Ramadan Challenge Printing and
Assembly instructions... Printing Instructions
To get the best quality printing results, I can not stress enough the importance of printing onto Gloss
Photo paper!
It is cheaply available, I picked up a pack of 10 High Gloss Photo paper 230gsm from one of the pound
stores. I’m sure wherever you are in the world, you will find cheap stores selling similar too.
Printing onto photo paper massively improves the quality of your print, giving a professional, vibrant and
clear finish.
I would recommend printing the pages which make the board game onto Gloss Photo paper, and the
question cards either onto card, or again photo paper (printing the questions on the back of the sheet and
the decorative card cover on the gloss side).
The game has been designed to allow borderless printing- making game assembly much easier.
To print borderless, ensure you have checked the “borderless” box in your printer settings.
The design includes a page that can be printed on the back of the question cards to give a “real game”
look. It is not a must you print these, you can leave your cards plain if you like. But if you do want to print
the back, just print a sheet of questions on one side, and the card back on the other side.
Assembly Instructions
Once you have everything printed, now the game can be quickly assembled ready to play!
If you have a laminator, I would recommend laminating the 4 board pieces. Run each sheet through the
laminator 3 or 4 times so that you can trim the edges without the plastic peeling off.
This is will then allow you to lay the sheets together so they meet to form one big continuous board.
Tape the board pieces together at the back.
Cut the question cards along their lines. If you have a paper cutter this makes this job quick and neat!
Once cut, place the question cards down on top of their marked position on the board ready to play!
Game play Instructions
The Ramadan Challenge game can be played with individual players or as team players. (teams may be
more suitable for younger players who may find it frustrating if they can not answer many questions
correctly, as being part of a team will help them to feel they are contributing and they will learn through
giving answers with their fellow team members inshallah)
Depending on the ages of the players, there are 2 ways you can play this game.
1. Only move ahead the stated number of places on the question cards if the question is answered
correctly. If a wrong answer is given, the player must stay still.
2. Move ahead the stated number of places regardless of whether the correct answer was given or
not. (this may be more suitable for younger players who are learning about Ramadan)
Find something each player can use as their position marker to travel around the board.
Place all the player markers on the start square.
Each player takes turns to answer a question from the question cards. Each card shows how many
spaces to move.
Each question card also has the answer – so it is not a good idea for players to pick their own
cards! Instead another player should pick their card and read them the question.
The first player to reach the finish wins!

to break the fast, his fast is still valid…

And it ends when the prayer begins, i.e., when they start the Eid prayer then the time for the takbeer ends. [Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 16/269-272]
The prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص used to lead the people
in prayer at night in congregation in
Ramadan, however he stopped after a
few nights. Why was this?
Because he was fearful the night
prayer would become obligatory for
the people. ___________________________________________
Narrated ‘Aishah: One night Allah’s Messenger ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص
offered the salat in the masjid and the people
followed him. The next night he also offered the
salat and a great number of people followed him.
On the 3rd or 4th night more and more people
gathered but Allah’s Messenger ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص did not come out
to them. In the morning he said “I saw what you
were doing and nothing stopped me from coming
out to you, but the fear that it (the salat) might be
enjoined on you”. And that happened in the month
of Ramadan. [al-Bukhari]

False ___________________________________________
The Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص prayed with the people in
Jama’ah for 3 nights in Ramadan, and he
only stopped for fear that it would become
an obligation. [The night prayers, Qiyaam & Tarawih based on the works of
Muhammad Nasir ud-Deen al-Albani pg 45]]
After the obligatory salat, which
prayer did the Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص say is
the best prayer?
Prayer at night ___________________________________________
It was narrated from Humaid bin ‘Abdur-
Rahman – that is Ibn ‘Awf, that Abu
Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص
said “The best fasting after the month of
Ramadan is the month of Allah, al-
Muharram, and the best prayer after the
obligatory prayer is prayer at night.”

It is half the reward of the one
who prays standing. ___________________________________________
It is narrated that ‘Imran bin Husain said: I
asked the prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص about one who prays sitting down. He said: “Whoever prays standing up is better, and one who prays sitting down will have half the reward of one who prays standing up. And whoever prays lying down will have half the reward of one who prays sitting down.” [an-Nasa’i] (Al-Albani declared it to be authentic)
What should the Muslim end their
night prayer with?
The praying of Witr ___________________________________________
Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said:

If a person regularly offers prayer
at night but misses it due to sleep,
what will be recorded for him?
The reward for prayer is still
recorded for him, and his sleep is a
charity that Allah has given to
him. ___________________________________________
It was narrated from Sa’id bin Jubair from
from al-Aswas bin Yazid that ‘Aisha said:
“The Messenger of Allah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص said: “Whoever
has the habit of praying at night, but he
sleeps and misses it, that is a charity that
Allah has given to him, and the reward of his
prayer will be recorded for him.”
[an-Nasa’i] (Al-Albani declared it to be authentic)
What is a Sa’?
A type of measurement that was
used at the time of the prophet. It
measured the volume of a food
stuff (not its weigh). ___________________________________________
During the time of the Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص the sa’ was a specific means of measuring volume, known to the people. Similar to how in our times we know exactly what a 500ml measuring cup looks like; we use this measurement in our kitchens, restaurants, schools etc. A sa is a measure of volume, not weight. It equals approximately 3L (ie. Six 500ml measuring cups). ….Depending on the food item, the weight will be different, because all food has different weight.

Can we give the Zakat-ul-Fitr after
the Ei’d prayer?
No. (If it is given after the E’id
prayer, it is counted as charity, not
zakat-ul-fitr)
____________________________________________
The Prophet said: ……”whoever gives it before
the feast prayer it will be accepted from him
as Zakat-ul-fitr. But whoever gives it after the
prayer then it will be accepted from him as
the regular charities.”
[Abu Dawud. Shiekh al-Albani graded it
Hasan]
Is it correct to say the Takbir before the E’id prayer collectively as a group in unison? No, from the Sunnah is to say it individually.
____________________________________________
The congregational takbir is a newly introduced matter in the religion, therefore it is an innovation. And if the people do an act which opposes the pure legislation, it is obligatory to prevent them from doing so and to refute them. Worship must be derived from revelation, only that which the Qur’an and the Sunnah point to is considered legislation. As for the statements and opinions of men, there is no evidence in them if they oppose the legislative proofs…That which is legislated concerning the takbir is that each Muslim says the takbir in a manner that has been narrated (and that they say it) individually. Shiekh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz www.binbaz.org.sa/mat/8690]

How many rewards are recorded
for reciting each letter of the
Qur’an?
Ten rewards ___________________________________________
It is narrated by ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud that
the Prophet said: “Whoever recites a letter
from the Book of Allah will have a reward
for that and the reward will be multiplied
ten times. I am not saying (alif lam meem)
is a letter, rather alif is a letter, lam is a
letter and meem is a letter.”
[Sahih at-Tirmidhi]
(graded authentic by Shiekh al-Albani)`
For the one who is elderly or in a
state of permanent illness, is it
obligatory that they fast?
No ___________________________________________
However it is a must for them to replace (the
daily) fast with feeding a poor person for
every day (which they missed). This is
because Allah has made feeding a
replacement for fasting and gave the believers
the option of either fasting or feeding when
fasting was first legislated. Therefore, if you
are unable to fast you should ransom your
day of fasting by feeding a poor person.
[Sittings during the blessed month of
Ramadan – Shiekh Uthaimeen]
What should the one who can not
fast due to weakness of old age or
permanent illness do?
Feed a poor person a meal for
each day not fasted. ___________________________________________
Ibn Abbas said: “The old man or woman
who is unable to fast must feed a poor
person for each day they have not
performed the fast”.
[al-Bukhari]
Does the one who is ill have to fast?
No. (they can make up the missed
fasts due to illness after Ramadan
when they are back to health again) ___________________________________________
Allah says in the Qur’an (translated meaning)
“And whoever is sick or on a journey then he
should make up the days that he missed in
the days other than he month of Ramadan.”
[Surah al-Baqarah: 185]
If someone dies whilst owing some
missed fasts still to complete, what
should his family do?
Fast the same number of days due. ___________________________________________
The Prophet said “Whoever dies with the debt
of fasting, his guardian should fast on his
behalf.”
[al-Bukhari]
His guardian means anyone who inherits him
or his kin. And it is permissible for a group of
people, totalling the number of days he
missed, to collectively fast a single day.
