We get blessings from fasting in Ramadan! We can practice fasting using this chart. Since
some of us are still too young to fast every day, we can do half-fasts to practice. Color in the
box for each day with whether you did a full fast, half-day fast, or didn’t fast at all. Write
DAY 1: A GIFT FROM AllahThe month of Ramadan is here! Allah gave us the month of Ramadan as a gift. All of our
rewards and blessings are multiplied. Draw yourself receiving blessings from Allah! Try to
think of all the things you are thankful for!

Even though Shaytan is locked up, it is still possible for us to do wrong things. If we use
our willpower, we can start to replace bad habits with good habits!
Write down or draw that you sometimes do that is wrong, and promise Allah not to do it
Now write down or draw some good habits you can replace your bad habits with!
During the month of Ramadan, Allah locks Shaytan away so he does not whisper to us. Allah
wants his believing superheroes to become better heroes without any distractions during
this special month. Connect the dots to lock Shaytan up!

day 3: A LOVE LETTER FOR ALLAHRamadan is month of Allah’s love. Allah loves us so much that during Ramadan all of our
good deeds rewards are worth double and sometimes even more than that! One way we
can show our appreciation to Allah for His gift is by doing more good deeds and worship.
Write or draw a short letter to Allah saying what good things you plan to do this Ramadan
to be better.

day 4: THE KEY TO THE FASTAllah’s biggest gift of love to us in the month of Ramadan is the act of fasting. When we
fast, it helps us develop good habits. Here are some of the habits we can build:
Taqwa
Taqwa means remembering that Allah is always there. We want to have so much love for Allah
that He becomes like a friend to us. When you know someone you love is watching, you want
to do what they like and stay away from what they do not like.
Awareness
Awareness means thinking about Allah wehenever we do something. We should always be
thinking about our actions. We should look at our good and bad habits and try to become
better each day.
Piety
Piety means that you believe in Allah. You do the good deeds Allah asks us to do and stay
away from what is haraam.
Love
Love is when you care about someone so much that you want to do what they like. We love
Allah so much that we want to do what Allah asks us to do and stay away from what He asks
us not to do. We know Allah knows what is best for us!
Unity
Unity in Islam is working together to please Allah. Allah wants us to help each other become
better Muslims!
Blessings
Blessings are gifts from Allah. We should be thankful for everything, from the air that we
breathe to the food on our table.
Compassion
Compassion means having love towards other people. We should try to help others, especially
the poor and the needy.

Allah knows what is best for us. He does not want some people to fast under certain
conditions. Here are some restrictions of fasting, when people may not be able to fast:
Young Age // can fast but isn’t required to
When a person becomes baligh, this means they have to do what is wajib, like fasting in
Ramadan. Before this time, young children can fast if they want to, but they do not have to
Sick // required to fast but can skip
When someone is so sick that if they don’t eat and drink they will become worse, then they
can skip their fast in Ramadan while they are that sick. They have to make up their fasts later.
Traveling // not allowed to fast
When someone travels for a short time, they are not allowed to fast. However, some people
that travel very often or stay somewhere for more than 10 days still have to fast. They have to
make up their fasts later.
Monthly Break // not allowed to fast
When girls are closer to adulthood, their bodies go through changes. Sometimes this means
they are not allowed to fast. They have to make up their fasts later.
Pregnancy // required to fast but can skip
Moms who are pregnant might have to eat food and drink during the day to help the mom
and baby stay healthy. If a mom thinks her or the baby will be hurt by fasting, then she can
skip fasting during that time. She has to make up her fasts later.
Nursing a baby // required to fast but can skip
After a baby is born, it needs mom’s milk. Mom’s need energy to make the milk, so sometimes
they need food and water throughout the day. If the mom feels like the baby will be hurt by
fasting, then she can skip and make her fasts up later.
Old Age // required to fast but can skip
When a person gets old, sometimes they become too weak to fast. If they feel like their health
will get worse if they fast then they can skip fasting. They do not have to make up their fasts.

day 6: THINGS THAT BREAK
Like salah, fasting also can be broken by certain actions. There are many rules for when
an action can break your fast. Some simple actions we can avoid are eating and drinking!

day 7: HEROES AROUND THE WORLD SYRIA
Every culture has different Ramadan traditions. In Syria, there is a man who wakes up very
early in the morning to walk on the streets to wake people up for suhoor. This man is called
a “mas’harati”. He carries a drum and chants in a loud voice so people wake up on time. Find
the differences between the two mas’haratis and color them in!
