As we watch for the moon to welcome the Holy month of Ramadhan, lets ponder on this wonderful creation of Allah. The moon gets its light from the sun. That is amazing Share little facts about the moon with your child. Watch the moon progress over the month to a giant shiny ball and then a crescent again. Allow your child to awe at this amazing creation of Allah. Explain little things like how we follow the lunar calendar. Explain how the moon orbits the earth. It does not have any light of its own. We can pray on the moon. The Earth’s tides are caused by the pull of the moon. Use this activity to allow children to feel connected to Allah’s plan and how amazing He is.
