There are some mistakes which some people fall into when receiving Ramadaan, of which:
Not rejoicing at the advent of Ramadaan for it shall prevent desires and pleasures:
Headless people and evil-doers receive Ramadaan heavily and count its days, nights, and hours because Ramadaan blocks desires and prevents them from pleasures. A poet said:
I wish the night is like a month, whereas its daytime passes as clouds pass.
Not rejoicing at Ramadaan is part of not showing glorification to the sacred rites of Allah. So, oneself should be glad of the advent of this great month and rejoice at the advent of this odd month which comes after long absence. Moreover, getting ready to Ramadaan and rejoicing at its advent is part of glorifying the sacred rites of Allah who says: "Thus it is [what has been mentioned in the above said Verses (27, 28, 29, 30, 31) is an obligation that mankind owes to Allâh] and whosoever honors the Symbols of Allâh, then it is truly from the piety of the hearts." [22:32]
We all have to know that abandoning lusts in the world for the sake of Allah is a cause for winning Paradise, and this is taken from the Prophet's (saws) saying: "Whoever drinks alcoholic drinks in the world and does not repent (before dying), will be deprived of it in the Hereafter." [Bukhari and Muslim]

• The Prophet (saws) said: "Whoever wears silk in this world, shall not wear it in the Hereafter." [Bukhari and Muslim]
• The Prophet (saws) said: "Whoever gives up wearing elegant and expensive garments out of humbleness, when he can do so, Allah will call him on the Day of Resurrection and before all the creations, He will give him the choice to wear whichever garment of Iman he would like to wear." [At-Tirmidhi]

• In another narration: "Indeed, Allah (Glory be to Him) decreed on Himself that whoever gives up drinking [by fasting] for the sake of Allah in a hot day, it will be the duty of Allah to water him on the Day of Recompense."
• The Prophet (saws) said: "There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Rayyan from which those who observe fast will enter on the Day of Resurrection and none except them will enter through it. It will be said: Where are those who used to observe fasts? They will get up, and none except them will enter through it. After their entry, the gate will be closed and nobody will enter through it." [Bukhari and Muslim]
• In another narration of Ibn Khuzaymah: "When the last of them enters, the gate shall be closed. Whoever enters shall drink and whoever drinks shall never feel thirst."
There are some proofs which indicate that if man hastens to indulge into pleasures and desires which the Lord of the earth and heavens forbids them to do shall be deprived them in the Hereafter. And whoever leaves them in the world shall have them in the Hereafter.
