Ramadhan: Getting Started

With a fresh new month of  fasting having only just begun, our attention naturally turns to matters of faith and how best to achieve the pleasure of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 

Muslim women accross the ummah will be focusing their thoughts on preparing themselves, their families and their homes for a month dedicated to bettering relationships, not only with their creator but also with their loved ones and wider community, be it muslim or non-muslim insha'allah.

We want this Ramadhan to be the first step towards change, not just for ourselves but for as many sisters as we can motivate to join our quest for inner peace and and a greater connection to Allah and one another.

We all know that Ramadhan for a woman can start with the best of intentions and quickly deteriorate to nothing more than a feedathon spent largely in the kitchen with no time left to nourish the Eeman, which is why we want this year to be a catalyst for change. A step forward out of the kitchen, away from the shorba pot and towards a more enriching and enlightening experience.
So in the remaining days of this beautiful month we'll be bringing you a series of articles designed to help you gain the most from this years Ramadhan experience.

We know it's not possible to abandon the kitchen completely, and we recognise that there is great reward in feeding the fasting person, but we want to help find the balance that will hopefully create the opportunity for our sisters to find as much fufilment out of their Ramadhan as our brothers seem to.
 
So please join us, for the whole of the month of ramdhan (and insha'allah beyond) for hints and tips and creative features to help you live this wonderful month to it's fullest insha'allah.
