In this episode of Light Upon Light, we reflect on how to prepare for Ramadan not with perfection, but with presence. Drawing from the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, this episode offers a gentle Ramadan checklist for the heart—beginning with intention, cleansing the heart, reconnecting with the Qur’an, training the body with mercy, making space for du‘a, and preparing to be changed.

We explore how the Prophet ﷺ prepared for Ramadan, the role of Sha‘ban as a month of readiness, and why Ramadan is not just a month we enter, but a guest we prepare for.

This is a reminder that Ramadan is a journey toward taqwa—and every journey requires preparation.

May Allah allow us to reach Ramadan, and may He allow Ramadan to reach our hearts.
