Why “expected”? The Islamic calendar is lunar: each month begins with the sighting of the new crescent. Countries that follow local sighting and those that follow a calculated calendar can differ by one day, so check with your local masjid or authority as the month approaches.

A verse in the middle of the fasting verses

Surah al-Baqarah sets out the fast in five verses. Fasting is “decreed upon you” as it was on those before you (2:183). Ramadan is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed (2:185). You may “eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread” (2:187). And in the middle of them, between who is excused and the hours of the night, there is one verse that is not a ruling at all.

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ

And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.

Al-Baqarah 2:186 · Saheeh International

Before the month asks anything of you, it tells you this: “indeed I am near.” So whatever plan you make below, let the first line of it be a du’a. The pages can wait a minute. He is the One you are reading them for.

How to arrive at Ramadan ready, month by month

  1. Now · Jumada

    One surah a week, while there is no pressure

    Rebuild the Qur’an connection now, slowly, with the translation beside it. Surah Yusuf, which Allah calls “the best of stories” (12:3), is a good place to begin, or a short one like al-Mulk at night. All 114 surahs are here, Arabic with translation.

  2. Rajab · from Dec 10

    Work out your zakat

    Many people pay zakat in Ramadan. Work the number out now so the last ten nights are free for worship. Our zakat calculator uses today’s gold and silver prices, works in any currency and stores nothing.

  3. Sha‘ban · from Jan 9

    Practise a few fasts

    Aishah said she never saw the Prophet ﷺ fast more in any month than in Sha‘ban (Sahih al-Bukhari 1969). A few voluntary fasts this month make the first days of Ramadan feel familiar instead of hard.

  4. The last week

    Move your night

    Suhoor comes before dawn and taraweeh runs late. In the week before, sleep a little earlier and wake for a few minutes before Fajr, so the first suhoor is not a shock. The sunnah wind-down helps the nights settle.
