This booklet is FREE, however we would encourage you to donate just £2 voluntarily, to sponsor 1 more hot meal
amongst the many hot meals our charity, Humanity Care Relief (Nelson, Lancashire, UK), is regularly distributing to NHS
workers and vulnerable people during the current coronavirus crisis in the UK. We can then continue to demonstrate
our support and appreciation of them. www.HumanityCareRelief.org.uk/CoronaVirusAppeal
This year the Muslim world will live a unique Ramadhan, perhaps one which we have never experienced before. We will
experience this blessed month in isolation from our communities, friends and in many cases even family members. We
will experience Ramadhan without Taraweeh prayers, I’tikaaf, communal iftar, attending lectures in our local Masjid and
many other distinctions which make Ramadhan so special.
Our Ramadhan will be restricted to our own homes, with only our closest family members as 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 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 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. After completing each of the quizzes or puzzles, encourage your child to
check the answers (in the answer booklet) 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:

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.
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.
Shahadah: Believing that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah
alone and Muhammad ﷺis His messenger.
Once you have finished drawing the pictures, ask an adult in your home to
guess which picture matches with each pillar.
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.
Here you will find our 5 minute video demonstrating how to make the lantern in
just 6 easy steps.
Written Instructions:
Step 3: Fold the main sheet in half along the long edge.
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.
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.
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.

Muslims have a long history of inventing things. Did you know the first camera,
windmill, soap and even the numbers we all write were invented by Muslims.
Today, you are going to design an invention which is going to change the world! This could
be a helpful machine that would make life easier or solve a problem people face, like a
faster way of travelling. Draw and label your idea below.
Use a ruler and a pencil to complete this dot to dot activity to reveal
the image. Start from 1 in the bottom left and continue to 94. After
you have finished, colour it in to make it look even more beautiful.
Draw a tick next to the people mentioned below who do not need to fast.
However, anyone who misses a fast should make it up after Ramadhan if they
can.
If they are not able to make it up (for example if they have a long-term illness or
are very old and will find it too difficult), then they should feed a poor person for
every fast they missed in Ramadhan.
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. This includes helping your family.
On this 14th day of Ramadhan, do at least one extra thing to help your family
without them having to ask you. There are some ideas below.
Wash up
Take care of your younger brother or sister by playing a game they like
Ask your parents to phone your grandparents so you can speak to them and
help make them happy
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.

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]
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Exercising Walking
List or draw what you would do to help make the world a better
place, if Allah made you very rich and blessed you with a million
pounds! Start off by deciding on amazing Eid gifts for your family.
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.
