Ramadan Companion

Welcome. This is a different kind of month.

Ramadan is not just a fast from food. It is a month designed to thin the distance between you and Allah.

Today’s verse

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ هُدًۭى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَٰتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍۢ فَعِدَّةٌۭ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۗ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُمُ ٱلْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ ٱلْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا۟ ٱلْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

“The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.”

Surah Al-Baqara, 2:185

Reading

The Quran was revealed in Ramadan. The month that asks the body to be quiet is the same month the revelation came.

The Prophet ﷺ said: When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained.

Ramadan is not about perfection. It is about intention, repeated daily for thirty days.

Today’s practice

Set one intention for this Ramadan.

Not a list of goals. One thing you would like to bring to this month and carry out of it.

Your reflection

What is one thing you would like to be different about yourself by the end of this Ramadan?
