Ideas for activities at home during Ramadan
Ramadan is considered a holy and special month for every Muslim and Muslim woman. Ramadan is the month in which the Al-Quran was revealed, which is a guide for all Muslims, so in this month, all good deeds can be multiplied and the night of Laylatul Qadar is special. This month is also often called the month of fasting because there is an obligation to fast for a whole month. These various things make Ramadan often used to reflect on oneself, as well as a momentum to make oneself better. Here are some activities that you and your family can try to fill Ramadan well.
1. Increase your worship
Apart from obligatory worship, increasing sunnah worship can increase blessings in the month of Ramadan. Filling your free time with reciting the Koran, dhikr, and listening to tausiyah is the best way to increase your rewards in the month of Ramadan. You can carry out these prayers anywhere with flexible times so that they do not interfere with your main work.
2. Cook Together
An activity that is quite special in the fasting month, compared to other months, is the changing of the cooking schedule. Iftar and sahur activities can be fun activities and build togetherness among the family. Inviting family members, especially children, to prepare the sahur menu and iftar menu can be a moment to teach them how to introduce themselves to the kitchen, healthy cooking methods, and at the same time pass on existing family recipes.
3. Light exercise
Fasting does not mean being lazy. Light exercise can also be a good idea while waiting for the time to break the fast. Choose a light type of exercise, such as a leisurely walk or gymnastics, not too long and close to the time to break the fast. Ensure adequate water intake at dawn and breaking the fast to avoid becoming dehydrated.
4. Take part in charity activities
In order to share the enjoyment of this special month, you can invite your family to take part in charity events in the local area. There are many institutions that can help distribute aid during the month of Ramadan. You can teach things like empathy and social awareness to your family members through this moment.
5. Hunt for Takjil
Linguistically, Takjil can mean “soon”, which is in accordance with religious recommendations to hasten breaking the fast. However, due to culture, the meaning has shifted to food or soft drinks, which are usually consumed when breaking the fast.
This “hunting for takjil” activity has become popular on social media, not only among Muslims but also non-Muslims, because you can find various variations of snacks, even those that are difficult to find on normal days. You can invite your family to participate in buying a variety of appetizing snacks to break the fast.
6. Ramadan at YUKARI Sawangan
YUKARI Sawangan is a residential area with a quiet area, but strategically located, which helps you and your family carry out the fasting prayer more calmly.
