COURSE OVERVIEW

What Your Child Will Learn About Islamic Holidays

The course follows the Islamic calendar, so your child learns about each occasion in the order Muslims observe it. It begins with the Hijri months and why Friday is a weekly Eid, then moves to Ramadan, Laylat al-Qadr, and Eid al-Fitr, followed by the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, the Day of Arafah, and Eid al-Adha.

The course ends with the Hijri New Year, Ashura, and the lessons of Isra and Mi’raj. Along the way, your child hears the stories behind each occasion, from Ibrahim and Musa (peace be upon them) to the Hijrah, and memorises the Eid Takbirat and short du’as. Lessons also cover the sunnahs of Eid, from wearing your best clothes to greeting others with “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum.”

HOW THE COURSE IS STRUCTURED

How the Islamic Holidays and Events Course Is Structured

The course is organised into four engaging modules that help children understand Islamic celebrations and connect what they learn to family traditions, creativity, and everyday values.

1

The Islamic Calendar and the Weekly Eid

Learn the twelve Hijri months, how the new moon marks each one, and why Friday is a weekly Eid for Muslims. Practise the sunnahs of Jumu’ah, then make a moon-phase calendar to follow the months at home.

2

Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr

Discover why Muslims fast, take simple first steps toward fasting, and learn about Laylat al-Qadr and Zakat al-Fitr. Children also learn the Eid prayer, the Takbirat, and the sunnahs of Eid morning, ending with an Eid card for the family.

3

Dhul Hijjah and Eid al-Adha

Learn about the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, the Day of Arafah, and Hajj, with a gentle telling of the story of Ibrahim and Ismail (peace be upon them). Children learn about gratitude and sharing the Udhiyah with family, neighbours, and those in need.

4

More Islamic Occasions

Hear the story of the Hijrah on the Hijri New Year, the story of Musa (peace be upon him) on the Day of Ashura, and the lessons of Isra and Mi’raj. Each story ends with a good deed your child can practise during the week.

WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE

What Your Child Will Achieve From Learning About Islamic Holidays

By the end of the course, your child will be able to talk about the occasions of the Islamic year and what makes each one special.

Explain Why Muslims Celebrate Eid

Your child will learn why Muslims celebrate Eid and what makes these occasions special within Islamic life. Simple explanations help children understand that Eid is connected to worship, gratitude, community, family, and the completion of important acts of worship.

Rather than focusing only on food, clothes, gifts, or celebrations, children will explore the meaning behind Eid and learn how Muslims can celebrate in ways that reflect Islamic values. This helps make Eid for kids an opportunity for meaningful learning as well as enjoyment.

Recognize Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha

Children will learn to distinguish between Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha and understand the basic meaning and significance of each celebration. They will explore how the two Eids are connected to important events and acts of worship in the Islamic calendar.

Age-appropriate lessons about Eid al Fitr for kids and Eid al Adha for children help students recognize their different contexts, traditions, and values. This gives children a clearer understanding of why Muslims celebrate two major Eids and what makes each one special.

Identify Important Eid Values

Your child will explore the values that are often emphasized during Eid, including gratitude, generosity, kindness, sharing, family connection, and caring for others. Lessons help children recognize these values in familiar situations and understand why they are important in Islam.

Children will also consider how they can practice these values beyond Eid celebrations. Whether through sharing with others, helping family members, showing gratitude, or thinking about people in need, the lessons encourage children to carry the spirit of Eid into everyday life.

Talk About Eid Traditions

Children will learn to recognize and describe age-appropriate Eid traditions and discuss how Muslim families may celebrate these special occasions. They can explore examples such as preparing for Eid, spending time with family, sharing meals, giving gifts, visiting loved ones, and taking part in community celebrations.

The focus is on helping children understand the meaning behind traditions rather than presenting one single way for every family to celebrate. This allows Eid for kids to be explored in a way that respects different family experiences while keeping Islamic values at the center.

Take Part in Eid Activities

Your child will have opportunities to reinforce their learning through simple and engaging Eid activities at home for children. Activities can help them revisit important concepts, talk about what they have learned, and connect Islamic celebrations with their own experiences.

Practical activities can also make learning more memorable by allowing children to participate rather than only listen. Through age-appropriate Eid activities for kids, children can explore Islamic celebrations in a creative, interactive, and meaningful way.

Create Meaningful Eid Crafts

Children will use simple Eid crafts for kids as a creative way to express what they have learned about Eid and Islamic celebrations. Craft-based activities can encourage children to think about important themes such as gratitude, generosity, family, and sharing while creating something connected to their learning.

Creative projects can also give children an opportunity to discuss the meaning behind their work and remember key lessons from the course. This makes Eid crafts for kids more than a fun activity by connecting creativity with Islamic learning and celebration.
