Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 185 (2:185)

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَـٰتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۗ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُمُ ٱلْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ ٱلْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا۟ ٱلْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ۝١٨٥

The meaning of the ayah

The month of Ramaḍān [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’ān, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the crescent of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allāh intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allāh for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.

The words of the ayah

Your child memorizes the ayah word by word, then puts the words back in order in the “Put the words in order” game:

شَهْرُرَمَضَانَٱلَّذِىٓأُنزِلَفِيهِٱلْقُرْءَانُهُدًۭىلِّلنَّاسِوَبَيِّنَـٰتٍۢمِّنَٱلْهُدَىٰوَٱلْفُرْقَانِ ۚفَمَنشَهِدَمِنكُمُٱلشَّهْرَفَلْيَصُمْهُ ۖوَمَنكَانَمَرِيضًاأَوْعَلَىٰسَفَرٍۢفَعِدَّةٌۭمِّنْأَيَّامٍأُخَرَ ۗيُرِيدُٱللَّهُبِكُمُٱلْيُسْرَوَلَايُرِيدُبِكُمُٱلْعُسْرَوَلِتُكْمِلُوا۟ٱلْعِدَّةَوَلِتُكَبِّرُوا۟ٱللَّهَعَلَىٰمَاهَدَىٰكُمْوَلَعَلَّكُمْتَشْكُرُونَ
