Personal Goals for the Month

It is recommended to have at least two goals for the month of Ramadan:

• Adopt a good habit
• Remove a bad habit (or give up a sin)

Goals

With Ramadan, we can easily form personalized SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achieveable, Relevant, Time-bound).

An example of a SMART Ramadan goal is:

<aside> 🎯 Memorize Surah Mulk by the end of the month

• Specific: mentions a specific Surah
• Measureable: you can measure whether you memorize the Surah at the end of the month (or whether you memorize different verses during the month)
• Achievable: based on your schedule, can you achieve this?
• Relevant: insha’Allah, all goals are relevant as they increase us in our good deeds and our piety (for the sake of Allah only)
• Time-bound: by the end of the month </aside>

This example (memorizing a Surah) is a goal that is a Ramadan Goal as it does not relate to Adopt a Good Habit or Remove a Bad Habit (or Sin)

An example of a SMART Habit goal is:

<aside> 🎯 Read at least 1 page of Quran daily (even after Ramadan)

• Specific: mentions the minimum page number
• Measureable: you can measure whether you do this daily, and whether you do this outside of Ramadan
• Achievable: based on your schedule, can you achieve this?
• Relevant: insha’Allah, all goals are relevant as they increase us in our good deeds and our piety (for the sake of Allah only)
• Time-bound: the habit will hopefully be gained during Ramadan (insha’Allah) and practice throughout the year
