Special Ramadan Series

Dear Reader, Assalaamu’alaikum.
Ramadan Mubarak. We wish you a blessed and productive Ramadan! Make no mistake about it - keeping the fast and increasing our acts of worship during this blessed month is not an easy task. The physical demands of balancing work or school with fasting all day, feeling fatigued and less effective than you normally are, waking up for Suhoor, praying Teraweeh and Tahajjud prayers, dealing with sleep deficits.
But the last thing we would want is to let Ramadan pass us by without doing all that we aim and desire to. Do not allow yourself to feel guilty or regretful when Ramadan passes.
The Ramadan Series will send you emails with practical tips on how to gain and maintain the physical and spiritual energy necessary to embark on increased religious oligations so that you will reap the benefits from this blessed month. This includes special Ramadan duas to say during the month. Do sign-up today!

The Kamranistan Clothing Company said...: All those sweets look killer for the gut :P. It would be awesome if one of these Ramadan blogs could do a post on how to eat and exercise properly during Ramadan to avoid significant weight gain. Hint hint :); September 9, 2009 at 12:20 AM
