Believe it or not, Ramadan is fast approaching! In about two months, we will be in the best time of year. I can’t wait for the days spent reflecting on the Quran, being surrounded by loved ones in their finest Abayas for Eid, and standing late for taraweh. I get goose bumps just thinking about it!

A good way to prepare for Ramadan is by doing sunnah fasts. Fasting now helps prepare you mentally and spiritually. Whether you are styling a comfortable Jersey hijab for a long day or need to make up fasts from last year, listen up! This post is for you!

1. Use a Calendar

While digital tools are great, a physical calendar helps when planning your fasting days. Use it to coordinate your schedule so you can plan your iftar outfit—perhaps a fresh modal print hijab—and schedule fewer meetings. Planning your days around a fast increases your chance of completing it.

1. Sunnah Days

Whether you are making up fasts or seeking extra rewards, fast on the days our Prophet SWS fasted. He used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. You can also target the "white days" (13th, 14th, and 15th of the lunar month). These special days provide more incentive to fast and a reason to wear your favorite solid wovens.

1. Fast while working

Fasting isn’t easy. While some prefer weekends, fasting during the work week is often easier because being busy distracts from hunger. Whether you are in a professional woven hijab or a simple Jersey Hijab Black, staying active helps the time pass. Try fasting during the week so you aren’t just napping through your weekends.

4. Plan iftars with friends

Another great way to get your fasts in is by fasting with friends. You can plan an iftar potluck where everyone wears their favorite Abaya Dress or Chiffon hijab design. Embarking on sunnah fasts as a community gives you a taste of Ramadan and reminds us we are stronger together. Whether you're gifting a Chiffon Hijab Set or sharing a meal, doing it together makes it special.
