Tips on Managing Home/Kitchen and Ibaadat – Balance in Ramadan

Tips on Managing Home/Kitchen and Ibaadat – Balance in Ramadan





Time is flying by and the days have become shorter. If you have noticed, Ramadan each year goes by even faster than the previous year, leaving behind some hopes and promises to make our next Ramadan even better. Do you remember how productive your last Ramadan was? Any regrets? Wish to manage things and achieve time for Ibaadat? You will find the answers to your confusions in this article.


The purpose of choosing this topic was to help our sisters in planning their Ramadan to get maximum rewards out of it without ignoring the responsibilities of home and kitchen. Key to success in all matters is to plan things before hand. In the same way if you plan your Ramadan you can succeed in your aims of management.



Tip #1: Turn your “Ramadan Mode” ON



It is very important to realize the importance of the Holy month. Take out some time before Ramadan to read out Hadith and Quranic Verses to your family. Encourage them and ask them to cooperate with you in receiving maximum bounties and blessings this Ramadan.


Tip # 2: Ramadan Menu planning



Tradition of associating delicious food and specially made iftar servings with Ramadan cannot be altered. Generally most time of our sisters is spent in planning different menus and deciding on dishes. Zaiqa.com has made your work easy. We have compiled several scrumptious Ramadan menus and ideas to save your time and to assist you in managing kitchen and Ibaadat. Tell your kids that Ramadan is special because of its blessings and not because of the variety of food offered at Iftar. We should be the role model for our kids and portray a better message to our coming generation.


Tip #3: Manage Cooking



The problem of what to cook in Ramadan is already solved by Zaiqa.com. Now another question that comes in our mind is: When to cook and how to save time for Ibaadat? It is not necessary that you need to be completely free from work and sit in the corner to do your Ibaadat. There are other ways too! You can turn on a CD player with a Bayaan while being in the kitchen; you can recite dua’s and Tasbih while cutting vegetables and fruits. These small tips can help in managing kitchen/home and Ibaadat in Ramadan.

Another way of saving time from kitchen activities is to prepare some food items and freeze them for later use or try some recipes which are quicker to prepare and yet are superb in taste. Browse through the Zaiqa blog for Quick Dinner Serving Ideas and Tips for assistance and I am sure it will be beneficial in managing yout time during the month of Ramadan.

You can make Samosay, Rolls, Cutlets, Shami kebab, Kachori, nuggets, potato balls, chicken hotshots, mango puree for juice and other such food items before Ramadan and freeze them for later use.


Tip #4: Bulk Ramadan Shopping



Going to do grocery every week in Ramadan is not just tiring but also eats up the time you can spend in offering Nawafils. Why not make a list of all you might need during the month and visit a Supermarket 2 days before Ramadan to do bulk buying? This home managing tip for Ramadan has served as an immense time saver for many sisters.


Tip #5: Manage home cleaning in Ramadan



Your priority should be getting most out of this Ramadan but this does not mean ignoring the home management. Try to clean the house and kitchen on the go instead of leaving things to be cleaned at once later on. This will make you more tired and will consume more of your precious Ramadan time.

Besides all the tips mentioned above there are several other customized ways which you can adopt according to your convenience which may help you in managing home/kitchen and Ibaadat. Doing your laundry once in a week, ironing clothes while listening to Tilaawat, ask your children or other helpers to assist you in cleaning, try and use time saving appliances like blender, shredder, cutter, pressure cooker etc. You may prepare pickles, chutney, lemon juice and grounded spices beforehand. Remember! Organizing yourself will relief half of your tensions. Result is more time to earn rewards in Ramadan.

Share with us your tips, views and advices on how you manage the Kitchen, Home and Ibaadat in Ramadan and let other sisters benefit from your valuable comments. Have a blessed Ramadan!



Tip #6: Manage the Recitation of Quran



Set your targets, divide the days and decide on suitable timings. One easy way is to recite small portions of the decided target after every prayer as this will not just help you in achieving your target but will give you a feeling of contentment after every prayer of the day.


Tip #7: Manage the Sleep in Ramadan



Change in sleeping pattern may results in irritation and exhaustion which can act as a hindrance in your daily routine and supplications. To create a balance between home/kitchen and ibaadat you need to re-energize yourself by practicing a “qaylula” also known as the short sunnah sleep after Zuhr. In this way you can maintain the energy level for the day and can stay awake for the Tarawih Prayers at night. If you are job oriented or are not at home in the afternoon, try and take a small nap after you come home from work. Or else there is a good chance of missing interest and dedication in the late night prayers and ibaadats.


Tip #8: Save your Energy



At the start of the day, you are active and charged. Take advantage of this and complete all demanding and tiring tasks at that time. This will keep you calm and organized till Iftar without any worries of over exertion.


Tip #9: Cut down socializing



By the word “Socializing” I am not just indicating the Iftar parties and visiting restaurants for dinners in Ramadan. I am also requesting you to cut down the time you spend on telephonic conversations with friends and family along with the extra few hours used up on facebook and internet. We never realize how much of our time is eaten up by browsing internet and on social media sites. Try to reduce this spending and instead invest it in receiving uncountable blessings of Allah (SWT) in the month of Ramadan.

Tip #10 Eid Shopping



Shopping malls are packed with people and roads are jammed with traffic especially in the last 10 most important nights of Ramadan. A lot of time is wasted on roads and malls which could have been well invested in Ibaadat. I understand that Eid shopping is important but why not complete our Eid shopping’s before Ramadan? I know sisters who do the same and spend the saved time in prayers.

How Fruits and Juices Can Benefit You in Ramadan

How Fruits and Juices Can Benefit You in Ramadan




                   


A combination of Ramadan and summers with scorching heat means a special care needs to be taken to prevent ourselves from dehydration. The weather this Ramadan is expected to be really hot and not taking adequate amount of water may cause you discomfort. In this article you will find ways in which fruits and juices can benefit in Ramadan along with some innovative fruit therapies and lip smacking juice recipes for Ramadan so that you can get the best ways to beat the heat during this summer Ramadan.



Importance of Liquid Intake in Ramadan



Liquid intake is very important. Including a correct amount of Fruits and juices can benefit in Ramadan. The break from food and water till iftar results in low energy level and the body demands for an immediate source of energy that can refresh you and provide you instant revival. Dates and juice serving does the job well and brings the blood glucose to the normal level. The balance of water and minerals in the body is maintained by the help of juices and fruits. Taking too much of sherbet, fruit juices and sweets have been found unhealthy, for this reason keeping a balance is important in every way.


Fruits and Juices Help in Getting Rid of Fatigue





People are now well aware about the nutrition value of fruits and fresh juices. Anti oxidants, vitamins, calcium, potassium and other minerals in fruits and juices can help in keeping the balance in our bodies during Ramadan. Due to an alteration in routine along with a change in eating and sleeping habits a person may feel tired and exhausted. Fruits and juices play a vital role in getting rid of fatigue and tiredness as they supplement the nutrients which are essential to resist fatigue.

Fruit Therapy in Ramadan



Fruits and its juices have been used for healing treatments since long.

Citrus fruits



How can you forget orange juice and lemonade in Ramadan? Vitamin C and calcium along with phosphorus and some fiber is what you get in a glass of citrus fruit juice. Iftar is the best time for a chilling glass of citrus juice that can revitalize your body and rejuvenate the taste buds.


Mangos



King of all fruits is a special treat available in Ramadan this year. A bowl of chill slices of mangos in Iftar means a natural way to energize your system as it contains fructose. Mangos have fiber which may help in digesting the oily and heavy intake in Iftar. Isn’t it the yummiest way to break your fast?


Melons



Melons are now mostly available round the year. You can make a lip smacking glass of melon juice for iftar or have it diced after Tarawih to kill your false hunger.


Papaya



Experiencing digestive issues in Ramadan? Papaya fruit therapy can aid you with its powerful Papain enzyme. This fruit is said to be amongst the most powerful food available in terms of being nutritious.


Peaches



Diced peaches or a Peach cooler provides a good source of fiber. Iron and fructose helps in provision of energy. Peaches may help in protecting the stomach in Ramadan from the inflammation caused by changes in eating and sleeping habits.


Fruit Juice Treats for Ramadan



As we have already discussed how important it is to include fruits and juices in our daily Ramadan routine, we now know how important it is to include liquids to avoid constipation and dehydration in summer Ramadan. Warning sign is the dark yellow urine which indicates that you are lacking in the liquid intake and need to increase the amount of water and fruit juices from the iftar time till Sehri. We have for you some fruit juice treats and a few delicious drinks recipes to keep you going this Ramadan. Diabetic patients or people suffering from any other health issues must consult their doctors before opting for sweets and juices. Keeping a balance in everything is important to stay healthy and fit.


Mango juice



Cool sweet soothing mango juice which can be made in no time. Prepare the mango puree and freeze it for later use in Ramadan. This can save your time for ibaadat and provide you with a mango chiller in no time just before Iftar.

Take good sweet ripe mangos. Peel them and dice into small pieces which are easy to blend. Pour in some water, sugar if needed and mango chunks in the blender. The puree is now ready which can be mixed with crushed ice and some chill water when you need to serve your juice.

If you want to freeze your puree for a couple of days and prepare a refreshing mango squash or a mango cooler, we have another recipe for you.

You need 3 medium sized mangos diced in small chunks to be added in a saucepan with about 500 ml of water. Bring to boil and when it starts boiling cover the lid of the saucepan while turning down the heat. On low heat let the mangoes simmer for about half an hour and check with a fork if the mango chunks are soft enough. If the mangoes turn soft before the stated time you may take the saucepan off the heat.

Now blend the liquid with the chunks in a blender after it cools down a bit. Add 1 small pinch of salt as a taste enhancer and sugar according to your taste while blending. Strain the juice to remove the concentrated puree and leftovers if any. Refrigerate and serve chill. You may add water according to the desired consistency.


Lemonade



Refreshing lemonade can easily be prepared without any hassle. You can prepare lemonade in the afternoon and refrigerate it for a cool drink at Iftar. It helps in controlling blood pressure and is said to be one of the best solutions of dehydration.

Preparing lemonade is very simple. You just need to blend water, lemon juice and sugar with crushed ice and serve with some mint leaves as a garnish.


Coconut water



Going out for a walk at night in Ramadan or have planned an outing at night? Try coconut water instead of a fizzy drink which will cool your system and re-hydrates your body. It also helps in making your immune system strong in summers.


Watermelon juice



We are lucky to have watermelons available throughout the year now. This fruit is a great source of vitamins and has a great cooling effect. Watermelon helps in protection from cold and provides energy. It is a good way to stay hydrated and is easy to prepare. Watermelon juices are said to be the most summer friendly drink. If you have the Apple juice machine in your kitchen then watermelon juice is a 5 minute job for you. Just cut your watermelon removing the hard green covering and squeeze the chunks in the machine. Here you go! The juice is on its way to make your iftar special. You may add tiny frozen watermelon chunks in the juice just before serving. Another idea is to pour some watermelon juice in an ice tray and let it form ice cubes. Add these watermelon ice cubes in the juice to beat the heat.

You can also prepare the juice in a blender. For that you need to cut the watermelon chunks and remove its seeds. Now add them in the blender with some sugar or honey and blend well will crush ice.

You may also prepare cucumber juice, peach juice, pineapple juice and carrot juice to keep you hydrated and cool in Ramadan. Avoid drinks with caffeine as the withdrawal symptoms while you are fasting may cause headache. Caffeine drinks in Sehri may make you feel thirsty soon. So this Ramadan, try to add more fruits and juices in your diet and learn how fruits and juices can benefit in Ramadan.

20 Tips to Fast Healthily in Ramadan 2019

20 Tips to Fast Healthily in Ramadan


Ramadan Fasting can be helpful in improving a person’s health but only if the diet is followed in a correct way. Improper diet and over eating can actually worsen the situation. Fast does not decide how healthy your Ramadan can be but what you intake during the non-fasting hours is the key thing. If a person wish to gain the best for his health during the month of Ramadan he should work a little on what type of food he should eat and how much to consume. In the following article we will discuss 20 tips to fast healthy in Ramadan and help you to stay healthy and fit during the blessed month.



1. Avoid overeating:


Even if the amount of food is less in the diet but is well balanced in nutritional value, it will keep you active and healthy in the month of Ramadan. The diet should not differ much from the normal days of your routine and try to keep it simple. Overeating not only disturbs the digestive system and the body but it also hinders a person’s spiritual development in Ramadan.


2. Include the following foods in your diet: 


Foods that discharge energy slowly during the fasting period should be included in your diet. Complex carbohydrates like lentils, oats, basmati rice, wheat, grains are some examples of foods which have a slow breakdown rate. Besides these some foods which are rich in Fiber are also digested slowly. Almost all fruits like figs, apricots are rich in fiber. Bran bread, Green beans, potatoes with skin; cereals etc. can also be included in your healthy Ramadan diet.



3. Avoid the Following food: 


To stay healthy in Ramadan you should avoid the fast burning foods, fried items, Fatty foods such as cakes and sweets, carbonated drinks tea and coffee. The reason behind avoiding drinks containing caffeine is that it stimulates loss of water faster through the urination process.


4. Healthy Sehri tip: 


When a pre-dawn meal is planned to start your fast it should be enough to provide you with the adequate energy during the fast. The fiber rich and complex carbohydrate food items discussed above can make a perfect combination for a Sehri meal as it digests slowly and provides you the energy throughout the day.



5. Healthy Iftar tip: 


When you break your fast at the time of Iftar the food intake should provide you with instant energy and refreshment. Breaking the fast with dates, which is our Prophet’s Sunnah and it provides our body with instant energy. Having a bowl of fruits or a glass of fresh juice with no added sugar is also a healthy iftar nutritious idea. Keep a balance in whatever you eat and try not to fill your stomach with the junk and fried stuff.



6. Monitor the blood sugar level:


In the month of Ramadan many people face the problem of low blood sugar level. Especially the diabetic patients are advised to keep a regular check and monitor their blood glucose as this can be dangerous for your health and can even lead to fits

and fainting. Feeling dizzy, panicked and releasing sweat are a few symptoms of a disturbed blood glucose level. Consult your doctor immediately if anything abnormal happens and take care of your health during Ramadan.


7. Rehydrate yourself: 


When you observe a fast the body is deprived of food and water intake. On the other hand the loss of water from the body continues through urination and sweating. If the weather is hot the body loses more water and the chances of dehydration are more. Other factors that may lead to dehydration include the amount of water intake before keeping the fast and the physical exertion you do during the fast. To stay healthy during Ramadan and avoid dehydration issues you should keep yourself rehydrated by drinking adequate amount of water from the time you break your fast till sehri time and avoid going out in sun without an important reason.



8. Immediate Re hydration tip: 


Dehydration can leave you dizzy and you may feel heavy headed, muscle cramping and body pain. If the situation is worsen and you are unable to stand up properly you need to take a mixture of salt, sugar, lemon drops well diluted in a glass of water. Regular intake of this drink will provide you with instant rehydration. Warning: Consult your doctor if the things are not under control.


9. Exercise time in Ramadan:



Exercise is essential to stay fit and healthy. During Ramadan people normally avoid workouts due to the different daily routine and time shortages. If you manage your time well you can easily take out 35 min from your daily routine for your healthy body. There are three options for the Ramadan exercise timings. One is before the Sehri meal which is easy to manage if you wake up half an hour early than your sehri time and the second is in the afternoon which is suitable mostly for the housewives as you can rest a little after exercising and regain your energy again. The third time is between your iftar and dinner which can be managed by taking a light iftar such as fruits, dates, steamed and baked food. You can then exercise after your prayers and have dinner later on as exercising after a heavy meal reduces the fat burning effects.



10. Avoid Sweet cravings by Dates: 

Sweets and sugary intake is not good for health and messes up the production of energy in your body and lead to an unfortunate weight gain. If you feel irresistible sugar cravings you can replace the pastries and chocolates by dates (in moderate quantity). Dates provide you with fiber, carbohydrates, potassium and vitamins which combine to be a great source of energy and nutritional supplements.



11. Training Advice: 


When you are in a fasted state, your main goal is to maintain lean muscle so your metabolism and immune system do not get weaker. Having lean muscle aids both these functions.

The best form of training is challenging (for your fitness level) resistance training because it accomplishes these goals. Ideally, you are on a proper training program! But even if you are not a member of a gym, get in some push-ups, squats and chin-ups at least three times per week.


12. Way of cooking to be avoided:


If you want your Ramadan to be healthy than you should avoid deep frying and extra use of oil in cooking.


13. Cooking method to be used instead:



If you shallow fry, steam, bake and grill your food it can be a healthy and tasty way to avoid extra calories.



14. Fight your smoking craving: 


You can take advantage of this holy month and get rid of your bad habits such as smoking. During the day time you will be fasting and cannot smoke. This means you have to stop yourself and will learn to get control over the cravings in the day time then why not do the same at the night too when you are not fasting? You just need to be determined and once you decide and motivate yourself you can easily quit smoking. For a few days it will be difficult but if you slowly cut down the cigarettes, your target will be easy.



15. Tips to avoid heartburn:


Fasting makes your digestion better as the acid produced in stomach is reduced but if you over eat or consume oily and spicy food than you can face the heartburn issue. To control the stomach ache and heartburn avoid fried and spicy food, reduce smoking and decrease your caffeine intake as this will help you to avoid heartburn especially during Ramadan.



16. Handling constipation issues: 


Eating healthy and including fiber rich foods and fruits like bananas and papayas can help you in keeping you motions regular.



17. Avoiding headache during fast:



This is a common problem when you are fasting and the reasons for headache in Ramadan are lack of sleep, change or routine, dehydration or cravings of addictions. Try to take proper sleep and take small naps during the day is you get a chance. Avoid exposure to sun and keep yourself hydrated when you are not fasting.



18. Urination issue during Ramadan: 


People often face urination issue during Ramadan. Some have the problem of unlimited bathroom trips and the others feel dehydrated and have discomfort in passing urine. First of all keep a check on the color of the urine. If it is pale like a straw than you are fine on the fluids but if it’s darker in color you need to increase the liquid intake and this will solve the problem of getting dehydrated. If you drink a lot of tea it will cause you frequent trips to bathroom and extra urinating means the body’s minerals and salts are lost during the fasting time. So try to add the correct amount and type of liquid in your diet for a healthy Ramadan.



19. Brush your teeth: 


Taking care of your teeth is also important during Ramadan. Brush your teeth after every meal to keep them healthy.



20. Special Health tip for Women: 

Try to include dates, clear soup, fruits, skimmed milk, fresh salad, protein based foods and things that will provide you balanced nutrition. Try to take some rest in the day time and take small naps if possible. Do not spend extra hours in kitchen work and keep a balance so that you get time for religious activities.
