Publisher's Synopsis
Aisha and Ramadan Fasting
Once upon a time, there was a Muslim girl named Aisha who was almost a teenager, but not yet! She was very excited because Ramadan was just around the corner. Aisha loved Ramadan because it was a time to reflect on Allah's blessings, to pray more, and to spend time with her family. The first day of Ramadan arrived, and Aisha woke up before dawn to eat her suhoor meal. She knew that she needed to eat well because she would be fasting all day until sunset. Aisha was determined to complete her fast, just like her parents. Throughout the day, Aisha felt a little bit hungry and thirsty, but she reminded herself that this was only temporary. She spent her day doing good deeds, reciting the Quran, and helping her mother with chores.As the sun began to set, Aisha eagerly waited for the call to prayer (azaan). When it finally came, she broke her fast with a date and some water, just like the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to do.
Aisha's family then gathered around the dinner table to eat their iftar meal. They had delicious food, but Aisha's favorite part was the feeling of togetherness and gratitude that filled the room.
After dinner, Aisha went to the mosque for the evening prayer. She listened to the imam's reminder of the importance of charity and kindness during Ramadan. As Aisha prepared for bed, she felt proud of herself for completing her first day of fasting. She knew that it would be challenging, but she also knew that with Allah's help, she could do it.
Aisha continued to fast throughout Ramadan, and each day became easier as she grew stronger in her faith. She prayed, read the Quran, and helped those in need, just like the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught.
When Eid al-Fitr finally arrived, Aisha celebrated with her family and friends. She felt a sense of accomplishment for completing her fast and a renewed sense of devotion to Allah. From that day forward, Aisha continued to practice her faith, knowing that Ramadan had strengthened her mind, body, and soul. And whenever she faced a challenge, she remembered the lessons of Ramadan and the strength that came from fasting and devotion to Allah.
