The Ramadan Drummer
It’s Ramadan, and Adam is excited about this special time of year, but there’s a growing problem in his neighborhood. People are forgetting to wake up for the pre-dawn meal (Suhoor) and the dawn prayer (Fajr). The once-cherished traditions are becoming distant memories.
Adam’s father rises to the challenge and decides to take on the role of the neighborhood “waker-upper”—the Ramadan Drummer. With courage and determination, he sets out to revive this ancient tradition in their modern city. Can he inspire the community and help them wake up in time to honor these important parts of Ramadan?
This humorous and heartwarming story celebrates cultural heritage, community service, and bravery in challenging times. Through lively rhymes and vibrant illustrations, children will learn about the importance of Suhoor and the role of the Ramadan Drummer, a tradition that once served as the heartbeat of many Muslim communities during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
