12 Sunnahs

Perfect Your Ramadan

The Prophet’s ﷺ Ramadan, from suhur to iftar and from the first night to the last ten.

Ramadan’s Sunnahs, from suhoor to iftar and into the night, and on to the days after it. Choose a few that fit your days rather than all of them at once.

You don’t need all of them. Pick one, and add the next when it feels natural.
