This year for Ramadan, I created a Ramadan Checklist. I have been thinking about Ramadan since last Ramadan, and felt a bit overwhelmed with how much there is to do.  I needed to get it down on paper. Also, I’m Type A.

I have to say, this was a super relaxing exercise and will continue to be a reminder over the next month. Below is my complete list:

Pray

• Memorize
• Journal
• Read Quran
• Jummah
• Laylat al-Qadr
• Make Amends
• Taraweeh
• Masjid

Give

• Zakat
• Sadaqah
• Volunteer
• Food Bank
• Listen
• Patience
• Smile
• Random Kindness
• Donate Books
• Visit Elderly
• Recycle & Conserve

Celebrate

• Moonsighting
• Decorate
• Kid’s Baskets
• Craft
• Host an Iftar
• Attend an Iftar
• Family Photo
• Eid Cards
• Eid Cookies
• Wrap Gifts
• Ramadan Books
• Treat for Neighbors
• New Outfits
• Prayer Area
• Dip & Decorate Dates
• Countdown Calendar
• Iftar Appetizers
• Suhoor Meal Prep
• Buy Gifts
• Visit Classroom

Hope this inspires your own Ramadan Checklist! I can’t wait to start checking things off the list. Just 2 weeks to go!

Peace & Salam,
