How to Stay Consistent this Ramadan with our Daily Tracker

Mahnoor Rana

Ramadan brings its own changes to Muslims' daily lives. To stay consistent on a normal schedule becomes a challenge with changes in sleep schedules, meal patterns, and work commitments.

We at Muslim Hands built a daily tracker to help you stay motivated between balancing your professional commitments and spiritual goals. By setting specific habits and reflecting on your small day-to-day goals and end-of-this-month goals- you can manage a well-planned routine that ensures you don't miss out on crucial blessings of this blessed month.

Staying healthy physically and mentally is crucial for Ramadan goals and can help you stick to your goals. In Islam, fasting is a means of teaching us self-discipline.

This blog will give you tips on making the tracker a habit and a means of motivation to make the most of this year's Ramadan.

What our tracker includes:

Maintaining consistency during Ramadan involves staying consistent on a built structure that works for your daily life. This is possible with a tacker that leads you to track good deeds and ensures effective time management throughout the holy month.

Within a single day, tracking your eating time and sleep habits while being mindful of your health can help increase your focus. Tracking your Ibadah visually can help boost your morale, especially by making you mindful of rewards and personal growth. With a tracker, you can record your achievements and previous sins, identify areas where you need to put in more effort, and even push to seek reward. In Ramadan, your every action is a means of erasing your previous sins.

Ibadah Checklist:

You can check off each prayer as you pray or go to the masjid and other acts of worship. Praying is a crucial pillar of Ramadan, and it can be underwhelming when your salah is affected. Checking each prayer can feel rewarding. It will help you be mindful of bad habits that get in the way of your salah.

Recitation Tracker:

Reciting the Quran is a big part of Ramadan. People tend to get overwhelmed by the need to finish the Quran. But by only giving you space to write down what surah you are reading, Quran by writing down the name of the surah and the verse number, we took away the pressure to finish it- you can read it at your own pace with ease.

Verse of the Quran:

Meanwhile, to help you stay consistent and not slack off as you continue your Quran journey this month of Ramadan, you mentioned you can write the verse or verse number that spoke to you on a daily basis.

What I am grateful for today:

It helps you make the tracker personalized to your goals and lifestyle and encourages you to be focused and motivated to stay healthy.

Today's Mood:

Helps you stay on a healthy track- both physically and mentally. In Ramadan, we learn how much our eating, sleeping, and daily life affect our mood. Today's mood is to help you be reflective of your regular day, see your patterns, and stay healthy.

Today's Goal:

Before Ramadan ends, your goals will motivate you to make the most of Ramadan. For example, whether your goal is to spend more time being more productive at nighttime, reading more Quran, waking up early, giving to charity, or whatever it is that will help you meet your daily goal, 'Today's Goals' will help you accomplish the necessary tasks. You can customize it to your set goals and stay on top of them by tracking your progress through the month.

Some questions you might have:

How to not be tired during Ramadan? 

For more energy during the blessed month, focus on balanced pre-dawn meals, stay hydrated, engage your body in gentle activity, and schedule your night's sleep. These tips can help you combat tiredness during fasting.

How can I be consistent after Ramadan?

To be able to stay consistent this Ramadan and after Ramadan, set the goal in Ramadan to continue to break at least one habit you built in Ramadan. Remember why we fast, stay mindful of Allah, engage in good deeds, and surround yourself with supportive company. Keep up the excellent work!

How do you stay active in Ramadan?

To stay active and healthy during Ramadan fasting, opt for low-intensity cardio exercises such as brisk walks, light group support, or using a rowing or stepping machine to avoid excessive sweating and fatigue. Vary your workout days and incorporate extra rest days as needed.

How can I balance work commitments and spiritual goals during Ramadan?

Create a well-planned Ramadan routine to effectively balance work commitments and achieve your spiritual goals. A moment you spend in Allah's way this month of Ramadan will be a multiplied reward. Planning and preparing your Iftar menu ahead of time can save you from last-minute stress and give you more time for spiritual activities during Ramadan.

After all, Ramadan is not just about breaking our fasts at sunset; it’s about nourishing our bodies with healthy food and drink and our souls with faith and gratitude.

As we prepare for this journey of spiritual upliftment, let’s remember that every step we take towards becoming better Muslims is a step towards attaining Allah’s pleasure. Let’s strive to make this Ramadan a time of personal growth and spiritual enrichment. And remember those who do not have access to the opportunities that we do. Millions around the world are helpless during Ramadan, without food and water. Donate your zakat and iftar packages to those who need it most.
