Ramadan is fast approaching, and as it has been for the past four years, this is the season when we intentionally slow down. Every year, Ramadan, Syawal, and the weeks that follow become our quiet period—partly because the community is focused on worship, family, and celebration, and partly because we make way for the annual MET fever to pass.
This year, we’re entering the quiet season with no fixed plans. And honestly, that’s okay. We’ve already set our goals for 2026 (a secret for now). Maybe it will mean more Arabic books for kids. Maybe more bilingual resources. Or maybe it’s a year of fewer new products and more behind-the-scenes duties that need our attention. Whatever shape it takes, we trust that Allah will guide us toward what is best for our community and our little brand.
As we prepare for Ramadan, our hope is simple: may it be a meaningful, fruitful month for all our followers. A month of clarity, softness, and renewed purpose.
A Note to Parents Facing the Madrasah Entrance Test
To all the parents whose children are preparing for the madrasah entrance test—our hearts are with you. Tough days are coming, but have faith. With every hardship comes ease. That is Allah’s promise.
It’s normal to feel unready the more you prepare. It’s normal for your child to revise and still forget things. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Do it anyway. Give your best. Leave no regrets.
Allah will reward you with what is best for you, and what you truly deserve. Ameen.
May this season bring strength to your efforts, barakah to your homes, and calmness to your hearts. InsyaAllah Khair.
