Everything you need to know about the holy month Ramzan/Ramadan

Every Muslim around the world (and those around you) talking about Ramzan as well as the blessings it shower upon the believers. It is a scientifically proven fact that fasting is good for your health. Ramzan is a ninth month in Islamic calendar. Islamic calendar or lunar calendar consists 12 months in a year with 354 or 355 days. So, each year every month shifts 10 days from the previous year, for example, last year Ramzan started from 26 May and this year it shifted 10 days earlier that is 17 May. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) had said, “When the month of Ramzan starts, the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of hell are closed and the devils are chained.”

Following are some Ramzaan-ic elements that you should know-

1.       Breaking the fast- It is preferred to break a fast with date because it was the way Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) used to break the fast. But if a person doesn’t have dates then he/she can drink water.

2.       Charity- Charity is one of the important aspect in Islam and every Muslim should give charity as money or in other forms. Zakaat is one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam. It is a compulsory act that Muslim should perform. Zakaat is calculated on the basis of total savings of a person in one lunar year, whatever the savings would be its 2.5% part is zakaat. Sadqa is another form of charity, unlike Zakaat it is not compulsory but voluntary. It can be given at any time of the year, to anyone and it can be any amount a person may like. 

3.       30-Days of Ramzan- 30 or 29 days (depending on moon) of Ramzan is divided into three phases. Each phase has 10 days in it. First phase is known as “Rehmat” (Blessings), second phase is known as “Maghfirat” (Forgiveness) and last one is known “Nijat” (Riddance from hellfire). We all know that Islamic Holy Book, Quran was revealed in this month. It was said that Quran was revealed in the last phase of this month and in odd night, it could be 21, 23, 25, 27 or 29. But no one knows its exact date. 

Besides, in Ramzan every 1 good deed equals to 70. People do as much good work as possible. It is said that, as it is necessary to clean our house every year, Ramzan does the same to purify the soul. Ramzan is the month of immense blessing, spirituality, recitation and prayer. After all it’s the way to reach Ar-Rayyan (paradise). Charity is important because there are many people in the society who cannot afford the expenses. It help them to buy things for them and their family for Eid.

After observing fast for 30 days what Muslims get in reward is Eid-ul-Fitr (yayy). A person can observe fast whole year but it is prohibited to fast on the first day of Eid, because it’s the day of happiness, peace and harmony and above all it’s the day to eat Sewai.

How can we disregard the magnificence of messy handwritten letters,

The attractiveness of bouquets of handpicked flowers wrapped in a newspaper,

The magic of stargazing in the night, lying somewhere in the park,

The mystery in roaming around in the museum, admiring the out-of-the-world art, finding something new in overlooked pieces,

The admiration to hold onto something nostalgic & wretched,

The tragic history of forlorn love,

The tale of forgotten people,

The art of letting things go that shatter the soul for so long,

To wait eagerly for the long-lost passion,

To have everything all at once,

To be the old soul without the care in the world,

To live peacefully for once in life…

I saw this on Pinterest,

Thought it would be better to share it on Tumblr.

I think Billy should be given a second chance, considering how rough his childhood was and how hard his father was on him.

What do you guys think?

I heard this song first when I was the biggest fan of Twilight.

I mean who wouldn’t be? It was played in the background when Edward proposed Bella for marriage.

Don’t get me wrong, but it was dreamy at that time!

Though at that time, I listened this song just for the sake it being in the playlist of Twilight’s Song List.

But as the time has passed, this song makes more sense (or at least to me).

I can understand this song in a better way, and can absorb the lyrics too.

Besides, it has the voice of Sia, so you know what you’re getting into.

Please do let me know, what are your thoughts about this song✌🏾

I feel homesick,

It's not the first time this feeling is engulfing me,

Drenching my soul with the same whirlwind of emotional turmoil,

I am tired,

Exhausted, in the process of discovering a place called home,

Where I can be happy and at peace,

A place, that holds a promise of delight,

Where I can be wild and free,

I feel this home is out there in the wilderness,

Calling me,

But it's elusive,

It feels like I am chasing the beloved moon,

I know it is there in front,

Ready to be touched and felt,

But still far far from reach,

No matter how close I get to it,

It slipped from my hand,

Like sand in a desert,

I can't hold it,

It's sinking away into oblivion,

And I start feeling homesick, again.

Top 5 Tips to Become a Sustainable Fashion Influencer

Are you one of those people who (before buying) always ask about clothes' material, behind the story of production, total cost, the environmental impact and things like that? Also, it irks you whenever someone around you buys their clothes from fast fashion brands, even after you reason with them never to do that. Or you find yourself sticking to your phone or laptop/ desktop or tab surfing on the internet or social media about the fashion industry and its impact on the environment and wanting to blame every possible person responsible for it. If you answer yes, to any of the things mentioned, then my friend, you are a sustainable fashion influencer without knowing it! And if these things intrigue you to become one, read further to know better.

If you are adamant about making this world a better place or at least want to improve your surroundings or educate people around you, follow these steps to make your dream come true:

Make yourself a BRAND: We all have seen that people often listen to those who have some power or authority over others. And the best way to gain that power is to make yourself a BRAND. You might be thinking, how can you do that? Well, nothing is impossible in today's world. Start making a page that represents you or your idea vividly on a popular social media platform and pour the river of your knowledge over there. One tip here, please don't preach! 

Follow other sustainable fashion influencers: Following someone from your niche will help identify what they are doing to make the world more conscious, how they are doing it, whether people are actually following what they do, or their method of persuasion etc. It might sound strange now, but following this method will provide intricate details about how you can create what you are willing to start. 

Start taking appealing visuals: We all know what people see when they visit social profiles, creative visuals, duh! It does not matter whether you are an amateur. If your photos tell a compelling story, people will be more than generous to give you a thumbs up. Besides, there are a lot of editing apps available, no matter whether you use Android or iOS, that can make the dullest moment turn into dazzling visuals. Or take some inspiration from Instagram, TikTok or Pinterest, where you can see a lot of sustainable fashion influencers and their distinct approaches to teaching people about it.

Start engaging with your followers, and don't focus on the number (just yet!): Engagement with your followers is the key element of knowing people better. It will give you an idea of how your followers deal with the problem, their method of solutions, and different unidentified thoughts for your next post. Moreover, engagement with your followers will help the algorithm to reach the right audience.

Collaboration with other sustainable fashion influencers: We all know a great number of sustainable fashion influencers are out there using the same platform but have more followers than you. The reasons for their mass followers could be they have started it early, or they provide some mind-blowing content that no one could resist (not even you!). In such a case, try to reach them and ask for collaboration. You could do some fun interviews, share some stories, share your journeys, experiences with sustainable fashion brands, etc. There are an uncountable number of ideas present which you can take inspiration from. Now, all you have to do is grab a suitable idea as per your profile and give them your magical touch.

Furthermore, you must keep your searching & reading mode always ON. Be up-to-date with the news on fashion, environment, sustainability and what other brands are doing to make it better. Additionally, you can learn more about the clothing industry to gain comprehensive knowledge about their construction, transportation, transparency, supply chain and so on. 

Besides, it's neither new nor old to be a sustainable fashion influencer, but once you are into it, you'll love to be a part of a movement that intends to make this world a better place.

Moreover, if you are more into the beauty field, where you talk and walk sustainable makeup, you can follow the above tips to become a sustainable makeup influencer.
