How to Stay Spiritually Engaged During Menstruation in Ramadan?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

My dear sisters in Islam, know that your worship is not diminished in the sight of Allah simply because you are experiencing menstruation. Islam is a religion of mercy, and Allah, the Most Compassionate, has given women alternatives to remain spiritually engaged in all states.

The Prophet ﷺ reminded us that actions are judged by intentions (Bukhari & Muslim), and your sincerity in seeking Allah’s pleasure will not go unrewarded.

Here are some ways you can continue to earn the blessings of this sacred month:

1️⃣ Engage with the Qur’an, Even Without Recitation:
Though you are unable to physically recite from the mushaf (the Arabic text of the Qur'an), the doors to Qur’anic reflection remain open:
✅ Listen to the Qur’an, allowing its words to pe*****te your heart.
✅ Study its meanings through translations and tafsir (commentary), increasing your understanding.
✅ Ponder over its guidance, as the Qur’an was revealed for contemplation. (Note: While listening is encouraged, avoid directly touching the Arabic mushaf during menstruation. Reading translations is perfectly acceptable.)

Allah says: “This is a blessed Book which We have revealed to you so that they may reflect upon its verses and those of understanding may be mindful.” (Surah Sad 38:29)

2️⃣ Remembrance of Allah (Dhikr) and Seeking Forgiveness:
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The best remembrance is: La ilaha illa Allah.” (Tirmidhi 3383)

Increase in:
* SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi, SubhanAllahil Azeem– Heavy on the scale, beloved to Allah.
* La ilaha illa Allah, Wahdahu la sharika lah… (100x) – A shield against Shaytan.
* Astaghfirullah – The key to Allah’s mercy and provision.

The hearts find peace in the remembrance of Allah. (Surah Ar-Ra’d 13:28)

3️⃣ Supplication (Du’a): The Most Powerful Connection to Allah:
Even though you are not fasting, your du’a is not rejected—especially at the time of iftar.
💖 Seek Allah’s forgiveness and guidance.
📖 Ask Him for a deeper understanding of the Qur’an.
🌙 Pray for the rewards of Laylatul Qadr, the most blessed night.

Allah says: “Call upon Me; I will respond to you.”(Surah Ghafir 40:60)

4️⃣ Charity (Sadaqah): A Continuous Source of Reward:
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Charity extinguishes sins just as water extinguishes fire.”(Tirmidhi 614)
✅ Give in charity, no matter how small.
✅ Prepare iftar for someone fasting—it will be a source of great reward for facilitating their fast.
✅ Offer kindness, help, and support, for even a smile is sadaqah.

5️⃣ Encouraging and Facilitating Worship for Others:
The reward of guiding others to good is like doing it yourself.
✅ Remind family members to increase in prayer and Qur’an recitation.
✅ Assist in preparing suhoor and iftar, serving your family with sincerity.
✅ Support your loved ones in maximizing their worship.

6️⃣ Reflect, Repent, and Plan for Continued Growth:
Use this time for introspection and spiritual refinement:
✅ Increase in istighfar (seeking forgiveness).
✅ Set goals for the remainder of Ramadan and beyond.
✅ Prepare your heart for the last ten nights, seeking Laylatul Qadr.

Your state of menstruation is not a barrier between you and Allah. He knows your sincerity, your devotion, and your longing for His Mercy. Even without fasting or prayer, your connection to Him remains unbroken.

"Indeed, Allah does not allow the reward of those who do good to be lost." (Surah Yusuf 12:90)

May Allah accept our efforts, bless us with sincerity, and grant us the full rewards of Ramadan. Ameen.

The journey of parenthood is a profound responsibility. While guiding and nurturing your child is essential, mastering your own emotions and actions is equally crucial.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of self-control and patience in parenting. It's about modeling the behavior you wish to see in your child, teaching them through your actions as much as through your words. So, the toughest challenge isn't managing your child's behavior, but rather managing your own reactions with grace, wisdom, and the teachings of Islam as your guide.

May Allah grant us the strength and wisdom to nurture our children in accordance with His teachings. May He bless our efforts and guide us to be shining examples of compassion, integrity, and faith. Ameen.
