Ramadan programme blends learning and fun to engage young Muslims

By Sadiq Abdulfatah

A Ramadan television programme is gaining attention for helping children learn Islamic values in an engaging way. The show, “Al-Faizoon,” is broadcast on Jeem TV with support from a Qur’an and Sunnah endowment in Qatar.

The programme is produced by beIN Media Group and airs every year during the month of Ramadan. It combines education with entertainment, teaching children about the Qur’an, prophets, companions, and good moral values in a simple and modern way.

According to Nasser Al-Nasr, Director of Children’s Content Production, the support from the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has helped the programme continue successfully for six seasons. He said the goal is to strengthen children’s Islamic identity and connect them to authentic teachings.

The show has attracted wide participation, with children from inside Qatar and other countries calling in daily. This live interaction allows them to take part in the programme and learn in real time.

Each episode lasts about 45 minutes and includes different segments such as quizzes and discussions. Around 10 children are selected daily from more than 40 requests to participate. They answer questions during the live broadcast and also engage through social media.

The questions cover topics like the Qur’an, prophets, acts of worship, Laylat al-Qadr, and the lives of early Muslims. Each correct answer earns the child a cash prize, with the total prize pool reaching QR300,000.

Al-Nasr thanked the General Directorate of Endowments and donors for supporting the programme, saying their contributions help raise a generation of children who are knowledgeable and connected to their Islamic values.
