Every Ramadan starts the same way for me. The first three days are full of intention. I pray on time, I read more Quran than I have all year, I make real dua. Then somewhere around day eight, work happens, the kids happen, iftar becomes a scramble, and I look up on day twenty and realise I have lost the thread.
The problem was never the intention. The problem was that I had nowhere to put it. A plan in my head on the first night is gone by the second week. A plan on paper that I open every day after Fajr is still there on day twenty.
So this year I built the planner I kept meaning to buy and never quite found.
What it is
Forty-four pages, letter size, for the thirty days of Ramadan 2027. It is built around five things: salah on time, the Quran read with attention, duas made with specific words, meals that keep you well enough to worship, and one small deed a day.
Print it and bind it at any print shop, or open the PDF in Goodnotes or Notability and write on it directly.
What’s inside
Before Ramadan begins. One page, filled in the night before the first fast. Your intention, the one habit you want to keep after Eid, your Quran goal, the people you will make dua for every night, your sadaqah plan, and what you are cutting back on. This is the page you come back to on day fifteen when you have lost the thread.
Surah checklist. All 114, with a box next to each. Tick them as you go. All 114 ticked is one full khatm.
Dhikr tracker. Twelve daily remembrances across thirty days in one grid: morning and evening adhkar, istighfar, salawat, the tasbih after salah, Ayat al-Kursi, Surah Al-Mulk at night, the dua after the adhan, sadaqah.
30 daily challenges. One small deed a day in any order. Pray Fajr in the masjid. Call a relative you have not spoken to in a while. Teach a child one dua. Spend an hour with no phone after iftar. Pay for the person behind you.
Quran tracker. One juz a day finishes the Quran in thirty days. A box per day, with the odd nights of the last ten shaded.
Four weekly meal plans. Suhoor, iftar, and prep-ahead for every day of the week, with a grocery list, a freezer and batch-cook box, and a spot for iftar guests.
Thirty daily pages. This is the heart of it. One full page per day with salah (fard and sunnah), Quran, three things you are grateful for, the dua you are making today, suhoor and iftar, water, a good deed, mood, and notes. Days 21 to 29 carry a reminder on the odd nights.
The last ten nights. A page for each night with the dua of Laylatul Qadr at the top. Plan each night before Maghrib.
Eid preparation. A checklist that starts on day twenty, an Eid day plan, the Eid menu, and a gift list with budget and done boxes.
Duas for Ramadan. Five to keep close this month, with Arabic, transliteration and meaning: sighting the new moon, breaking the fast, the dua at iftar, Laylatul Qadr, and seeking forgiveness.
How I’d use it
Fill in the first page the night before Ramadan. Then every morning after Fajr, open the daily page and spend two minutes on it: what you are grateful for, the dua you are making, what you are cooking. Tick things as the day goes. At night, before sleep, the mood circles and the notes.
You will miss days. Everybody does. The planner is not a scorecard. It is a place to come back to, and a half-finished planner that gets opened on day twenty-eight is doing its job.

If you have little ones, the 30 Everyday Duas for Kids card set is the children’s version of the same idea: one dua a day, for the whole month.
