Upin & Ipin

This episode shows how two 5 years old boys, Upin and Ipin, reacts when the word “fasting” is introduced to them. Like any other kids, they are curious to the reason and purpose of fasting. Their grandmother and sister are ever ready to explain to them in a subtle manner the meaning and reason for fasting. A comical scene of them having to wake up in the early hours of the morning for sahur will add up some spice to this episode.

It is always difficult for young boys to fast for the first time especially if they are active and mischievous. They tend to forget that they are fasting when they wake up in the morning or after playing in the hot sun. The element of other religions respecting each other beliefs which is the essence of Malaysian life is clearly portrayed in this episode. Their non-Muslim friends will remind them that they are fasting when they forget. The episode will also bring nostalgic memories to the older viewers on how we fast during their first time.

It is time for them to break fast after undergoing a lot of obstacles on their first day of fasting. It is common in Malaysia for Muslim families to prepare delicious food especially on the first day of fasting. The temptations of the boys and their excitement to the food prior to the breaking of fast will be interesting and fun to watch. Their hard works in fasting are rewarded when they enjoy the food to the limit. Both of them fell asleep soon after that with their stomach full, derailing their plan to go to the surau for tarawikh prayers.

Their chance of following their Grandmother and sister to the surau for tarawikh is only realized after a few days of fasting. Tarawikh prayers, which is only performed during the month of Ramadhan, is an occasion that children look upon to play with their friends at night rather than praying. It is no exception for Upin and Ipin, as they meet their friends. After the usual exchanges of their experience in fasting, they started playing a typical kids game in Malaysia. Their fun are stopped abruptly by their sister and ordered to join the prayer session.

In this episode, the grandmother is trying to convince Upin and Ipin that fasting is an obligation that will be rewarded by Allah with enlightenment after life. It is the trend now that parent rewards their children with money for fasting instead of making them understand that fasting is a religious obligation. The episode will also be spice up with comical scenes of the boys preparing for Raya in a true Malaysian style.

The episode starts with the boys, grandmother and sister visiting their parent’s grave in the morning of Raya. On their return from visiting the grave, their friends are around at their house to celebrate Raya together. We then see how they enjoy the food prepared by their grandmother with all their friends of various races and religions. While eating, they will be sharing their experience of fasting for the first time and Opah who will always be around providing advices and encouragements for them to fast in the coming years.

A year has passed, and Upin and Ipin are now in kindergarten at Tadika Mesra. They have made many new friends but are still up to their mischievous antics with their close friends. Fizi and Upin each bring their own pet spiders for play before class starts but their game is interrupted when Miss Jasmin arrives, before Fizi's spider escapes from under his table. During class, Miss Jasmin informs the kids about the upcoming month of Ramadhan which makes Upin, Ipin and their gang talk animatedly about their previous fasting experience.

Ever wondered when Ramadhan starts? So do Upin and Ipin... Excited about the upcoming Ramadhan, they ask their elder sister Kak Ros, who explains to them that the month starts when the new moon is sighted. Intrigued by this newfound information, the duo set out to look for the new moon together that very night, and of course things do not go according to plan...

Upin and Ipin are performing their fast well, but they wonder why their teacher Miss Jasmin is not fasting. Opah lets Kak Ros explain why women are excepted from fasting. In the evening as they are playing games with their friends, Upin and Ipin are asked by Opah to send food to Tok Dalang. She explains that it is a good deed to give food and alms during Ramadhan. What will Tok Dalang do in return?

Kak Ros membawa Upin & Ipin ke Pasar Ramadan untuk membeli makanan untuk berbuka puasa. Kak Ros memberikan duit kepada adik-beradik kembar itu untuk membeli satu barang sahaja, tetapi mereka terlebih beli ayam goreng sehingga cukup untuk memenuhi meja makan, sehingga setibanya waktu makan, mereka tidak terdaya untuk menghabiskan semua ayam yang dibeli mereka itu.

Upin and Ipin learn about the meaning and significance of Lailatul Qadr from Opah. They decide that they will stay on in the mosque after night prayers to recite the Qur'an and perform supplications instead of playing. On arrival at the mosque, Ehsan and Fizi invites the twins to play firecrackers after the prayers. However, Upin and Ipin stick to their plan and stay on in the mosque. Meanwhile, fireworks explode in the background...

Upin and Ipin's classmates are abuzz over Fizi's bandaged hand. Fizi relates what happened the night before. Miss Jasmin then enters the class and begins a discussion on the reasons and benefits of fasting. The class ends with everyone asking for forgiveness from one another.

Hujan lebat menyebabkan Upin & Ipin kebosanan berdiam di rumah sahaja, tetapi mereka dididk oleh Opah bahawa hujan itu rahmat dari Tuhan. Senyap-senyap, Upin & Ipin merancang sesuatu yang memerlukan imaginasi, iaitu membayangkan diri mereka merupakan dua pahlawan yang hendak menyelamatkan Puteri Mei Mei dari genggaman Jarjit si lanun.

After being reminded by a commercial on the TV, Upin & Ipin start their preparation for a new school year by making sure their uniforms and pencil boxes are still usable. They ask for Kak Ros to replace their torn pants and dirty shoes, but Grandma sews the pants and Kak Ros teaches the two how to polish their shoes.

Upin, Ipin and their friends are shocked to find a nicely decorated new classroom. The classmates scramble to pick out their new seats, but Miss Jasmin decides to assign each student´s seat herself. She distributes their new books after speaking to the students.

During the first day of school, Miss Jasmin splits the students into three groups and holds a game of charades. Back at home, Kak Ros helps Upin & Ipin wrap their new books.

Tok Dalang mengajar Upin, Ipin dan kawan-kawan membuat layang-layang. Mereka semua dapat membuat sehelai layang-layang untuk diri masing-masing, kecuali Mail yang mengambil kesempatan untuk mencari barang niaga baru dengan membuat puluhan layang-layang untuk dijual kepada orang ramai. Tok Dalang berpesan supaya mereka pergi ke kawasan lapang untuk bermain kerana kawasan perumahan di kampung ada gantungan dawai elektrik yang membawa padah jika layang-layang tersangkut.

Di tengah keseronokan bermain layang-layang, Fizi mengambil kesempatan untuk beradu layang-layang siapa lebih tinggi bersama Ehsan, sehingga Ehsan terleka dan kehabisan benang, hingga layang-layangnya pun melayang. Tiba-tiba, seekor burung yang terlanggar layang-layang Fizi lalu terjatuh dari langit. Maka mereka semua berhenti bermain lalu membawa burung itu cepat ke Tok Dalang untuk dirawat. Keesokan hari, Tok Dalang membuat layang-layang baru untuk Fizi dan Ehsan.

Pada hari kemudian, Upin dan Ipin ke rumah Tok Dalang untuk menjenguk wau barunya dan burung dari kelmarin. Dalam cubaan melihat burung itu dari dekat, Ipin terjatuh dari bangku lalu merosakkan wau itu. Untuk mengubati kesedihan Tok Dalang, Upin dan Ipin bertungkus-lumus untuk membuat wau baru, tapi kemudian mereka dibantu oleh Tok Dalang sendiri. Selepas itu, Tok Dalang membawa mereka ke Pertandingan Wau untuk menerbangkan wau bulan buatan mereka bertiga.
