Ramadhan 2008

Asalaamu’alaikum,

Insha’allah, these are our goals for this Ramadhan as a family, Have a look and come join us in our Journey:

• complete reading of the qur’an in arabic..and I feel more able to achieve this after having had tajweed lessons
• praying qiyyam
• for the girls and i to pray jama’aat..which we often forget to do…which is a shame because it’s so full of reward masha’allah
• sharing food with both our muslim and non-muslim neighbours
• we’re having a T.V free month insha’allah….
• estbalish more nawafil for the sake of allah
• read collectively (from a well chosen for the month of ramadhan to enhance our eeman kind of book)
• to wake in plenty of time before suhoor to get our meal sorted and to pray nawafil
• after suhoor to pray fajr, read qur’an
• between fajr and dhur, we aim to get the bulk of our cooking and household chores done, and also to tackle our ramadhan craft and our family halaqah,and get our ramadhan lesson done
• feed any non-fasters, pray dhur and then….
• everyone has agreed to have an afternoon siesta…
• after siesta…concentrating on collective reading and handcrafts until asr
• then salat-al-asr and some quiet time to remember allah….
• and preparing the house for guests and final iftar preperations…we generally have quite alot of people coming and going in ramadhan so between asr and maghrib is our busiest time for getting the house and meal sorted
• iftar is our realxation time..men and boys out to the masjid for tarrawih…mint tea….sweet things…and family time…
