Today's mini-lesson
Du'a means talking to Allah and asking Him for what we need — in any language, at any time.
Many Muslims make extra du'a while they are fasting and in the minutes before iftar.
We can raise our hands, ask for good things for ourselves and for others, and finish with “Ameen”.
Du'a hands
Show your child how to raise open hands. They ask Allah for one thing in their own words — for themselves, for Grandma, or for a friend.
My du'a jar
Write or draw du'as on slips of paper and keep them in a jar. Before iftar, pick one and make that du'a together.
