If you didn’t get the memo online, or missed the welcome email because you’re an OG subscriber, here’s a quick rundown:

👉 We’ll be dropping some more regular 🔥 in your inbox moving forward

👉 The goal of the emails is that you can read it within 3 mins and it only highlights one or two key things

👉 If you’re a part of the tribe, we assume you’re like us (passionate about Islam, high striver in dunya, absolute tank) so we’ll only share content that we find valuable. This could be audio book recommendations, useful digital tools we use, productivity tips, useful insights and ofcourse FG news & merch

If you opted in for newsletters in the past and this doesn’t sound like your kinda thing, no stress! Hit the unsubscribe button at the bottom of this email and we’ll make sure you don’t get any future emails.

Ready? Let’s get cracking

🛠 Ramadan Toolbox

With it being the month of Ramadan, we thought it only right to use the first mail shot to drop some beneficial content we found for Ramadan (none of these are sponsored)

🚀 AMAU’s Juz a Day

if you’re struggling to read the Quran this month, or are completing it but wanna get another completion by listening, AMAU are dropping daily videos where ustadh Abdulrahman recites an entire juz. 30 min listen while driving per day and get another khatm. Yes pls. (note: if you havent started already you might need to listen to 2 per day)

Make Use of Suhoor Time

this one sounds obvs but if you’re awake at suhoor, rather than eating until the very last minute, spare your final 7 or so mins before fajr to drop 2 rakats for tahajjud. Tahajjud is life-changing! You’re up anyway, you might aswell get the reward bruh.

Want a new job? Tahajjud. Want forgiveness? Tahajjud. Want a loved one to see the light of Islam? Tahajjud. Tryna get married? Tahajjud. You get the point.

This should help too:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: "Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?" [Bukhari]
