Are you looking for an easy way to get the kids to do good deeds this Ramadan? Perhaps, a Ramadan activity that requires little prep work and helps keep the kids engaged all month?<\/p>\n

Well, the answer is to make a Good Deeds Jar.<\/p>\n

Islam encourages us to perform good deeds, even compete in them!<\/p>\n

In Surah Al-Baqarah,\u00a0<\/em>Allah says:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSo compete with one another in doing good. Wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together \u02f9 for judgement.\u02fa Surely Allah is Most Capable of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:148)<\/p>\n

When we do good deeds, even small ones, each is counted as an act of charity for us. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery good deed is charity. Verily, it is a good deed to meet your brother with a smiling face and to pour what is left from your bucket into the vessel of your brother.\u201d\u00a0(Sahih Tirmidhi)<\/p>\n

Allah, the Most Merciful, has also promised that if we do good deeds, He will multiply our rewards for them. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, taught:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery deed of the son of Adam is multiplied from ten to seven hundred times\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Sahih Muslim)<\/p>\n
