Ramadan is full of trials and one of them is to manage the daily routine effectively. If you have a special strength, you can use it to help others in their routine. Ramadan favors can earn you great merits, insha'Allah. Here are some of the favors you can work on:
Food Favors
If you have the time and affording power, make suhoor and iftaar meals for others. Besides the needy, there are other people also who could need your help. Working mothers fight for time preparing the Ramadan meals, the elderly need help, there are students who are living alone, bachelors who are not too good in the kitchen, and the list is endless. Dropping off some goodies for them is always a generous idea.
Run Errands
Help people do their groceries if the store is on your way, or you're shopping for your own. Ladies are given days off from fasting and praying during their menstrual cycles, and they can always be of use to those who are fasting and suffer lack of energy. You can even help babysit some children if you know how to!
Offer a Ride
If you have a car and there are folks around you who do not, or who cannot drive, you can always provide them the commute to the masjid when you go there. You can always gain the reward of taking them for Tarawih and congregational prayers.
Share Your Place
You can always welcome people to utilize your house, if your lifestyle allows you, for Iftar, Tarawih, and Suhoor gatherings. Your kitchen can always help serve as a cafeteria and you can establish a little neighborhood fund to buy the groceries for the pantry.
