FOR CHILDREN - LEARNING ABOUT RAMADAN
Ramazan Masalları5 minages 3-8
Ramadan teaches fasting, gratitude, kind speech, worship, sharing blessings, and caring for people in need.
What the tale is about
Ramadan arrives at home with blessings, joy, and a spirit of sharing. During one day of fasting, children wake for sahur, eat after saying the Basmala, and make their intention before beginning the fast. Until the evening call to prayer, they avoid food and drink while trying to do good and speak kindly. At iftar, they pray, eat, perform the evening prayer, and later observe Tarawih. Fitrah helps families share food or its value with people in need, reminding everyone of brotherhood. The day ends by learning the meaning of the iftar prayer taught by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
