What is Ramadan:
▪️ Fasting was ordained by God before Islam, for followers of Jesus and Moses
▪️ Ramadan was the month in which Qur’an was first revealed
▪️ It begins on new moon Crescent of the 9th month
▪️ Ramadan begins when sun goes down and the new moon arrives
▪️ From dawn we fast, until sun goes down below the horizon
▪️ No eating or drinking when its daylight
▪️ Watch what you say and do, be kind and charitable
▪️ If you are ill or too old or on a journey you don’t have to fast
▪️ Children under 14 don’t need to fast, but some start earlier
▪️ It lasts for the whole moon month of Ramadan
▪️ Many Muslims go to the mosque for the night prayer (‘Eisha)
▪️ After ’Eisha prayers, the Qur’an is recited by the Imam through the nights of Ramadan
▪️ The last ten days are special, because that’s when the Qur’an was first revealed
▪️ Some people stay alone trying to get closer to God for the last ten days (I’tikaf)
▪️ Ramadan is 30 days, sometimes 29, depending on the next moon sighting
▪️ When the new moon of Shawwal (10th month) arrives it is Eid!
▪️ Eid means the Happy Returns!
▪️ It’s a day when everybody realises Ramadan has gone, and feel sad…until it comes again!
RAMADAN MOON LYRICS:
As-salamu alaykum
Wa alaykum salam
Hey, where are you up to?
What's the rush?
I'm going up to hill to see the Ramadan Moon!
Ha, will you see it happening tonight? Will you see it tonight?
Yeah, yeah. I think so.
Can we come with you?
Yeah, sure! Come along!
Okay!
Oh the people are coming and going
Getting ready, to-ing and fro-ing
There's a buzz in the world tonight
people are so excited
Daddy's coming home soon
hoping to see the moon
Hoping to catch a sight
everyone's so happy
Moon, Moon, come out soon!
We're off to see the Ramadan Moon
Clouds shift fog lift!
City put out your lights
We want to see
the Ramadan Moon
tonight!
Look, look, look, look
I can see it!
Oh Wow!
So can I!
Tomorrow we're going to fast!
Now Ramadan has started
and the Moon has just been sighted
Tomorrow we all fast
every Muslim must
Now 'Esha time is here
and it's time to leave for prayer
The Imam is in the Mosque
the Qur'an is in his heart
Moon, Moon, come out soon!
We're off to see the Ramadan Moon
Clouds shift fog lift!
City put out your lights
We want to see
the Ramadan Moon
tonight!
I'm going to the mosque
Come with me!
Okay!
Come on!
Ramadan Moon
From the early break of dawn
we'll go the whole day long
Shops are full of dates
but still we have to wait
Till the sun goes down
and it's time to break our siyyam
The food is on the plate
Ooh! It tastes so good!
Moon, Moon, come out soon!
We're off to see the Ramadan Moon
Clouds shift fog lift!
City put out your lights
We want to see
the Ramadan Moon
tonight!
Where's Granddad?
I don't know!
Ramadan Moon
I think he's going to the mosque
last ten days
I'm going to miss him
we'll see him when he comes out
Now Granddad's in I'tikaf
only ten days are left
He's praying every night
dressed all in white
Hands held high
with tears in his eyes
Asking for forgiveness and Paradise
Moon, Moon, come out soon!
We're off to see the Ramadan Moon
Clouds shift fog lift!
City put out your lights
We want to see
the Ramadan Moon
tonight!
Did you see the moon last night?
No, why?
It's the moon of Shawwal
That means it's Eid tomorrow!
Eid Mubarak!
Eid Mubarak!
See you tomorrow for Eid
Insha'Allah
Now it's time again for Eid
Ramadan ran with speed
Will it come again?
Like an old friend?
Ramadan Moon
Like an old friend?
Ramadan Moon
