14+ Girls group, what we did today..

Assalamu alaikum, I'm in the 14+ girls group in the Ramadhaan club and our objective for this year’s Ramdhaan club is to focus on the meaning and importance of salaah because this area is considered to be the most important aspect in our Islamic lives. Our group have agreed to compile a list of beneficial duas and also take turns to research famous women sahabi. Today we had circle time to share our list of ‘unique’ good deeds which are inspired by Ramadan-which we don't ordinarily do; for example praying Salatul Duha. This gave us an insight into what our peers are doing and also how to expand our list of  good actions.

Perhaps you could share some of yours?

My mum shared these 7 special duas with me from the Quran and Sunnah-that I think are really beneficial for this day and age. You can use them as part of your Ramadhaan dua list!

May Allah accept from us all, Ameen.

Wassalaam, Jaweriyah Ghafoor
