Islam - From the Vault

Author: Squiz Media February 21, 2026 Duration: 10:42
Ramadan has begun — a special month observed by millions of Muslims around the world, marked by fasting during daylight hours, prayer, generosity, and time with family and community. So this weekend, we’re revisiting one of our Squiz Kids Shortcuts to help explain more about Islam — what Muslims believe, how Ramadan is celebrated, and why the city of Mecca is so important. In this episode, Bryce and Amanda explore the basics of one of the world’s biggest religions, unpack traditions like fasting from sunrise to sunset, and discover the meaning behind important practices followed by Muslims everywhere. It’s a great listen if you’ve ever wondered why some classmates might be fasting this month — or if you’re simply curious to learn more about the world around you. Listen carefully — there’s a Squiz at the end!
