The challenge
Ramadan pieces are used every day for a month and then put away, so they have to be legible at a dinner table, robust to handling, and quiet enough to sit with any tableware. The bookmark had a second job: to track a reading through the whole Quran.
The approach
A deep navy ground with a faint geometric pattern gives the set weight without decoration. The dua cards put one job on each card, the fasting duas on the first and the three ashra duas on the second, each with the Arabic above a small English line. The Iqra bookmark uses the single word as the design; its partner lists the thirty juz by their opening words in two columns, so the reader marks progress by moving the bookmark.
The outcome
Sold as sets through the Etsy shop.
