13 Jul Ramadaan Resolutions
Assalaamu ‘alaykum wa Rahmatullah
Dear sisters,
Alhamdulillah, it’s been a while since the last blog post…mashaa Allah, since the launch of the Fee Qalbee website: www.feeqalbee.com, we’ve had many more sisters join our network & benefit from our mentoring programmes, mashaa Allah.
A part of the Fee Qalbee Ramadaan Countdown, we pose some important questions, the first of which is:
How can we make this Ramadaan more special for our children / students, allowing them to understand the importance & blessings of this pillar in Islam, in all dimensions of their lives?
Look forward to hearing from you…please post your comments here or email: rayhaanah@feeqalbee.com with your thoughts on this topic.
Have a beautiful week; wishing you many special moments in the recitation of Al Qur’aan!
Rayhaanah

Ramadaan Journal:
With my own friends, I’ve suggested some ideas such as creating a Ramadaan journal, whereby we write doen our intentions and actual achievements within Ramadaan, as well as a reflection we’ve had that day, like a diary of a few words. If they continue with that every month, they’ll always increase bi ithnillah and achieve the majority of their goals, sharing what they have done with a trusted friend, or with their teacher, to hold them accountable for any goals they have not fulfilled, and allowing them to look back and mark their own progress.

Read up on the story of the young girl Bara’ah, of Nabihah, of brother Muhammad, and of an anonymous youth, as shown in the links below.
Two of those stories I read yesterday for the first time, subhan’Allah, and they brought me to tears that I couldn’t control. They are truly beautiful people subhan’Allah, and may Allah allow us to be as they were, with such a love for the Qur’aan.
