What is Kamal Breaks Fast about?
Kamal Breaks Fast is an Islamic learning game for children aged 4 to 6 in which they help Kamal the Kangaroo choose what to eat and drink when he breaks his fast in Ramadan.
Kamal has been fasting all day. He is hungry and thirsty, and now it is time to break his fast. Children help him choose what to eat and what to drink. On the cover, Kamal holds an ice-cream sundae in one hand and a banana in the other, so there are some choices to make.
Many young children are curious about fasting, even before they are old enough to fast themselves. The game shows them what it feels like at the end of a long day, and gives them a part in the moment the fast ends, called iftar. It is a natural way to talk about how many Muslims break their fast with dates and water, as the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ did, and about choosing food that is good for us.
Iftar is also a time to thank Allah for food and drink. After the game, parents can ask their child what they would give Kamal first, and plan a special iftar together.
Kamal the Kangaroo is a Miraj original, and he also stars in Kamal the Kangaroo Makes Wudu.
