Alhamdulillah, nowadays we see a lot more Ramadan-themed books for young kids. However, many lack the foundation of this ayah. Instead, they focus solely on the physical aspects of fasting (abstaining from food and water) and the breaking of the fast (iftar). Some might sprinkle in a bit of taraweeh and fasting to feel the hardship of the poor. But where is Allah in all this? Where is the guidance of the Quran?
Can we have a Ramadan fast that is completely devoid of Allah and the revelation and guidance of the Quran? Can Ramadan simply become a cultural observance, lacking its spirituality, recognition, and celebration of Allah's final message to mankind—a message to guide them until the end of time?
