🕌 Top Books to Read After Ramadan: Keep the Spiritual Momentum Going By Islamic Global Library

Ramadan may be over, but your spiritual journey doesn't end here. In fact, what you do after Ramadan can be even more meaningful. Whether you're a new Muslim, a lifelong believer, or just beginning to explore Islam, these books can help you stay inspired, connected, and growing throughout the year.

Here are some of the best books to read after Ramadan — many of which you can find right here at Islamic Global Library or through our partners.

1. Reclaim Your Heart by Yasmin Mogahed

💭 Best for: Personal growth and emotional healing

This is the perfect book for that post-Ramadan emotional reset. Yasmin Mogahed shares beautiful insights on detachment, pain, purpose, and spiritual realignment — especially after the reflective month of fasting. A great book for those who want to stay spiritually grounded in a chaotic world.

2. Purification of the Heart by Imam al-Mawlud (translated by Hamza Yusuf)

💗 Best for: Deepening your spiritual purification

Ramadan helps us cleanse the heart — but how do we maintain that? This classical text explores diseases of the heart (like jealousy, pride, anger) and offers cures rooted in Islamic wisdom. It’s scholarly yet accessible and highly reflective.

3. In the Footsteps of the Prophet by Tariq Ramadan

🕋 Best for: Learning about the Prophet ï·ș in daily life

What better way to continue your post-Ramadan spiritual growth than by studying the Prophet Muhammad’s life and character? This book is not a biography — it’s a heart-centered journey through his manners, mercy, and daily habits.

4. Secrets of Divine Love by A. Helwa

🌙 Best for: New Muslims and spiritual seekers

This book has become a favorite for those new to Islam or coming back to faith. It’s poetic, emotionally intelligent, and deeply spiritual. Helwa explores the beauty of God’s love and what it means to truly surrender to Allah. It’s a page-turner — especially for those feeling post-Ramadan spiritual hunger.

5. Qur'an Translation + Tafsir (Pick one that fits your level)

📖 Best for: Building your connection to the Qur'an

Don’t stop reading the Qur’an after Ramadan. Choose a good English (or Japanese, Spanish, or Malay!) translation — or a tafsir (explanation) that walks you through the meaning.
👉 We recommend:

  • The Clear Quran by Dr. Mustafa Khattab
  • Tafsir Ibn Kathir (for intermediate readers)
  • Qur’an for Kids (with activities) for younger readers

6. Post-Ramadan Planner (FREE Download)

📝 Best for: Turning intentions into actions

If you enjoyed structure during Ramadan (salah tracking, goal-setting, journaling), keep it going with a Post-Ramadan Spiritual Planner.

7. Books for Children: Keep the Spirit Alive

👧 Best for: Teaching kids Islamic values year-round

Don’t forget the little ones! We recommend:

  • 📘 Mashallah Cat – The Little Pink Hijab (our favorite pick for early readers!)
  • 📗 My First Book of Islamic Months
  • 📙 Eid is Here! – A Story of Gratitude
  • 📕 30 Hadith for Kids

🎁 These are also great Eid gifts for your child, your niece/nephew, or your friend’s kids.

8. Japanese, Spanish & Malay Translations of Islamic Books

🌏 Best for: Spreading knowledge globally

If you’re exploring Islam from outside the English-speaking world, don’t worry — we’ve got you. Explore our selection of books translated into:

  • đŸ‡ŻđŸ‡” Japanese
  • đŸ‡Ș🇾 Spanish
  • đŸ‡ČđŸ‡Ÿ Malay
