Dear Community Members Assalamu Alaikum:
During the blessed month of Ramadan, many children will choose to fast although not obligatory on them. Fasting for many children serves as a means of taking part in Ramadan, allowing them to develop their spiritual connection with Allah SWT from an early age. We as a community should recognize their efforts and achievements in fasting.
If your child ages between 5-12, is fasting and you would like to recognize their efforts at IFN, please contact Rameen Rakhangi at [email protected] with the childs full name and age. Rameen Rakhangi has been helping with coordinating the effort for the last several years, Mashallah. Your child's name(s) will be displayed on the IFN LCD Display Panels throughout Ramadan and they will get a token of appreciation from IFN at the end of Ramadan.
The objective is to encourage their efforts and reward them with a well-deserved treat during Ramadan. May Allah (SWT) give us strength, guidance to fast in the most righteous way and make this Ramadan joyful and rewarding for our community. Aameen.
Sincerely,
Jazakallah Khair,
Zeeshan
