Little Rayyan, a joyful girl, learns about Ramadan and the importance of giving. With her lamb friend, she experiences the joy of fasting, sharing, and kindness, discovering the true spirit of the holy month and earning her place at the Gate of Rayyan.
Little Rayyan, a girl with blonde hair and a joyful heart, loved to play in her garden. She was always energetic and curious, ready for a new adventure. One sunny morning, she saw her mommy preparing a special meal.
"Mommy, what are you making?" Rayyan asked, her eyes wide with curiosity. "I'm preparing for Ramadan, my dear. It's a special time for us to be kind and generous," her mommy replied with a smile. Rayyan tilted her head, wondering what Ramadan was all about.
Just then, a little white lamb, cute and curious, hopped into the garden. Rayyan giggled. "Look, Lamby! Mommy is making something special!" Lamby bleated in response, wagging its tail. Rayyan decided she wanted to help too.
Mommy explained that during Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, and they also focus on helping others. Rayyan's eyes sparkled. She wanted to be helpful! She asked if she could give her favorite toy to a child who didn't have any.
The next day, Rayyan decided she would try to fast too, just like her mommy! She woke up early and had a small breakfast before sunrise. Lamby watched her, tilting its head as if wondering what she was doing.
As the day went on, Rayyan felt a little hungry. She looked at Lamby, who seemed to understand. Rayyan remembered her mommy's words about being patient. She decided to distract herself by playing a game with Lamby.
Rayyan and Lamby played hide-and-seek amongst the flowers. They laughed and ran, and Rayyan almost forgot about her hunger. But when she accidentally tripped, the patience she had waned and she threw a fit.
Rayyan's mommy came running to see why she was crying. When she found out Rayyan was only upset because she was hungry and had tripped, she took the opportunity to teach Rayyan how patience is important to fasting and she should try again tomorrow. She felt sad she couldn't complete her first fast, but she knew tomorrow was another day.
The next day Rayyan woke up with a renewed determination. She had her small breakfast and went to her garden, greeting her woolly friend, Lamby. She was going to conquer this fast!
Rayyan and Lamby spend their day sharing. First Rayyan shared a little of her breakfast with Lamby, then they both decided to give away their toys to children that had nothing. Rayyan was excited, because she knew how blessed she was and giving was the right thing to do.
As sunset approached, Rayyan and Lamby sat with her mommy, waiting for the time to break the fast. The table was filled with delicious food, and Rayyan felt a sense of accomplishment. She had been patient, generous, and kind throughout the day.
That night, Rayyan dreamt of a beautiful gate made of light. A voice whispered, "This is the Gate of Rayyan, for those who are generous and patient during Ramadan." Rayyan smiled, knowing that her kindness had opened the door to a special place. From that day on, she continued to practice the spirit of Ramadan, spreading joy and generosity wherever she went.
