Ramadan Reminders

🌅

Suhoor

Eat before Fajr time. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Take Suhoor, for in Suhoor there is blessing." (Bukhari)

🌙

Iftar

Break your fast at Maghrib time. It is Sunnah to break with dates and water before praying Maghrib.

📖

Quran

Ramadan is the month of the Quran. Try to complete at least one reading of the entire Quran.

🤲

Taraweeh

Pray the nightly Taraweeh prayers. "Whoever prays during Ramadan with faith, his sins will be forgiven." (Bukhari)

Laylat al-Qadr

Seek the Night of Power in the last 10 nights (odd nights). It is better than 1,000 months of worship.

💰

Zakat al-Fitr

Give Zakat al-Fitr before Eid prayer. It purifies the fast and provides for the needy on Eid day.
