Ramadan

What is Ramadan?


This post is for everyone that has no idea what Ramadan is. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete fast. Muslims are called upon to use this month to re-evaluate their lives in light of Islamic guidance. We are to make peace with those who have wronged us, strengthen ties with family and friends, do away with bad habits – essentially to clean up our lives, our thoughts, and our feelings.




 A reminder:

"Here’s your yearly reminder that we are all ~Ramadan Muslims~

Before you start judging someone for suddenly becoming “more religious” this Ramadan, ask yourself when the last time you went to the mosque to pray for a couple hours right after you ate a giant dinner. Or when the last time it was that you avidly read your Qur’an. Or the last time you made so much dua. Or sacrificed sleep to pray more."

The point of Ramadan is to recharge your spiritual self. To prepare your soul for the rest of the year. To use the 30 days to create some good habits. It’s not a piety competition.



“Don’t mock those who start practising in Ramadan, this might be their turning point just like you had yours one day.”


We are days away from the month of Ramaḍān, the month in which the Qurʾān was sent down from above. May allah make it a turning point in our long miserable suffering ummah. Ramadan Mubarak everyone!

P.S: I recommend to everyone an app called Ramadan Legacy to help you make the most out of your Ramdan insha'Allah! 

 This app is available to download on Google play store and Apple App store.
- Set Ramadan goals.
- Track progress (of Salah,Fast,Qur'an,Taraweeh..etc).
- Hadith a day.
- Qur'an verse a day.
- Dua a day.
- It allows you to memorise the above.

Doodling/ Zentangle/ Madala Arts Q&A

      According to Wikipedia, a   doodle  is a  drawing  made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be  abstract  shapes. ( This is an example of one of my doodles. March 2015) Q&A: X : Where do you get your inspiration to draw? You're incredible! What I mean by inspiration, I suppose, is how do you come up with the designs for these? Is there some creative process that you go through? I don’t really know! I always start off the basic shape in my head and work from there really but I usually make it up as I go along. Usually if I’m unsure if it’s going to look okay I just do it! Y : How do you draw your Mandalas? You're just perfect! Thank you! To grid your mandalas up before drawing,  I draw all the different circles using a compass in pencil then split it up into sections using a protractor and go ove...

My Hijab Story

Hello blog friends!    I just love it when people tell me that I was forced to wear Hijab. Thank you for telling me that. Oh!wait… I wasn’t forced, I chose.    People often think that Hijab is hiding a girl’s true beauty, and her most beautiful form is a secret treasure only to be witnessed by those privileged enough to see her in that state. It’s actually the opposite– you’re already seeing the polished diamond. As she ventures into the world, wearing her Hijab, she is a reflection of the strength and beauty of God. She is not hidden, but a manifest sign of His splendor for the whole world to see. And what can be more beautiful than His signs?    Both my parents come from very conservative families because their lineage belongs to the lineage of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his grandsons Hasan and Husain. Which literally makes my family a conservative and a religious one as well.     My eldest sister and I used to...

Ramadan has Come to a Close وداعا رمضان

Ramadan has come to a close and Eid-ul Fitr is just around the corner. I still can't believe how this Ramadan has went by so fast; its crazy.I hope that this holy month wasn’t too hard for any of you and that it was full of blessings. Besides, I know that it's really easy to feel spiritual and connected in this holy month, as it is not just a temporary increase of religious practice, but also it is a glimpse of what you are capable of doing everyday during Ramadan. That doesn’t mean after Ramadan your prayers stop. That doesn’t mean reciting and reading of the Quran stops. That doesn’t mean your worship of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala stops. That doesn’t mean your Ibaadah stops. Ramadan has come to an end but that doesn’t mean that your strong faith has to end too. Remember all the effort and hard work you put in for this Ramadan to pass by smoothly. Treasure that and keep it going. And for those who didn’t really make the most of Ramadan as such. Don’t give up hop...
