Preparing for Ramadan 2023

Dr Zakariyya Goga discussing how to maintain good health during Ramadan

On the 19th of March 2023, just days before the start of Ramadan, Saeed Institute held a “Preparing for Ramadan” seminar, which was open to families. During the seminar, Shaykh Siddiq touched on the virtues of the blessed month and how we should strive to benefit from every hour and minute of this annual opportunity we are given to conquer our lower selves. We were given reminders from the lives of the righteous and how they organised their time and efforts in Ramadan.

This was followed by a presentation from guest-speaker Dr. Zakariyya Goga who gave insight into the health benefits of fasting and how it can be a time of healing, not just for the soul, but also for the body. Dr. Zakariyya encouraged attendees to refrain from sugar and simple carbs and opt for whole foods and enjoy an increase in their energy and overall health during this month.
