Ramadan is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. That alone tells you what this month is centered around. Fasting is powerful. Charity is beautiful. Night prayer is uplifting. But the Qur’an is the heartbeat of Ramadan. Yet many people enter the month with unrealistic goals. They plan to finish the…

Ramadan is approaching, and many people are preparing their fasting goals, Qur’an targets, and charity plans. All of that is important. But there is one foundation that cannot be ignored: salah. Without strong prayer, Ramadan becomes little more than managed hunger. Fasting was prescribed to build taqwa, a deep awareness of Allah. Salah…

By: Adedeji Adenike Ramadan is almost here, and preparation is not only spiritual  it is practical as well. What we eat during suhoor and iftar affects our energy, focus, and even our ability to stand comfortably in Taraweeh. The goal is not to create complicated menus or unrealistic diet plans.
