How to Make Your Ramadan Great With Instagram
We all try hard to become better people in Ramadan. This might be through connecting more with the Book of Allah, extra prayers, doing good deeds, working on ourselves – most likely a combination of them all. To help us out on this journey, some Instagram accounts are producing daily Ramadan posts, so I thought I’d share some here that I think you might find beneficial.
Of course, they are only beneficial if they are followed by reflection and action, so make sure you take time to absorb the information and make action points for your own life. I suggest you follow the accounts that are most useful to you for your life and learning style.
If you are posting daily or know of others, let me know in the comments.

Comment or message me (by email or on social media) with other accounts you like that are posting daily in Ramadan.
While looking for these accounts, I came across something that is unfortunately very widespread: posting people’s work and not even crediting them for it. If you like something, don’t deprive the person who worked hard on it of their due recognition. Just ask the owner of the image if you can share it, and then link back to them clearly when you do. It’s that simple.
Did that get you thinking?
