Lyrics

Assalamu alaikum Sumayya. Wa alaikum assalam Ali. What are you doing? I'm getting ready for Ramadan inshallah. Oh, what do you know about Ramadan so far Sumayya? Ramadan is the special month when Allah revealed the Holy Quran. He told us in the Quran to fast. And fasting is not eating or drinking from sunrise to sunset. This makes me remember the poor who don't have the same blessings that I do. Yes, that's right Sumayya. MashaAllah. But Ramadan is not just about fasting. It's also about taqwa. Taqwa? What's taqwa? Taqwa is to think about Allah before you do anything. If you think something will make Allah happy, then do it. But if you don't think it will make Allah happy, then don't do it. Oh, I think I've got some taqwa then, because I think about Allah a lot. Alhamdulillah. That's really good Sumayya. Ali, but when I'm fasting, I might get really thirsty when I'm playing. Can I have a little juice? Mummy doesn't see me. But Sumayya, remember, who are we fasting for? Oh, I remember. I'm fasting for Allah, and he sees me all the time. And if I drink when I shouldn't, he won't be happy with that, isn't it Ali? Exactly Sumayya, you've got it. That's taqwa. Really? The best thing Sumayya is to practice fasting little by little, so you can get used to it. You'll love fasting and doing good deeds, because it makes you feel really good inside. Yes Ali, that sounds great. Can we start practicing now? Yes Sumayya. I've also got a special app that can help us do lots of good deeds in Ramadan. But we have to use it every day. That sounds fun. Let's go.
