What is Exercise with Mr Rat about?
Exercise with Mr Rat is an Islamic exercise game for children aged 4 to 9 in which they get moving with Mr Rat and learn that looking after their bodies is part of being a Muslim.
It is time to exercise. Mr Rat is ready, and on the cover he wears his sports T-shirt with the words "I can do it!". Children join in with some jumps and wiggles, and then it is ready, steady, go.
The game gets children off the sofa and moving, which is good for their health, their mood and their sleep. Short bursts of exercise suit young children well, and a friendly character to follow makes it easier to start.
The app reminds children that staying fit and taking care of our bodies is part of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Our bodies are a gift from Allah, and looking after them, by moving, eating well and resting, is one way to thank Him. Parents can join in too, and make a few jumps and wiggles part of the family's day, perhaps before school or after a long time sitting down.
Exercise with Mr Rat is a Miraj original.
