward."

"And recite the Qur'an in slow, measured rhythmic tones." [al-Muzzammil : 1-4]
