7. Ramadan
Fasting in Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam and is amongst the most important acts of worship. Many young Muslims will be fasting during their exams. Although the month can be very intense it’s important that students are wise about how they conduct themselves.
Fasting is an obligation which Muslims adhere to but there are elements of the month that are not as essential. So students who are taking exams should think about making sure that they are well hydrated and eat well in the morning. They should continue with their preparation for exams and avoid doing anything strenuous while they are fasting.
They should make sure that they sleep well even if it means missing some of the non-obligatory prayers done during the night.
It is advisable to take a short afternoon nap which helps break up the fasting day and replenish your energy. However prolonged hours of deep sleep will be counter- productive and may make a person lethargic and lazy.

8. Ramadan
For staff they should make sure that there is good air circulation in their rooms and could provide a quiet place for students to rest and revise for lunch and break.
Students are advised to avoid big family gatherings during their exam time.
Fasting does add an extra challenge for those doing exams. Therefore it’s important that you are smart with your time and avoid cramming last minute revision. Stick to the timetable you have set yourself. When you are tired spend that time working on practicing the skills and application needed for the exam. Avoid staying up all night revising could do more harm than good.
Make sure you are not working in complete isolation and you have a supportive team around you consisting of friends who also want to work hard.
