Ramadan Day 1: Setting Intentions for a Transformative Month
Day 1: The Journey Begins! 🌙
Ramadan is HERE! Day 1 sets the tone — start with sincere intentions and clear goals.
The problem: Drifting through Ramadan without direction.
The solution: Day 1 intentions + written goals = transformative month!
Set Your Intentions (Niyyah)
Intend:
1. Fast all 30 days (make intention nightly!)
2. Pray all 5 prayers on time
3. Read Quran daily (set a target!)
4. Give charity regularly
5. Improve one bad habit
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Actions are by intentions…” (Bukhari).
Your intention determines your reward!
