The challenge is thus: pick three tasks which have to be done during the month of Ramadan which would make a positive difference to the world, no matter how big or small. Ask friends and friends of friends to do it with you, and then blog about it or if you don’t have a blog, send me an e-mail and pictures describing what you did. I will have a link to all related posts on my blog and we will from there be able to calculate all the good that has been done.
The end result? Before Eid we will have completed a knock-on effect project that will have contributed towards making a real difference, for ourselves, for others and for the environment. Read more here
There are quite a lot of things to get elbows mucky in, and hopefully I do. But on top of that I want to take a little tearing out of Sheikh Babikir Ahmed's advice and, with the knowledge that all that guides me towards distasteful things is my own ego and desire, I'm keeping a diary of all the wrong, lazy, misguided things the month sees me realise. In that (hopefully small) list I know I'm completely responsible for those actions; there is no whispering, nudging or insinuation, just me.
Realising what my inherent flaws are, and combining it with a good system of deliberate goal planning, maybe I can realise some part of the person I ought to be.
There. Hopefully that's commitment enough to realise some sort of social pressure to follow through on.

Good on you and best of luck boet. Although you don't need my praise or my wishes. This month, we do things for ourselves... to become the best that we can be ;) Ramadan Mubarak.
