Ep 4. Terawih

The episode Terawih of Upin & Ipin season 1 takes place during Ramadan, the month of fasting for Muslims. The episode begins with the twins, Upin and Ipin, waking up early in the morning to prepare for terawih prayers. They wake their younger sister, Ros, and their grandmother, Opah, to join them in the prayers.

The family goes to the mosque, which is filled with other Muslims who have come to perform the terawih prayers. Upin, Ipin, and Ros struggle to stay awake during the long prayers, but Opah helps them by reminding them of the importance of the prayers. She also teaches them about the different surahs (chapters) from the Quran that are recited during the prayers.

After the prayers, the family goes back home to have their sahur meal, the pre-dawn meal that Muslims eat before starting their fast for the day. Upin and Ipin are very hungry and excited to eat, but Opah reminds them that they should not eat too much, as it will make fasting harder for them.

Throughout the day, Upin and Ipin struggle to resist the urge to eat and drink. They try to distract themselves by playing outside and reading books, but they still feel very hungry and thirsty. Ros, who is too young to fast, tries to tempt them with food, but Opah reminds her that she should respect her siblings' fast.

As the day goes on, Upin and Ipin start to feel tired and weak. Opah comes to their rescue by telling them stories about the Prophet Muhammad and his companions, who also used to fast during Ramadan. She teaches them that fasting is not just about not eating and drinking, but it is also about showing self-discipline, empathy, and gratitude for what they have.

When the time for breaking the fast (iftar) approaches, the family prepares a delicious meal with a variety of dishes, including dates, which are traditionally eaten to break the fast. Upin, Ipin, and Ros are ecstatic to finally eat and drink, and they express their gratitude for the food and blessings they have.

The episode ends with the family getting ready for bed, with Upin and Ipin feeling proud of themselves for completing their first day of fasting. They hug each other and fall asleep, looking forward to the next day of Ramadan.

Overall, the episode Terawih of Upin & Ipin season 1 explores the significance of Ramadan and fasting for Muslims. It teaches children about the importance of prayer, self-discipline, empathy, and gratitude, all while being entertaining and engaging. It is a great episode for families to watch together during Ramadan, or for anyone who wants to learn more about this important Islamic tradition.
