What should I do in Ramadan?

Many students lack the mechanism of time management during the holy month of Ramadan , and the inability to divide tasks according to priorities during fasting days, in addition to their suffering from problems of drowsiness and exhaustion, which undoubtedly has a negative impact on them and makes them lose a lot of time to perform all the required tasks.

Therefore, our website, Almadrasah.com, presents to you the most important points that every student should consider before the start of Ramadan, which will arrange for you the priorities that each of you needs during fasting, in addition to how to divide time in the correct way, in order to absorb all tasks without neglecting any of them.

Many experts attribute the reasons for students’ confusion during the holy month, such as their inability to make the most of their time in an appropriate manner, to several things, the most important of which are:

- Not eating healthy foods that help the student focus and pay attention during the fasting period .

- Drinking stimulating drinks such as coffee and tea, which causes insomnia and an inability to sleep at night despite feeling exhausted and stressed.

- The constant feeling of drowsiness and desire to sleep during the day, as a result of staying up late at night, which negatively affects the student’s time, and thus he is unable to realize the correct time to complete his tasks.

- Spending a long time on mobile phones and television during the month of Ramadan , which affects the student’s concentration as a result of continuous exposure to the rays emanating from them, in addition to wasting most of the student’s time.

- Making a plan of tasks without writing them down on paper, which sometimes leads to forgetting many of them, as well as not being regular in achieving the tasks.

Therefore, it was necessary for every student to write down the tasks that he needed to accomplish during Ramadan, in addition to the necessity of having the ability to make optimal use of the time of fasting and breaking the fast in a way that would benefit him.

Based on the above, we will present the most important habits and points that the student must take into account during the month of Ramadan, and how to divide time among the targeted points in a manner that suits them.

Ramadan and worship

The month of Ramadan is the month of worship in which every Muslim focuses on spending as much time as possible in obedience to his Lord, represented in prayer, reading the Qur’an, remembering God, helping the poor, feeding the poor, and performing the night prayers.

But the situation is different for our students, due to their connection to the school curricula and the tests of the educational classes, which makes dividing the acts of worship an indispensable necessity for every student, so that he can give his Lord his due, and not neglect the rest of the duties that God has commanded to complete life.

The student must give priority to worship in performing the obligatory prayers, such as the five daily prayers, but he must not spend a long time performing the Sunnah and voluntary prayers. It is also recommended that he set a time for reading the Qur’an without reading excessively at the expense of the study materials. It is preferable to make the time for remembering it between studying, during breaks , or before the dawn prayer.

family bonding

The student is also supposed to fulfill his family’s duty of establishing the foundations of affection and compassion towards them, by sitting with the parents, brothers and sisters, helping them, and having breakfast and suhoor with them, as this leads to increasing family ties between them, adding a spirit of love, and strengthening and deepening relationships more during the holy month.

Obeying parents is one of the important acts of worship for which a person is rewarded by his Lord, in accordance with the Almighty’s saying: “And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment.” Therefore, the student must spend time with family members, but not sit for long periods at the expense of his studies.

It is preferable for the student to participate in mealtimes with the family, and to perform congregational prayers such as Tarawih prayers with the family or in the mosque.

Proper nutrition

Proper nutrition is one of the most important points that a student must take into account during Ramadan, and its irregularity leads to a feeling of stress and a malfunction in the body with severe fatigue, especially in the first days of the holy month ; because the body depends 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, every student must organize meal times to suit his needs, to ensure comfort for the body and mind, while benefiting from the day in academic achievement . There are several points that every student must take into account in the month of Ramadan , to ensure proper use of time without fatigue or exhaustion, and thus wasting time. These points are:

- The necessity of following a healthy diet that includes all the 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.

Many students also make mistakes that affect their day, such as feeling sleepy all day, feeling very thirsty, and lack of concentration. These mistakes include:

- Neglecting to drink fluids during breakfast time, which leads to the fasting person feeling thirsty and having a dry mouth.

- Malnutrition, which leads to lack of concentration, absent-mindedness, and distraction throughout the fasting period.

- Drinking stimulants, such as coffee and tea, which cause insomnia and an inability to sleep despite fatigue and stress.

- Eating high-fat foods, which cause lethargy for the fasting person, because digesting them requires a large amount of blood flow to the stomach.

Learn new languages

The student can devote part of his time after breakfast to learning new languages , such as English, French, or German, by focusing on the basic skills of the target language, which are (listening, speaking, reading, and writing).

In listening, he can watch a program or movie in the target language, and in speaking, he can have conversations with a brother or participate in English-only forums on the Internet.

He can also develop his reading skill in the language he wants to learn by reading a small part of a story or novel every day, or by browsing a website in the targeted foreign language that suits his research interests. In writing, he needs to allocate time to write a short story in English, or solve exercises specific to the language and structures to acquire the writing skill quickly.

Therefore, the student needs to move between the four skills by alternating between the four skills, in order to prevent boredom from entering his soul, and to make him attentive all the time to the change in the daily routine and the targeted skill.
