Baitul Ilm Academy

All throughout Ramadan at Iftar time – Baitul Ilm Ladies Banquet Hall

We are excited to have the little fasters program return for a third Ramadan.  We will chart each child’s progress, recite du’a and open fast as a group at iftar times.  Please see below for this year’s requirements. 

• Participants must be between the ages of 5 and 9 yrs old.  
• You must be registered by a parent or guardian to participate  
• Registration can be done online at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1OCZMAeK5xDhMMzQrSVLEZlnkQMumcdcEz7zzIy2F7VA/viewform or in person. (registration will close on the 7th of Ramadan)  
• This program is to motivate children already interested in fasting.  It is not permissible to push or force a child to fast for this program.  The initiative must come from the child.  
• Children must be present at iftar time to participate.  
• We request that each family sign up for volunteer activities on an assigned day: table set up, table clean up, bringing iftar snacks for all the children. (sign up sheets will be available at the masjid).    
• Parents must bring the child to the Little Fasters table and check them in.  Parents must also fix a dinner plate for their child and bring it to the table.  
• A full day fast is from Fajr to Maghrib.  A half day fast is from Fajr to Dhuhr or from Dhuhr to Maghrib.    
• Please wake your child for Suhoor and provide them with a healthful meal and plenty of fluids.  
• If your child expresses that they are done fasting for the day, respect their decision, and let them know you are proud of them for trying.  
• **Allergies – Parent’s are responsible to monitor food for any allergies**  
• **Recommendation: It is also recommended that if your child does not prefer what is generally being served at the masjid for dinner that you pack a favorite food or meal for them to have after they have fasted.
