What is Ramadhaan - We Are One about?
Ramadhaan - We Are One is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9: an animated song that welcomes the month of Ramadan and reminds children that Muslims everywhere are one Ummah.
The song opens as the new moon is sighted. The month of fasting has begun, and it is time to purify our hearts, so we welcome Ramadan. The pictures travel across the world, from a hillside town of colourful houses to a desert with a minaret and a camel, and on to a jungle, while the chorus sings the name of the month again and again.
Then the song turns to its message. We are one Ummah under the sun, one Ummah praising the One. We love Allah's beloved and send peace upon Muhammad ﷺ. Together we fast and pray and smile and say Subhanallah, and as one we say that Ramadan has begun. The video ends with open hands raised in dua and the words of the salawat on the screen: Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad, wa barik wa sallim.
The app's description sums up the idea behind it: we are connected in more ways than we think, and the actions of one can have an impact on the whole. It is a good song to learn together at the start of Ramadan, and to talk about the millions of Muslims all over the world who begin to fast on the same days.
The video is from Zain Bhikha Kids. It lasts about 2 minutes and is music-free.
