Doha, Qatar: Ramadan television programme is gaining recognition for its role in promoting Islamic values among children through engaging and interactive content. “Al-Faizoon,” broadcast on Jeem TV with support from the Endowment Fund for the Service of the Qur’an and Sunnah under Qatar’s General Directorate of Endowments, has emerged as one of the most prominent educational shows targeting young audiences.
According to Nasser Al-Nasr, Director of Children’s Content Production at beIN Media Group at beIN Media Group, the Arabic-language programme airs annually throughout the holy month of Ramadan. It combines religious education with entertainment, introducing children to the Holy Qur’an, the lives of prophets, companions, and followers, while reinforcing moral values in a modern and appealing format that resonates with younger generations.
Al-Nasr highlighted that the continued support from the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has been instrumental in the programme’s success and sustainability over six consecutive seasons. He noted that this backing reflects a broader commitment to investing in educational initiatives that nurture children’s awareness, promote Islamic identity, and strengthen their connection to authentic religious teachings.
The programme has witnessed significant international engagement, receiving a high volume of daily calls from children inside Qatar and across different countries. This interaction transforms each episode into a live educational experience, allowing children to actively participate and engage with the content in real time. Each episode runs for approximately 45 minutes and includes a variety of segments that combine competition with simplified religious knowledge presented in an attractive and accessible manner.
Explaining the participation mechanism, Al-Nasr said that around 10 callers are selected daily from more than 40 participation requests received from various countries. Children take part by answering questions during the live broadcast, while additional interactive posts are shared through social media platforms to encourage wider engagement beyond the television screen.
The competition format is designed to be both educational and motivating. Each group of ten participants is presented with one question accompanied by three answer choices. Topics cover a wide range of religious themes, including the Holy Qur’an, prophets and messengers, acts of worship, Laylat Al-Qadr, and the biographies of the companions and followers.
Every child who answers correctly is awarded QR1,000, contributing to a total prize pool of QR300,000, reflecting the scale of support provided by the endowment.
Al-Nasr concluded by expressing his appreciation to the General Directorate of Endowments and the donors supporting the Endowment Fund for the Service of the Qur’an and Sunnah. He emphasised that their contributions play a vital role in sustaining meaningful educational programmes and inspiring a generation of children who are knowledgeable, engaged, and firmly connected to their religious values and cultural identity.
