Participation in this event will earn the student 2 credits and this activity will start on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan and end on the last day of the month. 

 

Kids who are under the Islamic age of Taklif are invited to participate in this Ramadan Challenge, as follows:

 

1-Girls under 9 lunar years according to the Islamic Hijri calendar.

2-Boys under 15 lunar years according to the Islamic Hijri calendar, OR if they reach Buloogh beforehand due to appearance of physical signs.

 

Purpose of this challenge is two-fold:

1-Prepare the young children to fasting in the holy month of Ramadan (sunrise to sunset), before they reach Taklif age. Early preparation is better than facing challenge at the time of obligation.

 

2-Enable the children to share in the spirit of fasting of the holy month and to reap the benefits of fasting alongside the elders in their family. Fasting is also a means of behavioral discipline that teaches a person how to control desires and put God first.

 

CHALLENGE: To Fast a minimum of 24 days in the month of Ramadan, per Islamic definition of fasting. Intention should be for the sake of getting closer to Allah the Almighty.

 **Winners will be awarded at the the conclusion of the holy month.

Registration nominal fee for this program is $15 (non-refundable) which will be a sign of your commitment to the challenge. Your contribution in this holy month will be sent as a donation directly to charity organization, Kareema Care, and will be allocated specifically to support a campaign for Those in Need.
