Ramadan Idea 15: Make them an Iftar Box
Inspired by this iftaar box by This Little Life of Mine who made these below, I made some for my kids! When I saw made, I mean ‘stuck foam letters on’! Something to make their iftar even more special!
- On the topic of iftar, I came across this FB post and think it’s a very special way to think about when we end our fast. Inshallah if we start young we can inculcate this thinking into our children!
But in Spanish, that’s not the word I was taught to use when it’s time to eat after fasting. My grandparents taught me to say, “Ahora entrego mi ayuno.” (“It is time to deliver my fast [to God].”) The image of a servant, of a believer of One God, praying “Here is my fast, oh Lord. Please accept it from me!” It reminds me of the unseen, of begging God to accept our deeds, and praying to The One God as if we see Him.
So, today, how will you deliver your fast to the Almighty Lord of the Worlds?”
