How needful we are in Ramadan to take practical measures and utilize the golden opportunities and forgotten treasures that can bring us closer to Allah The Almighty. After doing them, one feels that he has done something small but gained many benefits, and received rewards like mountains from doing simple actions that only require a limited effort, aspiring for the Mercy and Paradise of Allah The Almighty.
