Want a reminder on every saving day until Ramadan?
The calendar file works without an account. Reminders need a free account so we know where to send them.- Print the staples list from the file and buy the basics two weeks before Ramadan.
- Check the 1448 AH zakat al-Fitr amount when the Iftaa Department announces it, and update the file.
- Prepare eidiya envelopes two days before Eid, and pay zakat al-Fitr before the Eid prayer.
Arithmetic only: items = quantity × price; equal weekly saving from today to the day before 1 Ramadan, the last deposit adjusts. The date is calculated (tabular Hijri calendar). Zakat al-Fitr of JOD 1.800 is the 1447 AH figure (Iftaa Department, decision 331). Examples are not average prices. Not financial or religious advice.
