So
Ramadan is almost upon us insh’Allah, a matter of two or there days to go. I
have been thinking about preparation is required on and off, and nothing much
had come to mind. I haven’t needed to do a big shop, because we have all the
shops on our doorstep almost. I haven’t made samosa’s and spring rolls to
freeze, because it didn’t seem worth the trouble (we buy Classic kebabs, the best I have tasted and
Lazeeza samosa’s and spring rolls – based in Birmingham I think, but I can’t
find a link).
My
younger sister dropped off
a big box of dates for us to breakfast. I did debate making Ramadan decorations,
but my heart wasn’t in it and I wasn’t sure I wanted the clutter where I could
see it all day long (I might change my mind on that though). I have joined an online tafseer class (Quran
explanation), that runs for only half an hour a day and I hope it helps to
improve the quality if my worship in Ramadan and beyond.
Other
than that, I am just seeing how it goes, what routine I will fall into,
debating reducing my morning coffee intake and taking it easy insh’Allah.
Have
you done any Ramadan preparation? Do you have big intentions this year, or do
you just want to get through each day?
You can see what I did in a previous year to prepare by clicking on the image below.
Salam aleykoum,
ReplyDeleteSame here: take it easy, focus on fasting (I plan to have some days off, that's never possible the other years!), being with the kids, no decorations or special activities at the moment... but if the will comes, maybe!
