What is Ramadan? ❓

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. During this month, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. This means they do not eat or drink during the day. But Ramadan is not just about abstaining from food. It is also a time to improve one's character, do good deeds, and get closer to God.

A Short Story: Sami’s Ramadan 📖

A Young Boy’s First Steps into the Spirit of Ramadan

Sami, a seven-year-old boy, was very excited. This year, he wanted to be like the grown-ups and take part in Ramadan. But how could he fast all day when he often felt hungry after just a few hours?

His mother smiled at him and said: — "You can start with a small fast, like a 'morning fast' until noon. What matters is not just avoiding food, but also being kind, patient, and generous."

Sami was happy! He decided to spend his day helping his little brother, tidying up his toys, and drawing a picture for his dad. He eagerly waited for snack time to share a big glass of milk and a date with his mom.

That evening, his dad congratulated him: — "Well done, Sami! Today, you learned that Ramadan is above all a month of kindness and sharing."

Sami smiled. He had understood that the most important thing was not just avoiding food, but filling his heart with good actions!

And you, what good deeds would you like to do during Ramadan? 🌟
