Assalamu Alaikum!
Without a doubt, Ramadan is our favourite time of the year! We love the peaceful atmosphere and the calmness that descends during this blessed month. It is a time of worship, reflection and togetherness. This year, due to this global pandemic, things will undoubtedly be different. Most countries around the world are currently in lockdown, and here in Qatar we are self-isolating.
The masjids are closed and we expect them to remain that way for the foreseeable future. This unfortunately means that there will be no congregational prayers and we are really going to miss them. Insha'Allah, we want to focus more on the good and are aware that such measures have been put in place for our safety, alhamdulillah.
Ramadan Crafts
It has almost become a tradition in our household to have lots of Ramadan-related crafts completed before and during this blessed month. Last year, however, we did two big crafts that we knew would change things. In an effort to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly, we made a couple of reusable crafts, pictured and linked below.
Both of these crafts take a while to make, so if you have the supplies you might want to get started soon! We won't be doing many Ramadan crafts this year, but we will try to do at least one, insha'Allah.
Quran Journaling
Almost two years ago, Hanifah made us each a Quran and Dua'a journal. We tend to do more journaling in them during Ramadan so, insha'Allah, we will be sharing some photos of our Quran journaling. We have recently been inspired by our mum's style of Quran journaling and are excited to show you some of her work too!
Baking
Every Ramadan we have shared a recipe that includes dates, and this year we mean to do the same, insha'Allah. We will also try our best to get two recipes up as we have usually been able to do during this blessed month, masha'Allah. If you want to try out some of our previous Ramadan recipes, we have linked a few below.
Well, that's all for this week's post. We hope you are all safe and looking forward to Ramadan which is only about a week away, subhan'Allah!
Take care and Wassalam,
