Our Women – Ramadan Digest (episode 27)
Muslim women balance family, work, and ibadah during Ramadan. Even when unable to fast due to menstruation, pregnancy, or breastfeeding, their sincerity earns them full rewards. The Prophet (pbuh) said: “When a servant of Allah falls ill or travels, he is credited with the same deeds he would have done if he were healthy or at home.” (Bukhari)
Women can engage in dhikr, dua, Qur’an recitation, and charity, making the most of every moment in Ramadan. A mother’s supplication is among the most powerful. The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Three supplications are never rejected: the supplication of a parent for his child, the supplication of the fasting person, and the supplication of the traveler.” (Tirmidhi)
As these few nights approach, women are encouraged to increase their dua, seeking Laylatul Qadr and praying for their families and the Ummah.
