We also shared free printable prayer timetables and budgeting templates for zakat calculations, tools that many of you downloaded and used.
For cultural lovers, February’s archive includes a feature on the vibrant Urs celebrations in Ajmer, describing the music, food, and the ways younger generations are keeping the tradition alive. We paired that with a photo essay on traditional Qawwali performances, letting you hear the raw emotions behind each verse.
If you’re a teacher or student, you’ll appreciate our education series. We posted a lesson plan on Islamic art for primary schools and a deep dive into classical Arabic poetry for college seminars. Both pieces came with downloadable worksheets and suggested reading lists, making it easy to bring these topics into the classroom.
Health and well-being got a spotlight, too. A short article explained how to stay hydrated while fasting, and a nutritionist’s interview gave practical tips for managing energy levels during long days. The advice was simple, research‑backed, and ready to try tomorrow.
We also made space for community voices. A reader‑submitted essay discussed the challenges of balancing a tech career with religious obligations, sparking lively comments and offering real‑life strategies that many found helpful.
