How was our Prophet’s sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem and his companions’ day during Ramadan?

We don’t have a daily schedule belonging to them like we have nowadays. We can mention some general principles that they followed:

a - Ramadan is not ‘the month of breaking from world and let oneself into mountains’. Rather there are some events like the Badr and the Conquest of Mecca which took place outside the city. We can only mention concentrating on afterlife instead of saying breaking from world.

b - Especially for Ramadan, we can mention:

Reciting Qur’an more,

Performing Itikaf during last 10 days,

Terawih and rejuvenated nights,

More sadaqah

Giving iftar to those who suffer from hunger or poverty.

Other than these things, we don’t have any further details of differences of our first generation during Ramadan.
