Ramadhan fasting is a compulsory worship for Muslims. This worship has to be introduced to the children since their childhood. Starting from recognizing and the meaning of fasting, the children will slowly learn to fasting in several stages until they are considered capable to do fasting. Islam instructs children to get used to doing their obligations from an early age. Ramadhan is a very good month for parents to instill positive character to their children.
