INTRODUCTION
Background to the Study
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar,
preceded by the month of Sha'aban and succeeded by the month of Shawwal.
Ramadan is the holy Month for Muslims, when every mature Muslim observes a dawn
to dusk complete fast. They do not take any liquids (not even water), no food,
abstain from smoking, marital relations, and gossiping or saying anything
malicious against another person. Quran recitation, supererogatory prayer,
Tahaajud, and Sadaqah are among the most common activities in this holy month (Abdullah 2016).
Ramadan, with all of its numerous blessings
presents the students with some activities. One of such is trying to maximize
time while engaging in productive activities that will bring the best rewards
from this special month. With these Ramadan activities, you will find simple
ways of leveraging fulfilling activities to help you grow spiritually,
mentally, socially and physically (Jimoh 2002).

هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَىٰوَالْفُرْقَانِ َ

times a day)

intention of increasing your consciousness of Allah through fasting, we also
engage in earnest and constant remembrance of Allah with our heart, lips,
tongue and words. Performance of five daily prayers on time and in
