Organizing worship time

In order to organize your worship time, you must first know the acts of worship that you can target during the month of Ramadan , which are (fasting or abstaining from food - prayer - reading the Qur’an - remembrance), and as a result you must follow some advice that will enable you to worship without fatigue, which are:

- Performing the five daily prayers at their fixed times and their importance in making you organize your worship time.

- Allocate a specific part of the Qur’an to read, preferably before the dawn call to prayer, and this should be estimated at half an hour at most, given the desirability of remembrance and supplication at that time.

- Allocate an hour of your day for remembrance, divided into two halves: one after the dawn prayer and the other before breakfast, or put it in between breaks between subjects.

- Do not waste your time performing Tarawih prayers at the expense of studying time, and be balanced in your time of worship, because studying is considered your current work, and work is part of worship.

Obstacles to organizing worship time

There are several things that are forbidden for you that will make you not organize your worship time and ruin your plans, such as: excessive non-obligatory prayers, such as performing many voluntary prayers, which affects work and study time, as well as reading the specified part of the Qur’an without excessively at the expense of study time, and not occupying the mind with remembrance during the time of memorization and understanding of study materials, so that the student can absorb the information without distraction or lack of focus in acquiring the information, in order to avoid referring to it again.

Organize study time

The time when each of us is active during Ramadan differs. Some people feel their minds are active in the morning, while others wake up at night, so they stay up late because they feel that it is more beneficial for their academic achievement.

But according to the experiments and experiences conducted by scientists and practitioners of studying during the days of Ramadan , they found that the best time to study during Ramadan, when the minds of most students are active and during which they can gain more of the scientific material, is the time two hours after breakfast.

This is due to the fact that all the blood goes to the stomach to digest the food after breakfast, and therefore the student feels tired as a result of that, as this food takes a period of no less than two hours to be fully digested, and then the blood returns to its natural cycle in the body after that.

You must organize your study time by planning it in advance, so that your time is not stolen from you without achieving the minimum benefit required to be achieved during your day. You can follow these guidelines to organize your time correctly during Ramadan:

- Develop a study time plan that organizes study time , and divides the required tasks according to time. He begins two hours after breakfast by studying one subject per day during the first week, then increases the number to two subjects per day in the second week, and three subjects per day in the third week.

- Sit during study time in the quietest and most peaceful places, to increase the student’s level of concentration and to acquire the greatest amount in the shortest time.

- Divide the study time between the subjects, so that the student starts with the subject that requires more understanding, then moves on to the easier ones.

- It is necessary to set breaks to organize study time between subjects, so that he does not feel bored or lazy.

The student should allocate an incentive reward for himself if he adheres to the specified time for studying and the required tasks.

Organize sleep time

As a student, you must organize your sleeping time so that you can have a great deal of focus during your study time in Ramadan . Sleeping for a sufficient period of time helps the body to get complete rest, to become more active and energetic, and to clear the mind to receive information.

Therefore, you must organize your sleeping time by managing your time during your day correctly, as this has a positive impact on your psychological and health condition. Here are several tips that will teach you how to organize your sleeping time during Ramadan:

Organize meal time

This is one of the most important steps that a student must take into account during Ramadan. Irregular eating times lead to feelings of stress and fatigue, especially in the first days of the holy month , because the body relies on burning fat and using it as a source of energy instead of the food that the stomach breaks down, which makes many of our students sleepy most of the time.

Therefore, organizing mealtime is very important in ensuring comfort for the body and mind while benefiting from the day in academic achievement. Here are some tips for you to organize your mealtime during your Iftar in the month of Ramadan :

- The necessity of following a healthy diet that includes all your body’s needs.

- Divide the breakfast meal, so that the body is prepared to receive food gradually, without drawing blood all at once to the stomach, which causes severe laziness.

- Focus on foods that help raise the student’s concentration, such as nuts and fruits.

- Focus on foods that contain the essential elements that the body needs (vitamins - amino acids).

- Drink fluids during breakfast to compensate for what was lost during fasting.
