Du'aa To Read for Each Asharah of Ramadhaan

As many of us are working Muslimahs, we might find it hard to remember which adhkaar’s are recommended to read. For each Asharah (ten-day period) of Ramadan, it is recommended to regularly recite the following Du’aa. I’ve created a small printable, which…

As Winter Sets In...

Late sunrises. Early sunsets. Chilly morning air. Cloudy, rainy days. Out comes the fuzzy blankets. Get the fires lit. Snuggle with your beloved. Toast marshmallows on the fire. Sip on hot, spicy chai (tea). Come home to a savoury Sunday roast. Don’t forget, there’s hot custard & Malva pudding too! The Autumn chill has given way to the Winter cold. Whilst I appreciate the coziness that comes as…

Vlogs That I ‘ve Been Watching During Ramadhaan

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Ramadhaan is such an inspiring month and I love that we we can find inspiration everywhere we go. During the day, I find that when work becomes a bit quiet or if I’m home, I’ll find a few minutes to decompress after dealing with household chores, by watching inspirational vlogs. My favourite vlogs to watch this Ramadhaan so far have been the the Jannah series…

For the past few years I have designed some basic planner pages for my subscribers to download and use, during Ramadhaan.

We have all been blessed to enter into a beautiful and blessed month by the Grace and Mercy of Allah SWT. I sincerely hope that we all get to make the most of this blessed month and fulfil all our spiritual goals Insha Allah. May this month bring enlightenment to darkened hearts, May the giving of Zakaah open paths to Halaal wealth and earnings, May Allah SWT bless us with Hidaya in acknowledging right from wrong, Halaal from Haraam, and guide us away from those who intentionally set out to harm us due to envy and jealousy. May Allah SWT grant us forgiveness and mercy as we strive to be better Muslims and Muslimahs, better people with open hearts filled with gratitude for all He has blessed us with, and continues to bless us with. May we experience a month that brings you peace, joy, relief, appreciation, accepted Ibaadah, and blessings from the bounties of Allah SWT. Ramadhaan Kareem and Jumu’ah Mubarak to all. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqKDRZmKSs9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
