ramadan 30 day challenge

introducing the ramadan 30 day challenge!

I made this challenge in the hopes of catering to as many people as I can - so, regardless of anyone's home situation, health, money, whether or not you live near a mosque or a community etc, I think it is somewhat do-able or adaptable for all! you can access anything you need for this (verses/surahs from the Qur'an for eg) online. I also know that for some people (depending on countries etc), ramadan is either 29 or 30 days, so it's fine to finish on the 29th day if necessary.

if you miss a couple days as well (or end up seeing this post halfway through ramadan), just pick up from whatever day of ramadan it is!

it starts off easy and gets harder as you go along! i'm also going to be doing this ramadan challenge and posting my own updates on here, Insha’Allah! if you do this too, please do tag me because I would love to see how people are getting on! ♡ here it is:

recite surah ikhlas 3 times

recite durood sharif 3 times

read Qur'an after asr

recite the 3 Quls (last 3 surahs of the Qur'an) in the evening/before sleeping today

listen to an islamic podcast

write down 5 things you are grateful to Allah for on paper or phone notes app

istighfar 100 times

read all of surah mulk before bed

wake up for tahajjud and pray (at least) 2 rakaats

learn 5 names/attributes of Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ

do something nice for somebody else - can even be very small and will still be rewarded for it

wear your favourite abaya/thobe/modest clothing for every salah today. look your best for Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ in your prayer like you would to go to a special event

give some (charity) sadaqah (create a sadaqah jar/box!)

read the last 2 verses of surah baqarah before sleeping

make a du'a for your friends and family - name them and pray for something specific for each of them

read all of surah Ya Sin after fajr

pray 2 nafl rakaats (voluntary prayer) today after the 2 sunnah rakaats of zuhr

no backbiting/gossiping about anyone at all and 2 nafl rakaats (voluntary prayer) if you do

pick a surah from the Qur'an and read the commentary for each verse

memorise the dua to recite on laylatul qadr اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي Allahumma innaka 'Afuwwun, tuhibbul 'afwa, fa'fu 'anni "O Allah, You are indeed Forgiving and love to forgive, so forgive me."

donate to a charity (for palestine!!). even the smallest amount will be beneficial + rewarded by Allah

recite ayatul kursi after each 5 fard (obligatory) salah

pray all the 12 sunnah today: 2 rakaats before Fajr; 4 rakaats before zuhr and two rakaats after; 2 rakaats after Maghrib; and 2 rakaats after Ishaa

pray (at least) 2 rakaats of taraweeh (either at the mosque or at home by yourself/with family!)

pray 2 rakaats of duha (optional) prayer - it is between 15 minutes after sunrise until zuhr time. (not after zuhr!!)

recite subhanallahi wabihamdi, subhanallahil adheem 100 times - (Glory be to Allah and all praise is due to Him, glory be to Allah, the Great)

be extra modest today (tailored to you. wear hijab outside if you don't, or wear your loosest outfit or lower your gaze completely (including lowering it on social media) today etc. whatever being extra modest is for you, do that today).

pray on time, no procrastination or delays. check what local time each prayer is for you and pray then (unless you're praying at the mosque!)

istighfar x1000 times

pray some of the nawafil ON TOP OF all the sunnah prayers that accompany the 5 obligatory prayers: - 2 rakaats of duha prayer - 2 rakaats after the 2 sunnah rakaats of zuhr - 4 rakaats before asr - 2 rakaats after the 2 sunnah rakaats of maghrib - 2 rakaats after the 2 sunnah rakaats of ishaa (extra challenge: wake up for tahajjud too)

level extreme: if you want an extra extra challenge, you can continue doing each one every day as you go along. so day 1 would be recite surah ikhlas 3 times and day 2 would be recite surah ikhlas and durood sharif 3 times, day 3 would be recite surah ikhlas and durood sharif 3 times and read Qur'an after asr... and you get the gist. if you do this, good luck on day 30 when you have 30 things to do lol

note: giving sadaqah (charity) can be adapted if donating money is a struggle - for eg, doing dhikr on behalf of somebody else can count as sadaqah. click here for more info on this.

may Allah make this challenge easy for whoever intends to participate and let the deeds indeed be multiplied by 100 this ramadan and forgive us for our shortcomings, Ameen ♡

[julaibib]

On that day you will see the faithful men and the faithful women-- their light running before them and on their right hand-- good news for you today: gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein, that is the grand achievement.

Why The Quran Asks Us To Ponder

Islam emphasises reflection, urging believers to use reason and contemplation to grasp the magnificence of creation and the purpose of life. The Quran, revealed to be a guidance for humanity, frequently calls us to use our intellect and ponder over the signs of Allah’s creation, encouraging deeper faith, gratitude, and understanding.

Below, we explore the Quran’s repeated call to contemplation, the signs in Allah’s creation, and the wisdom behind this reflection.

The Call to Ponder: A Divine Invitation

The Quran mentions the act of pondering 13 times, inviting readers to think beyond surface realities. Reflection in Islam is not just intellectual but also spiritual, helping people develop a connection with Allah by appreciating the beauty and precision of His creations. The Quran often presents questions that awaken hearts and minds:

“Do you not think?” (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:44)

“Will you not then ponder?” (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:219)

“Do they not reflect upon the Quran?” (Surah An-Nisa, 4:82)

“Will they not contemplate within themselves?” (Surah Ar-Rum, 30:8)

“So reflect, O people of insight.” (Surah Al-Hashr, 59:21)

“Do they not contemplate the Word?” (Surah Al-Mu’minun, 23:68)

“Do they not reflect upon the stories?” (Surah Yusuf, 12:111)

“Will you not ponder?” (Surah Al-Anaam, 6:50)

“In that are signs for those who reflect.” (Surah Ar-Rum, 30:21)

“For those who think and reflect…” (Surah Al-Zumar, 39:42)

“Do they not reflect on what Allah has created?” (Surah Al-A’raf, 7:185)

“Have they not traveled through the land to reflect?” (Surah Al-Hajj, 22:46)

“Do they not reflect on the heavens and the earth?” (Surah Ghafir, 40:57)

The Quran draws our attention to the vastness and intricacy of the universe as signs of Allah’s creative power:

“Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, are signs for those of understanding.” (Surah Aal-Imran, 3:190)

From the sky to the earth, the Quran teaches that every element of nature reflects divine wisdom. The harmony in ecosystems, the precise orbit of celestial bodies, and the perfect design of living beings all bear witness to Allah’s knowledge and control.

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “Think about the creation of Allah, but do not think about the essence of Allah, for you will never be able to comprehend it.” (Sunan Abi Dawood, 4726)

Islam invites us to appreciate Allah’s signs but warns against delving into matters beyond human understanding, such as Allah’s essence.

Gratitude and Faith through Reflection

Contemplation naturally leads to gratitude. When we reflect upon the intricacies of creation, we recognizse our dependence on Allah’s blessings and mercy, increasing our faith and humility. The Quran says:

“If you were to count the favours of Allah, you could never enumerate them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Surah An-Nahl, 16:18)

Reflection transforms routine experiences — such as observing the sunrise or feeling the breeze — into moments of spiritual awareness. Gratitude, in Islam, is not merely verbal but is shown through worship, kindness, and responsible stewardship of the earth.

Islam’s Encouragement to Seek Knowledge

Islam’s emphasis on reflection fosters a deep love for learning and personal growth. The first revealed words of the Quran were:

“Read in the name of your Lord who created.” (Surah Al-Alaq, 96:1)

This call to read, understand, and seek knowledge underscores the importance of intellectual development in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

“Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” (Ibn Majah, Hadith 224)

The act of pondering leads to acquiring knowledge, developing moral character, and fulfilling our purpose as vicegerents of Allah on earth.

The Quran and Sunnah guide believers to reflect on both scripture and creation, allowing them to develop a profound connection with Allah. Through contemplation, one not only understands life’s purpose but also appreciates the beauty, wisdom, and mercy of God. This reflection leads believers to live mindfully, with gratitude and humility, striving to embody the teachings of Islam.

Emphasis of Good Character and Manners in Islam Islam is not just a set of rituals or beliefs; it is a comprehensive way of life that emphasises the importance of good…medium.com

[refat-ahmed]

Allah is the One Who created seven heavens ˹in layers˺, and likewise for the earth. The ˹divine˺ command descends between them so you may know that Allah is Most Capable of everything and that Allah certainly encompasses all things in ˹His˺ knowledge.

—Qur’an Surah At-Talaq 65:12

[farisjax]

One lesser-known aspect of the Quran is its emphasis on knowledge and scientific inquiry. The Quran encourages the pursuit of knowledge and reflection on the natural world, which is evident in several verses. Here are some points highlighting this aspect:

1. **Encouragement of Knowledge and Learning**: The Quran repeatedly emphasizes the importance of knowledge. For instance, the first word revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was "Iqra," which means "Read" or "Recite." This is found in Surah Al-Alaq (96:1-5), which starts with, "Read in the name of your Lord who created."

2. **Reflection on Nature**: The Quran contains numerous verses that urge believers to observe and reflect on the natural world. Surah Al-Imran (3:190) states, "Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding."

3. **Scientific Phenomena**: The Quran mentions various natural phenomena and encourages contemplation of these signs. For instance:

- **Astronomy**: Surah Al-Anbiya (21:30) mentions, "Do not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass, then We opened them out?" This is often interpreted as a reference to the Big Bang theory.( Allah knows if big bang theory is true and legit)

- **Embryology**: Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:12-14) describes the development of the human embryo in stages, which has been found to align with modern embryological knowledge.

4. **Oceans and Deep Seas**: Surah An-Nur (24:40) describes the depths of the oceans, mentioning the darkness found there, a phenomenon that was unknown to people at the time. It states, "Or [they are] like layers of darkness within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds."

5. **Water Cycle**: The Quran also describes aspects of the water cycle. Surah Az-Zumar (39:21) says, "Have you not seen that Allah sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs in the earth?"

The Quran is full of wisdom but we must understand it by doing justice with the Quran by reading it everyday with the intention to please Allah

[deenemaan]

Say to those who disbelieve, "You will be overcome and gathered together to Hell, and wretched is the resting place."

Surah Ali Imran Ayah 12

ISTIGHFAR DAN TAUBAT ADALAH SOLUSI

Ar-Robi’ Ibnu Shobih rohimahullah menceritakan,

- Seorang lelaki mengadukan problem kemarau kepada al-Hasan al-Bahsri. Ia pun memberi bimbingan, “Istighfarlah kepada Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’ala..”, ucapnya.

- Yang lain datang mengeluhkan kemiskinannya. “Istighfarlah kepada Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’ala..”, kata al-Hasan.

- Orang lain lagi datang seraya berkata kepada al-Hasan, “Mohon berdo'alah kepada Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’ala, agar Dia memberi rezeki seorang anak untukku..” Al-Hasan menjawab, “Istighfarlah kepada Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’ala..”

- Yang lain lagi mengeluhkan keringnya kebun-kebun. “Istighfarlah kepada Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’ala..”, kata al-Hasan.

Kami pun bertanya kepada al-Hasan, “Beberapa orang telah mendatangimu dengan pengaduan yang berbeda-beda, tetapi engkau menyuruh mereka semua agar beristighfar..”

Al-Hasan menjawab, “Aku tidak berfatwa dari pikiranku sendiri. Sungguh, Allah subhaanahu wa ta’ala, berfirman dalam surah Nuh,

فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ غَفَّارً – ١٠ يُّرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّدْرَارً – ١١ وَّيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِاَمْوَالٍ وَّبَنِيْنَ وَيَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّيَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ اَنْهٰرً – ١٢

"Maka aku katakan kepada mereka, “Mohonlah ampun kepada Robb kalian, sesungguhnya Dia Maha Pengampun, niscaya dengan begitu Dia akan mengirimkan hujan kepada kalian dengan berturut-turut dan memperbanyak harta dan anak-anak kalian serta mengadakan untuk kalian kebun-kebun dan mengadakan pula di dalamnya sungai-sungai untuk kalian..”

(Nuh: 10-12)
