Setting Intentions

Ramadan begins with a renewed sense of purpose. Setting a clear intention, or niyyah, for fasting is the first step toward a spiritually fulfilling month. Fasting is not only about abstaining from food and drink but also about improving self-discipline, patience, and connection with Allah.

Take a moment to reflect on your goals—both spiritual and personal health—and remind yourself why you are observing Ramadan. A strong intention sets the tone for the rest of the month and helps you stay consistent.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of intention in all acts of worship. A fast without a sincere intention is incomplete. Your intention does not have to be spoken aloud; a heartfelt commitment in your mind and heart is enough.

  • Reflect on your personal goals for Ramadan.
  • Make a simple mental or written note of your intentions.
  • Focus on patience and mindfulness throughout the day.
  • Begin your day with a short dua asking Allah to accept your fast.
