In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

 

Thank you for your good question. May you have a happy and blessed Ramadan, ameen.

 

In Ramadan, Muslims are encouraged to more productive and contributing at their professions, work, or studies.

 

Fasting helps us maintain time management and discipline. So, we are supposed to focus more in achieving our objectives in the month of Ramadan.

 

Studying and seeking knowledge are among the good deeds that are highly valued and rewarded in Islam.

 

Safwan ibn `Assal (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Surely, Angels spread their wings for joy and pleasure with the knowledge seeker.” (Ahmad)

 

Also, Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “If one treads a path in order to seek knowledge, Allah will make easy for him the (way) to enter Paradise.”

 

Given the above, you are to be commended for your efforts in studying while observing the fast of Ramadan. Try your best to perfectly achieve your study goals, which are valuable good deeds, and to observe the obligatory fasting of Ramadan.

 

Studying is not a valid excuse in itself for a student to break the fast. However, if a student experiences an extreme hardship during a daytime of Ramadan due to fasting, then he or she may break the fast and make up for this day later.

 

One has to do his or her best in this regard. Allah Almighty says, {So fear Allah as much as you could…} (At-Taghabun 64:16)

 

May Allah accept your and our good deeds, ameen.

 

Allah Almighty knows best.
