Ramadan Goals That Actually Make Sense for Teens

Written By Zarinah Raheem

Ramadan goals don’t need to be extreme to be meaningful. The best goals are realistic, personal, and consistent. Allah loves small deeds done regularly more than big deeds that don’t last.

What Makes a Good Ramadan Goal?

A good goal is:

  • Achievable

  • Specific

  • Honest

Instead of saying, “I’ll do everything,” try goals like:

  • Pray one extra salāh on time each day

  • Read one page of Qur’an daily

  • Reduce social media by 15 minutes

  • Attend the masjid for one of your prayers

Avoiding Burnout

Trying to do too much can lead to quitting halfway. It’s okay to grow slowly. Progress matters more than pressure.

Make Duʿāʾ Part of Your Goals

Talk to Allah about your struggles, hopes, and fears. Duʿāʾ doesn’t need fancy words—Allah understands your heart.

Takeaway: Your effort, no matter how small, is seen by Allah. Choose goals that help you grow—not give up.
