This tutorial outlines the ten recommended Sunnah practices during fasting, as presented by Bu Biddyah Ihsanna Handevi in the Kultum Subuh session at SMAN 1 Ngawi. These practices not only enhance your fasting experience but also deepen your spiritual connection during Ramadan.

Step 1: Intention to Fast

• Begin your fasting by setting a clear intention (niyyah) in your heart.
• Make this intention before dawn (Fajr) each day during Ramadan, as it is vital for the validity of your fast.

Step 2: Pre-Dawn Meal

• Consume a pre-dawn meal known as Suhoor.
• Aim to eat nutritious foods that provide sustained energy throughout the day.
• Include water, fruits, and complex carbohydrates for hydration and stamina.

Step 3: Recitation of the Qur'an

• Devote time during the day to recite and reflect on the Qur'an.
• Set a specific goal, such as completing a certain number of chapters or verses.
• Consider joining a study group to enhance understanding and motivation.

Step 4: Increase in Prayer

• Perform additional prayers (sunnah) alongside the obligatory prayers.
• Focus on the quality of your prayers by concentrating and engaging in the meaning of the words.
• Try to perform the night prayer (Tahajjud) for added spiritual benefit.

Step 5: Acts of Charity

• Engage in charitable acts, such as giving to those in need or volunteering.
• Set a target for donations or acts of kindness throughout Ramadan.
• Understand that even small acts can have significant impacts.

Step 6: Avoiding Negative Behavior

• Strive to refrain from negative behaviors such as gossip, anger, and arguments.
• Replace these with positive interactions, focusing on patience and kindness.
• Reflect on your actions and their alignment with the values of Ramadan.

Step 7: Breaking Fast with Dates

• Break your fast with dates and water, following the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
• If dates are unavailable, opt for water or any nutritious food.
• This practice is not only traditional but also beneficial for your body.

Step 8: Evening Prayers and Tarawih

• Participate in Tarawih prayers after the evening prayer (Isha).
• These prayers are a special feature of Ramadan that enhance community spirit and personal devotion.
• Aim to attend in congregation to foster a sense of unity.

Step 9: Reflection and Gratitude

Step 10: Seek Knowledge and Understanding
