Ramadan progress isn’t perfection—it’s returning. Begin here, with intention, and let this day move you closer to Allah with gentleness.
Quote: “Lo! therein verily is a reminder for him who hath a heart, or giveth ear with full intelligence.” (Qur’an 50:37, Pickthall)
Revelation benefits the heart that is present. Not merely hearing—receiving.
How yoga helps you embody this teaching
Yoga helps you notice when your mind is absent: rehearsing fears, replaying pain, racing ahead. Breath becomes the rope you hold to come back. As you practice returning to the present, you may find more khushu in prayer and more tenderness when listening to Qur’an—because you’re training the heart to be here.
Practice: “Listen With the Heart”
- Play a short Qur’an recitation.
- Sit still and breathe slowly.
- If the mind wanders, gently return—without shame.
