Where the words come from

Sources

Qur'an verses are copied letter for letter from tanzil.net or quran.com, and du'as and hadith from sunnah.com. The reference is printed on the poster, with a transliteration and a simple meaning. Where schools of thought differ on small details, follow your teacher.

How to use it

For grown-ups

Hang it next to the family calendar and clip a peg on the current Islamic month; move it along when the new moon comes.
Go outside together at the start of a month and look for the thin new crescent just after sunset.
Walk a finger round the wheel from 1 to 12 and say the months in order, a few more each week.
Count down the months to Ramadan and Dhul-Hijjah, and talk about what you look forward to in each.
Print at 100% ("actual size") on thick paper, or laminate it for a busy wall. For a big classroom or masjid poster, use the 18 × 24 in PDF at a print shop.
