Overview
Ramadan & Fasting Fundamentals at Al-Nahda Academy is a beginner-friendly course that introduces students to the significance of Ramadan and the essential teachings related to fasting in Islam.
Students explore the purpose of fasting, who is required to fast, how to prepare for the fasting day, and the basic rules that govern fasting. Lessons also cover Suhoor, Iftar, common questions about what invalidates a fast, recognised exemptions, and the importance of seeking reliable guidance when personal circumstances affect fasting obligations.
Beyond the legal essentials, learners discover ways to make Ramadan more meaningful through Qur'an recitation, prayer, charity, patience, gratitude, self-discipline, and good manners. Age-appropriate discussions and practical activities help students apply what they learn at home and in everyday life.
The course is suitable for children, teenagers, adults, and beginners who want a clear foundation in Ramadan and fasting. Detailed rulings should be taught according to the school's stated Fiqh approach, with recognised differences explained respectfully.
