Before We Start!
My name is Kadijah Kastriba, and I converted to Islam the day before Ramadan in the Hijri 1425, Alhumdilillah! It was a confusing and exciting time because the Deen was so new to me! I have made it my goal every Ramadan since to be just a bit more organized so that I can take advantage of this great month. Ramadan is the time of year where I take stock of my relationship with Allah, Subhana-hu wa-Ta’ala, and I decide what new goals and habits I want to add to my Ibadah. Now, I am going to share my passion of getting prepared with all of you, Insha Allah.
Over the years, I am passionate about self-development and have taken several classes in leadership, organization, and communication. I hold two associates degrees and am currently working on my bachelors in Economics and Organizational Communication at Penn State. I have also started taking my Islamic Studies quite seriously and became a Student of Knowledge with AlMaghrib Institute. This workshop is a project I have created under their guidance, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
Even when the Day of Judgement is about to happen, and there is a little sprout (seedling) in your hand, you should continue to plant it.

Getting Ready for the Workshop
I do ask that you please have some supplies with you when you start the workshop. These are tools that will help you along the way.
- A Notebook for taking notes and making to do lists
- A Journal that you will continue to use during the month of Ramadan (This is different from your notebook)
- A Planner – one that will give you joy to use. Tip: Do not buy the most expensive one! If this is your first time using a planner, less it more!
- Your favorite writing tools. Tip: I suggest different colored pens.
- Suggested: A printer to printout worksheets.
I have List on Amazon with some of my favorites. Please take a few minutes to look at the tools needed.
Disclosure: I have decided to join Amazons Affiliate program to help offset some of my operating costs. Any purchases you make using the Amazon links will result in a small commission for me with no cost to you.
