Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents,
I would like to wish you Ramadan Kareem and Mubarak and may Allah accept your fasting and your Ibadah.
I would like to ask you to please remember TIA in your Duaa this month. We have a shared responsibility to raise our children and with the opportunities of the sacred month of Ramadan
the blessings abound. The joy and privilege of working for the sake of Allah (SWT) are indescribable. Alhamdulillah for TIA’s dedicated team and its commitment to excellence in education. You, our parents have a big part in this through your Duaa, and your continued support.
Some ideas on how to have your children maximize their Ramadan experience:
The Prophet SAWS said: I love to be in a state of fasting when my deeds are presented to Allah. We can remind ourselves of this idea and use it to elevate the state of fasting in the children’s eyes.
The Prophet SAWS taught us that the first ten days of Ramadan are Mercy – Rahma. Let us model merciful values and behavior towards our children and towards others so they witness the greatness of our religion in action.
The Prophet SAWS taught us that evil and distractions are chained away to avoid temptations. Let our children reflect on their actions and dig deep to learn to control their nafs (Inner soul) and make the most of this sacred time by dedicating themselves to the pleasing of Allah SWT.
The Prophet SAWS taught us that the middle ten days of Ramadan are well suited for forgiveness. Let us help our children forgive themselves first, and pledge to become better practicing Muslims to lighten the burden on themselves and on each other.
The learned scholars of Islam taught us that FASTING is a holistic experience. It encompasses abstaining from food, drink, and pleasure. It is also an experience to abstain from bad and addictive habits.
Let us ease our children off some of the bad habits and set up for successful change and
improvements.
Ramadan is a time where our children should experience living a special time where ibadah takes center stage. As parents, take the opportunity to support them and show them how Ramadan despite its hardship can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Thank you
Nadjette Lazzouni
