Ramadan is the 9th month of Muslim calendar.During this month all Muslims keep fast from sunrise till sunset. In the evening and in the morning before the suns down and suns up people eat small meals. People fast the entire month. During this month they take extra time for family, inner reflection and spiritual grows. In this month the saint book The Holy Quran was sent down from heaven.
Observing the fasting for a fixed number of days but any if you ill or on a journey the same number should be made up from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty (old men) they have choice to fast or to feed a poor person fo every day. Allah says about fasting person «He has left his food, drink and desires for my sake”. The fast is for me. So i ‘ll reward the fasting person for it and reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times
Ramadan is a Holy Month and good chance to make good deeds and charity things. People must make good deeds and help to poor and disable people in their comunities. We had one activity helping hands tree. We draw our hand on a piece of paper and cut it.then students write one good deed which they have done.One wrote how he helped the old woman to carry her bags, one give water to thirsty old man, another one said how she gave her old clothes to poor children and etc. Students also learned the surah Al-Fatiha in English.And made a charity jar where from the begining month of Ramadan students in our school put coin and money there. At the end we will collect it anf give to poor children.
We had a lesson devoted to Ramadan month on the 26th of September.Students read about Ramadan month, and why we keep fast, and about Qadr night, Eid ulAl fitr and of course sing song about Ramadan and recited poems.Madina and Olim sang the song of Michael Jackson “Give thanks to Allah”.You can find our lesson plan devoted to Ramadan in this link http://www.risol.tj/english/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=326&Itemid=76
