Welcome, Ramadan: A Ramadan Iftar Poem for Children
Ramazan Masalları2 minages 3-8
Ramadan teaches patience, worship, sharing, generosity, gratitude, and the joyful meaning of welcoming others to the iftar table.
What the tale is about
Ramadan, the blessed sultan of the eleven months, arrives in homes with patience, mercy, and joy. Children and believers wait through the day for iftar, happily making room at their tables for others. Worship increases, believers turn to Allah together in tarawih prayer, and generosity flows through acts of charity. When the call to prayer rises from the minarets, iftar begins with “Bismillah” and continues with gratitude through “Alhamdulillah.” A warm poem celebrates Ramadan’s blessings, sharing, and prayer, while recalling the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)’s teaching that charity given in Ramadan is especially virtuous.
