Excerpts from reliance of the Traveler: Recommended measures while fasting (i 1.24 -i1.26)

i1. 24  A predawn meal is recommended, even if it is slight and consists of water alone. It is best to delay it to just before dawn, as long as one does not apprehend dawn arrival while still eating
i1. 25  It is best to hasten one's fast when one is certain that the sun has set
i1. 26 It is recommended in ramadan:
(1) to be espiecially genorous
(2) to improve one's relations with family and relatives
(3) to recite the Koran much
(4) to spend periods of spritual retreat in the mosque, espiecially during the last ten days of Ramadan
(5) to break the fast of others at sunset, even if only with water;
         The Prophet said:
"He who breaks the fast of another's fast earns the same reward as he who fasted without diminishing the latter's reward in the slightest"
(6) And if in a state of major ritual impurity, to perform the purification bath before dawn

And Allah alone gives success,
Happy Ramadan from you Guiding Friends!

Excerpts from reliance of the Traveler: Don't nullify your charity

Allah most high says,
"O You who believe: do not nullify your charity by reminding recipients of having given it and by offending them"
The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said,
"There are three people Allah will not speak to, look at, or exonerate of the day of Judgement, and who will have a painful torment: he who wears the hem of his garment low [A: Out of pride], he who reminds recipents of his charity to them...."
