Between Rabīʿ al-Awwal—the month of the Prophet ﷺ’s blessed birth—and the sacred month of Ramadan lies a precious half-year window. Used wisely, this period can transform your child’s connection to Allah and strengthen their understanding of Islam. Today, with Islamic education for kids online, parents can create a structured plan that blends home-based activities with guided learning from experienced teachers.
Below is a detailed 6-month faith-building planner designed to nurture your child’s iman step-by-step until Ramadan.
