The Expert Formula For a Perfect Ramadan

World is witnessing the month of Ramadan. In Islamic World, people are getting ready to welcome this Holy month. An increase in spiritual activity is definitely observed in Muslim but not everyone is ready to abandon the professional ambition and life for a month.  Plenty of new/seasonal entrepreneur, graduates striver of all stripes want to find ways to enhance their careers during Ramadan.

Below, some recommendations to get your Ramadan started off right:



 Best Activity:

Scheduling comes first in my mind when I think about Ramadan. Timing of Prayer (Salat), Fast (Roza), Night Prayers (Taraweeh) taught us how to organize and execute priorities. Fasting teaches us how we can utilize our energy in efficient and effective manner. Fasters knows they can eat/drink so they learn how to preserve and consume energy, Its like a Survivor Training. Our behaviour becomes better at work places. We start seeing things from a different viewpoint. Our responses change and become better. We enjoy more peaceful and productive professional life during Ramadan.

Best Book

As Government of Muslim Countries (especially) reduces working hours during Ramadan. One gets more chance of reading a book. Normally Muslim reads The Holy Quran during this month. Its good to read the Holy Quran in its Original Language that is Arabic, but one should read this Holy Book in his/her own language also to understand. I also suggest to pick that feeds the brain i.e. Islam viewpoint on your field of work and study. Like Islamic Banking Concepts for a Banker, Medical Concepts for Doctor so on and so forth.

Best Career Tip

It turns out that Ramadan can go hand in hand with career development. I advise that Ramadan is a great time to re-examine your to-do-list and put a focus on all of those items you've been putting off. Aitikaaf is also a way to refocus on your life and hereafter goals.


Best Social Networking

Iftaar parties are one of the best way for networking. One can find a new intern ship job opportunity during this casual meeting. New Business Leads can also be generated. Getting back in touch or Reunion can heal some social issues. 

Best Vacation

One can actually utilize his/her annual vacation during Ramadan. Plan Pilgrimage(Umrah), Local / International Religious Tourism. To recharge the batteries of your Imaan. Our level of Taqwaa  in general is at its peak during Ramadan. Explore and Learn from your experience. 












POST SCRIPT:

Primary focus of a Muslim in Ramadan should be to gain higher level of Taqwaa. Above mentioned points are secondary. And in no manner can be treated as a substitute for ordered Shariah (Islamic Law) Activities. Its a side dish not the main meal.

Namaz Kit for Workplace | نماز پاوچ

عالم اسلام میں جمعہ کو انتہائی مذہبی اہمیت حاصل ہے۔ اس میں سب سے خاص   ہفتہ وار، دوپہرمیں ادا کی جانے والی   نماز 'نماز جمعہ'    ہے۔زمانہ قدیم سے ہی مسلمان اس نماز کو ادا کرنے کیلئے خاص اہتمام کرتے ہیں۔ بیشتر خلیجی ممالک میں اس روز ہفتہ وار تعطیل بھی ہوتی ہے۔ البتہ پاکستان میں اس روز دفاتر معمول کے مطابق کھلے ہوتے ہیں۔ لیکن اس کے باوجود بھی مسلمان نماز جمعہ کو احسن طریقے سے ادا کرنے کی کوشش کرتے ہیں ۔   لیکن کیا آپ کو پتہ ہے کہ اگر آپ اپنے ساتھ ایک نماز پاوچ رکھیں تو اس نماز کو مزید خشوع وخضوع کے ساتھ ادا کیا جا سکتا ہے۔ اس نماز پاوچ میں درج ذیل اشیاء شامل کی جا سکتی ہیں۔   عطر نماز میں خوشبو/ عطر لگانا افضل ہے۔ یہ سماں باندھنے اور کیفیت طاری کرنے میں انتہائی معاون ثابت ہوتا ہے۔ حس شامہ کے ذریعے ہم اپنے ذہن کو پیغام دے سکتے ہیں کہ اب عبادت کا وقت ہوا چاہتا ہے۔  ذاتی طور پر مجھے گرمیوں میں 'روح خس' او سردیوں میں ' عطر شمامہ' پہنا پسند ہے۔ البتہ یہ دونوں بر صغیر کی خوشبوئیں ہیں۔ آپ چاہیں تو عربی خوشبو مثلا عود وغیرہ پہن سکتے ہیں۔ چاہے عطر...

Impact of Compliance in Non-Profit Management

Recently, I had the opportunity to facilitate an evaluation assignment for an organization seeking certification from Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) . The process reminded me how crucial documentation and compliance are for non-profits and it must not be considered as a burden or dikhawa , but as a pathway to credibility, transparency , and ultimately, greater impact. In addition to that these standardizations and certifications processes provides a moment for the organization to reflect on it accomplishments, astonhishes them on the success, and make them realize what mistakes have turned into habits. It makes them realize how greater transparency and accountability can be a tool to scale-up and growth, instead of reasons to feel vulnerable and exposed. From the perspective of Policy , institutions like PCP, provides an opportunity to standardize, formulaize and improve Pakistan's position in ever evolving global compliance landscape. Every such mini-assignment and expe...

26 lessons I learn from Rejection

Although I am disappointed but I have no doubts over the recruitment process and have no objection on my rejection. Life is full of experiences and lessons, and lesson keep repeating themselves until learnt. Let me share most alarming findings and lessons: 1. Keep your Social Profile Updated All started from here, from Linkedin. I received a message from a Human Resource Personal to contact him on urgent basis. At that point, I did not have any idea why he was asking me to call. 2. Do pick Unknown Numbers I normally pick unknown number until/unless I am really busy. I received a call during office hours but (I don't remember why) I missed it. When I call back the operator was unable to recall who called me and why? But she told it is an HR Agency and if needed, you will contacted soon. (Result : a day wasted) 3. Phone and Face-to-Face Interview might happen on same day It happened with me for the first time. A lady called in mor...
