My Most Memorable Ramadan: An Ode to My Mother

Last updated on: June 29, 2016 at 8:09 pm By Guest Contributor

This is Day 24 of the #30Days30Writers 2016 Ramadan series. By Aisha Rahman Strangely, the most impactful Ramadan of my life was one that I did not live through.

Last updated on: June 28, 2016 at 5:09 pm By Guest Contributor

This is day 23 of the #30Days30Writers 2016 Ramadan series. By Muqtedar Khan And struggle for Allah with the struggle due to him (Quran 22:78).

This is Day 22 of the #30Days30Writers 2016 Ramadan series. By Zahra Suratwala Ramadan is here! In fact it’s almost done! Which means everyone is focused on goals. It happens every year — people seize the month as an opportunity to focus inward and better themselves. And, the goals they make are substantial and noble and usually have something to do with reading Quran; memorizing Quran; praying namaz more slowly or mindfully or completely. So this year, I made a... Read more

This is Day 18 of the #30Days30Writers 2016 Ramadan series. By Ali Asadullah Ramadan 1437 is shaping up to be one of THOSE Ramadans for me. You know the ones: They feel long and arduous; and for some reason you’re just not feeling it the way you’d like. Maybe it’s my recent long-haul flight just before the start of the month.

This is Day 17 of the #30Days30Writers 2016 Ramadan series. By Nia Malika Dixon Ramadan represents many things in our faith, and practices. Some people look forward to the individual spiritual rejuvenation, some love the community aspect of worshiping together. To me, Ramadan means a balance of both.

Last updated on: November 8, 2017 at 11:11 pm By Guest Contributor
