The Reading Room

Fasting six days in the month of Shawwal is a highly recommended (Sunnah Mustahabbah) practice in Islam, offering immense rewards. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said that whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is as if they have fasted the entire year. We mark the end of the blessed days of fasting, and our Ramadan storytime with the story of two gardens, presented by Makeena Noushyn Ali, from her collection of YouTube stories.
Thank you, Noushyn! Keep on being an amazing reader 🩷

Eid Mubarak to all our little readers!
Today's story about Eid is narrated by Aara.

Aisha was looking forward to the sighting of the moon. This year her aunt has made a scavenger hunt for her and her brother to find their Eid presents, but first there is henna to apply, decorations to hang up, Eid prayers to attend, desserts to be shared with neighbors, and lunch to be had, before the scavenger hunt can commence, and presents can be located.

Thank you Aara, for this lovely story!
