Muslim scholars and community leaders are offering guidance on how to maintain the spiritual essence of Ramadhan, emphasizing actions to avoid that can diminish its benefits.

• Fasting involves more than abstaining from food and drink; it requires controlling one's tongue, limbs, and mind from sinful behavior.
• Key religious figures, including Sheikh Mohammed Khalifa of the Council of Imams and Preachers Kenya (CIPK) and Sheikh Rishad Rajab of Masjid Jibran, are advising against practices like excessive daytime sleeping, laziness, and lavish Iftar parties.
• The advice aims to help Muslims focus on increased worship, reflection, and strengthening their relationship with Allah, particularly during the last ten nights of Ramadhan, which include Laylat al-Qadr.
