As-salaam Alaikum and welcome, dear brothers and sisters!
As we embark on the blessed journey of Ramadan, we are excited to introduce our Digital Ramadan Journaling Space! This platform is created to provide a supportive and interactive space for us to document our Ramadan experiences, reflections, and spiritual growth throughout the holy month.
About Digital Ramadan Journaling:
Digital Ramadan journaling offers us a unique opportunity to deepen our connection to Allah (SWT) and enhance our spiritual experience during this sacred time. Through regular journaling, we can cultivate mindfulness, gratitude, and self-awareness, as well as track our progress on our spiritual goals.
How It Works:
In this digital journaling space, we invite you to share your thoughts, reflections, challenges, and achievements related to Ramadan. Whether it's a daily reflection on your fasting experience, a gratitude list for blessings received, or a personal goal you're striving to achieve during Ramadan, your contributions are valuable and appreciated.
Guidelines for Participation:
To ensure a meaningful and respectful journaling experience for everyone, we kindly request that you adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Respect privacy and confidentiality: Share only what you feel comfortable sharing and refrain from disclosing personal information about others without their consent.
2. Maintain a positive and supportive tone: Offer encouragement, empathy, and constructive feedback to fellow participants.
3. Stay on topic: Keep your journal entries relevant to Ramadan-related themes and experiences.
4. Be mindful of sensitivities: Avoid discussing controversial or divisive topics that may detract from the spirit of unity and brotherhood/sisterhood.
Get Started:
To begin journaling, simply click on the "Comments" section below and share your first entry. You can respond to one of the prompts in the comments, or create your own post! Feel free to introduce yourself, share your intentions for Ramadan, or reflect on your hopes and aspirations for the month ahead.

Share a memorable Ramadan experience from the past:
My favorite Ramadan experiences growing up were: cleaning, baking, and getting things ready with my grandma, and her playing certain nasheeds. 💙
Assalamu Alaykum! Ramadan is the month of the Quran, so I want to use this month to connect with the words of Allah InShaAllah. One of my goals for this Ramadan is to read a translation of the Quran, cover to cover. I’ll be reading The Clear Quran translated by Dr. Mustafa Khattab. You can buy a copy on Amazon, but it’s free on Quran.com. I’m a bit of a slow reader so it is a bit daunting, but I have found a way to make it much easier. There is a free audiobook of this translation on YouTube, which can help slow readers like me speed up the process. In total, it’s 16 hours 15 minutes and 22 seconds…
What are you most looking forward to about Ramadan this year?
I am most looking forward to spending Ramadan with my family, starting and continuing some traditions, and setting and maintaining healthy habits!
