Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎« Taqwa has three levels:

‎ - Protecting the heart and limbs from sins and all forbidden affairs.

‎- Protecting the heart and limbs form disliked matters [makruh].

‎- Protecting oneself from non-beneficial acts and all that does not concern him.

The first gives the servant his life, the second gives him health and strength and the third enables him to gain happiness, contentment and light. »

The Qur’an & Sunnah speaks about different righteous people, those who

- Pray
- Recite the Qur'ān
- Fast
- Are charitable
- Remember Allāh ﷻ a lot
- Good to others etc.

The point is, avenues to Khair are numerous and some people may find some easier than others, strive inwhat you’re good at from good deeds Allāh ﷻ has given you tawfeeq to do, whilst trying to not neglect others.

But remember the doors to gaining Hasanat are numerous, if you’re not good at something there’s countless other good deeds you can do, especially in Ramaḍān.

Tadabbur - Reflecting Upon the Qur'an by Life With Allah.pdf

Life is momentous and the truth may rush in upon anyone at any moment. When death comes, it is sure to. Whether we realise it or not, Allah is All-Aware of every single one of us: what we do, how we are, and what will be the consequences in our eternal life Hereafter.

Purifying the vessel of knowledge (The Heart)

Purity, what a noble pursuit.

جعلنا من الطيبين المتطهرين

‏رمضان مبارك علينا وعليكم

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“The month of Ramaḍān has come to you, a blessed month in which Allāh, Exalted is He, has obligated fasting upon you. In it the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell-fire are closed, and the devils are chained.”

Du'ā' after Adhān

A person who recites this Du'ā' will get all his past sins forgiven.

(Muslim, Nasa'i)

حسناتُ رمضانَ طريقُك إلى الجنَّة،
The good deeds of Ramaḍān are your way to Jannah

والدَّاعون إلى السيئات فيه هم قُطّاعُ الطريقِ
And those who call to bad deeds during it are obstructers of its way
