Introduction for Parents. In the name of Allah the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. This year the Muslim world will live through another unique Ramadhan. We will experience this blessed month in relative isolation from our communities, friends and in many cases even family members. We will experience a Ramadhan without some of the distinctions which ordinarily make Ramadhan so special. Our Ramadhan will be largely restricted to our own homes, with only our closest family members as close company. As Muslims, we believe all this is due to a wisdom which only Allah knows – perhaps this will cause us to appreciate our Islam, communities and the Masaajid even more. In such situations, the Muslims must pull together and help each other, in line with the saying of Allah, {By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience} [Soorah Al-Asr] This booklet has been compiled (and updated for Ramadhan 2021) in an effort to make our children’s Ramadhan more fruitful. It has been designed for 7 to 11 year olds, however if your child is younger or not able to read fluently, they can still benefit from the booklet if you help them with the reading and understanding. There are 30 different activities, one for each day of Ramadhan and should only take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. After completing each of the quizzes or puzzles, encourage your child to check the answers (in the answer booklet, found on our website: www.IslamNelson.com/Resources) straight away and make corrections in a different coloured pen. The corrections will then stand out so they can review and learn from their mistakes. In ending, I would like to thank my wife for proof reading the draft and advising me on some alterations. I must also thank my children for their input and help. Any remaining mistakes are from myself and shaytaan. May Allah accept this humble effort. Of course, no book is perfect – asides the noble book of Allah, so if you have any thoughts, find any mistakes or you have suggestions for future versions, we would welcome them. Please email us your thoughts to: Academy@IslamNelson.co.uk Abu Mus’ab Nelson, Lancashire, UK 16th March 2021
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR FIRST FAST Why do we fast? We have to always remind ourselves that we are fasting for the sake of Allah alone, to please Him and to attain reward from Him. What is the benefit of fasting? The main benefit is for us to become better Muslims. Whilst we are fasting, it’s not just about not eating and drinking, but we have to control what we say, what we listen to and what we watch. What other acts of worship can I do during Ramadhan? Ramadhan is known as the month of the Qur’an. This is because in Ramadhan, we fast and we also increase how much Qur’an we read. Many people finish reciting the Qur’an a few times during Ramadhan. So set yourself a target – how much will you finish? We should also make as much Dua as we can whilst we are fasting, always remember Allah, say Dhikr and fulfil all our Prayers. Are there any special times to make Dua in Ramadhan? We can make Dua anytime in the day and night, however there are some special times for Dua as well. They include: before breaking the fast, in your Sujood and after the Adhan. Who should I make Dua for? Make Dua for yourself, and make Dua for every person you love. Firstly, your parents and also brothers and sisters, grandparents, and all your relatives. Do not forget your friends and neighbours. If you know of an ill, lonely or poor person, make Dua for them. How can I be a better Muslim during Ramadhan? Think about which actions please Allah – do them. Think about which actions makes Allah angry – do not do them. Also, try to learn and read more about Islam. How can I have a healthy Ramadhan? During long hot days, you have to make sure you drink plenty of water before you begin your fast and after you break your fast. Make sure you eat your Suhoor meal, do not over eat at Iftar time and swap fizzy drinks for water. Also remember to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.
RAMADHAN DAY 01 PILLARS OF ISLAM The most important actions of Islam are known as the 5 pillars of Islam. As soon as we are old enough, we have to make sure we do them. From the list below, tick the 5 pillars of Islam. Then, on a separate piece of paper, draw a small picture that represents each pillar. Being a good person Paying Zakah (Charity) Fasting in Ramadhan Reading the Qur’an Praying 5 times a day Helping your parents Shahadah: Believing that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone and Muhammad ﷺis His messenger. Hajj Going shopping with mum Once you have finished drawing the pictures, ask an adult in your home to guess which picture matches with each pillar. How many did they guess correctly? Thought of the day Every time you make Dua, do not forget the most important people in your life – your parents. Which Dua will you make for them next time?
RAMADHAN DAY 02 RAMADHAN DECORATIONS It is important that our houses are always clean and tidy, and smelling nice. When there is a happy event such as Eid or a new baby, we can make our houses nice by decorating them. We can also decorate our houses when Ramadhan comes. Today, we are going to make our own decorative paper lantern! You will need: 1) A4 card (or Paper) 2) Stapler (or Glue/Glue stick/Sellotape) 3) Scissors Ask an adult to log onto the following address: www.IslamNelson.co.uk/Resources After scrolling down the page, you will find our 5 minute video demonstrating how to make the lantern in just 6 easy steps. Written Instructions: Step 1: Layout the A4 sheet as landscape. Step 2: Cut out a 2cm strip from the shorter end. Step 3: Fold the main sheet in half along the long edge. Step 4: Make cuts 2cm apart on the folded side. Step 5: Open the sheet and staple (or glue) together the shorter edges. Step 6: Use the strip to make the handle by stapling each end to the top of the lantern. Thought of the day Cleaning the house is not only your mum’s responsibility, we have to all do our share of the work. What can you do every day to make the cleaning easier?
RAMADHAN DAY 03 FIVE DAILY PRAYERS In Arabic, the 5 Daily Prayers are called Salah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺsaid regarding them, “The difference between us (Muslims) and them (non-Muslims) is the Salah. Whoever leaves it has disbelieved.” [1] When you are 7 years old you have to start praying regularly, and after 10 years old you are not allowed to miss a Prayer. This is because the prayer is one of the main differences between a Muslim and a non-Muslim. In the boxes on the left, write the 5 daily prayers in order. Next, match each prayer with the correct number of Fardh Raka’aat by drawing a line between the boxes on the left with the numbered boxes on the right. Reminder of spellings: Isha - Maghrib - Fajr - Dhuhr - Asr 1st Salah: 4 Raka’aat 2nd Salah: 4 Raka’aat 3rd Salah: 2 Raka’aat 4th Salah: 4 Raka’aat 5th Salah: 3 Raka’aat Thought of the day When you stand to pray, remember you are praying to Allah; when you say anything in Salah, you are saying it to Allah. Remember that every time you are about to pray.
RAMADHAN DAY 04 OUR PARENTS Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺsaid, “The pleasure of the Lord is in the pleasure of the parents, and the displeasure of the Lord is in the displeasure of the parents.” [2] This means that when your parents are pleased and happy with you then Allah is also pleased and happy with you. If your parents are angry and not happy with you then Allah is also angry and not happy with you. Today, make your parents extra happy by writing them a small thank you note for all the things they have done for you. You could begin with: Dear parents, ..……………………………………….......... ……………………………………………………………………... ……………………………………………………………………... ……………………………………………………………………... ……………………………………………………………………... ……………………………………………………………………... ……………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………… Thought of the day Whatever we do for our parents, we will never be able to repay them for the amount of goodness they have done for us. But try to do a small kind action for them every day, and never forget them in your Duas.
RAMADHAN DAY 05 ISLAMIC MESSAGE The Prophet ﷺused to always encourage people to do good actions, and there are different ways to encourage people to do good. Today we are going to Design a T-shirt so it has an Islamic message to encourage people to do a good deed that is pleasing to Allah. Thought of the day Remember, actions speak louder than words. What actions can you think of that you could perform so it gives people an Islamic message?

RAMADHAN DAY 14 HELPING OTHERS The Prophet Muhammad ﷺsaid: “…Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother…” [5] This means if you keep helping your Muslim brother or sister then Allah will keep helping you.

RAMADHAN DAY 15 DANGERS OF SHIRK Qur’an: “Indeed, Allah does not forgive association [shirk] with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin”. [4:48] This means that shirk (making partners with Allah) is such a bad thing that Allah will not forgive someone who does this if they do not ask for forgiveness before they pass away. Although, Allah may forgive us for some of the other bad things we may do. Can you tell the difference between some of the 5 different types of shirk below and other bad things that are not shirk? Make a line between the ‘shirk’ box in the middle and its different types. One has been completed for you.

There are many different types of Shirk. It is important we study this subject in detail so that we can always stay away from all types of Shirk.
RAMADHAN DAY 16 MAZE PUZZLE Can you help little Mus’ab quickly escape the market place and find his way to the Masjid on time for the prayer? The Prophet Muhammad ﷺsaid: “Whoever purifies himself in his house then walks to one of the houses of Allah in order to perform one of the duties enjoined by Allah, for every two steps he takes, one will erase a sin and the other will raise him one degree in status”[6] Thought of the day Remember this hadith every time you make wudu in your house then walk to the Masjid, for example, to pray. Insha’Allah every two steps you take, Allah will forgive you for something bad that you did & He will increase your position.
RAMADHAN DAY 17 SUHOOR MEAL As we are now more than half way through Ramadhan, some people may begin to feel lazy and not get up in time to have the Suhoor meal before fasting. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺsaid, “The Suhoor is a blessed meal, so do not abandon it even if you take only a sip of water. Verily, Allah and his angels send blessings upon those who take the Suhoor.” [7] Draw your own Suhoor meal below. Remember to keep it healthy! Thought of the day Along with following the Sunnah, there is lots of wisdom in taking the Suhoor meal. It gives us strength to worship Allah & helps us avoid a bad mood due to being very hungry. Can you think of others?
RAMADHAN DAY 18 RECOGNISING OPPOSITES Using a pencil and ruler, draw a line to match each of the words on the left to its ‘opposite’ on the right. One has been completed for you. Tawheed Bida’h Fajr Eid Ramadhan Shirk Sunnah Jahanam Halal Isha Jannah Iftar Masjid Market Place Fardh Haraam Suhoor Nafal Thought of the day It is useful to learn about the opposites to good actions so that we can stay away from these.
RAMADHAN DAY 19 TAKING PRECAUTIONS A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, should I tie my camel and trust in Allah, or should I leave her untied and trust in Allah?” The Prophet ﷺsaid, “Tie her and trust in Allah.” [8] This shows we should always trust Allah in helping and keeping us safe. However, at the same time, we must also be careful and do what we are able to do ourselves (take precautions) to keep us safe. Can you circle at least 10 dangerous hazards in little Nusaybah’s family kitchen to help keep her and her family safe? Thought of the day How can you help keep things safe in your home? Think of things that may seem safe but could potentially be a cause of danger. Do what you can to reduce the danger.
RAMADHAN DAY 20 LAYLATUL QADAR (THE NIGHT OF POWER) Laylatul Qadar is a special night that could be on any odd night in the last 10 nights of Ramadhan. It is better than 1000 months! We should do extra good deeds on these nights, hoping one of them will be Laylatul Qadar, so that we may be rewarded hugely by Allah. Put an up arrow next to the things which we could do even more of during the odd nights of Ramadhan and put a down arrow next to the things we should do less of or not at all.

What extra worship will you do tonight?
RAMADHAN DAY 21 PLANTING AND SOWING IN ISLAM The Prophet Muhammad ﷺsaid, “There is no Muslim who plants a tree or sows seeds and then a bird, or a person, or an animal eats from it except that it is regarded as a charity for him.” [9] This shows that growing plants and trees from which living creatures eat, is something Allah loves for us to do and He will reward us for it. Plan your own garden by drawing fruits and vegetables you would like to grow in the two rows of vegetable patches above. Thought of the day Why not gain extra reward on this day of Ramadhan by growing your own plant? Take the seed from an apple and plant it in a small pot. Later, once it sprouts, you can move it into a garden.
RAMADHAN DAY 22 THE STRONG BELIEVER The Prophet Muhammad ﷺsaid, “The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them...” [10] Draw a tick next to things that make us stronger (physically & mentally) & a cross next to those that make us weaker. Two have been completed. Riding a bike Being sad Using a car for short Always trusting Allah journeys Controlling our anger Sleeping too much Eating healthy Eating too much Eating lots of sweets Going to bed late Exercising Walking Eating fruit and Drinking fizzy drinks vegetables Drinking water Being positive Following the Sunnah Playing computer of the Prophet ﷺ games for hours Thought of the day Which of the above actions will you begin to do more regularly so you can become a stronger believer?

RAMADHAN DAY 24 MEMORISE PART OF AN AYAH Qur’an: “So remember Me; I will remember you…” [2:152] This means as long as we remember Allah then Allah will remember us. When Allah remembers us, He will help us and keep us safe and happy. Fazkurooni Azkurkum Learn and memorise the words above from the Qur’an (in Arabic and in English), so it will help you remember Allah more. Ask your parents to test you on it for the next 3 days.
