Ramadan Prep: Thrive This Ramadan | Sidi Shahryar Abbasi

Let’s face it: Ramadan can be tough. Many times it is hard to go from our regular lives full of school and work to days full of fasting and worship.

In this Ramadan prep class, we focus on:

- Having the right mindset: How we can get the most out of this Ramadan given the circumstances
- Light fiqh review: How to ensure we are fasting in a way that’s pleasing to Allah
- Getting on the path to repentance and change: Practical steps we can take to seek Allah’s forgiveness for our actions
- Spiritually cleansing our hearts: How to cleanse our hearts from bad traits, and our mind from bad images and lustful desires
- Getting rid of bad habits: How to wean ourselves from excessive use of NetFlix, Hulu, Tiktok. Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Whats App
- Managing our time: How to have a good schedule while at home and juggling lots of responsibilities

Sidi Shahryar Abbasi has an open conversation to help us navigate any challenge we are facing - whether we are struggling with smoking and drinking or with praying and reading the Qur’an.
