There are two main purposes of this study, to produce a video drama about ‘fasting’ and to see how students perceive ‘fasting’, their understanding and internalization of fasting and their perception of the use of video. This is due to several reasons such as time constrain, students’ low motivation and massive contents. Using video drama is one of alternatives that might be used since through video drama the huge contents can be covered effectively and efficiently. The video drama was designed based on the ADDIE’S model starting from Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. Since ‘fasting’ has four value aspects physical, psychological, sociological and spiritual, the video showed clearly the values on health, emotional, social concern and awareness. To implement and evaluate summatively, eight form two classes out of 27 classes were randomly selected from eight secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The students were administered to see their perception through open-ended questions consisting of three (3) items to answer the above matters. ‘Fasting’ was perceived as a stronger, more beneficial and special than other ibadahs like prayer. Three out of 229 students (99 %) responded positively because they like the movie appeared observably through their reactions while watching the movie. Two of the three preferred action movie while another one just simply disliked whatever movie.
