30 Attainable Ramadan Goals for The Whole Family

In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful

Guys!!! I’m so excited… we’re just about TEN days away from Ramadan! So this year, I wanted to do something extra special with you all to welcome in this blessed month. Today, we begin our countdown-to-Ramadan series!

Over the next 10 days, stop over here…cause I’ll be sharing a new Ramadan related post EVERY single day. Just so that we’re on the same page about this, these posts are more of a rapid-fire situation – the posts are a bit shorter and laid back than the normal posts you’ll find around here. But…you can expect all the normal themes within the context of Ramadan – womanhood, parenting and intentionally simple living.

Today I’m sharing 30 attainable Ramadan goals for the whole family. The idea is not for you to take all of these goals and try to shove them into your routine for the month… no, no no…that won’t end very well. Rather, I encourage you to choose a few – maybe one, maybe three, or maybe if you’re feeling extra ambitious…one from each category and really focus on being consistent.

Worship–related Goals

1. Pray all 5 daily prayers within the first fifteen minutes of its time.

2. Pray the sunnah prayer attached to one prayer each day.

3. Pray 2 raka’at of Tarawih every night.
