The fast ends at sunset
Laylatul qadr; 1 night is greater
than 1000 months!
Fast with your whole body (explain to
children what this means)
We should try extra hard to be good Muslims as shaitan is locked
up
Why not go Eid shopping and
buy presents for friends!
When we break our fast it is called
“Iftar”
We should make a lot of duaa in
Ramadan
It is good to give sadaqah in
Ramadan
Ask your Mum if you can have a Suhoor party
tonight!
Why not have an Iftar party
tonight?
When we break our fast we should say “Thank you” to
Allaah for giving us food to break
our fast
If you’re old enough, see if you can fast, or try to fast for half a day!
New moon tells us it is Ramadan Eid Mubarak!
Try to be nice to other people
Try to read Qur’an every day
Go to the Mosque as much as you
can
Try to pray your Salah on time
Ramadan is the ninth month of the
Islamic Calendar
It is recommended to break your fast with a date fruit
The Qur’an was revealed on one of
the nights of Qadr
Don’t forget to remind your Mum and Dad to give your gift on Eid!
Look out for the crescent moon
to find out when it’s Eid!
Fasting means no eating and no
drinking
Try extra hard to listen to your Mum and Dad
