Riding the hype of the rising journaling trend, which encourages users to jot down notes of self-reflection and gratitude, a number of entrepreneurs have begun offering Ramadan-themed renditions. What are Ramadan journals? Due to the recent discussions on social media, I have thought long and hard about updating this post. I did not want to create something that would be considered as ‘Ramadan fluff content’– something that doesn’t end up becoming beneficial. Finally decided to update it since the Bullet Journal method has helped me a lot personally the past few months in being systematic and having a routine. So hoping the Ramadan Journal will benefit in the same way. Insha’Allah) You may be surprised at some of the creative and thoughtful ideas that the children can come up with by themselves.

Help to Feed a Fasting Person at Iftar Time (Hadith) In many cultures, it is associated with heavy food and water intake during Suhur and Iftar times, which may do more harm than good.

I came across the Bullet Journal Method at the beginning of the year and It has been life-altering for me. Often I have lists to do, work to finish, and places to go neatly arranged in my mind but never on paper. The downside of it is that our mind is often overloaded and overstretched, especially as moms of young ones, we end up forgetting what we have to do or chores to finish only to remember at the last minute (or in the middle of Salaah sigh).

Islamic Studies

There are some health benefits of fasting in Ramadan including increasing insulin sensitivity and reducing insulin resistance. [126] It has also been shown that there is a significant improvement in 10 years coronary heart disease risk score and other cardiovascular risk factors such as lipids profile, systolic blood pressure, weight, BMI and waist circumference in subjects with a previous history of cardiovascular disease. [127] The fasting period is usually associated with modest weight loss, but weight can return afterwards. [128] You don’t need a bullet journal to be successful and make the best of Ramadan: Sincerity to Allah and hard work are all a believer needs. But, if used throughout (even if you skip a few days and have to play catch up a little!), a bullet journal can become a reflection of your efforts in Ramadan; it can collect your best moments and your struggles on the journey to become a better worshipper, in sha’ Allah; it can also act as a memory keeping tool, recording the development of our growing children as Muslims. Common greetings during Ramadan include Ramadan mubarak and Ramadan kareem, which mean (have a) "blessed Ramadan" and "generous Ramadan" respectively. [89] Harrison, Peter (9 June 2016).

The Prophet PBUH said “The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. – Saheeh Bukhari My personal reasons and niyyah – To be organized so as to free up my time for Ibadah.
