Ramadan is finally here, and Omar is SO excited! He wakes up Layla early in the morning, ready to fast for the first time. But what makes Ramadan so special? 🤔

Layla explains that fasting isn’t just about staying hungry—it’s about growing closer to Allah, being kind, and improving ourselves. 💖 📖

“When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained.” (Bukhari) 📖

“Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain Taqwa.” (Quran 2:183)

Watch as Omar and Layla discover the beauty of Ramadan together! 🌙✨
