Thought Process behind Each Event

We are committed to guiding young minds through the profound narratives of our Prophets, aiming to answer life's fundamental questions & deepen their understanding of faith. Our journey began with a series of thoughtfully curated events, each designed to instill core Islamic values and insights. 

1. Once Upon a Time in Jannat: In our inaugural session, we delved into the story of Hazrat Adam (AS), exploring the origins of humanity & the eternal struggle between mankind and Shaytaan. This discussion aimed to shed light on the purpose of life.

2. The Friendly Fire: Our 2nd gathering focused on Hazrat Ibrahim's (AS) quest for understanding. We reflected on his contemplation of the stars, sun, and moon, leading to his recognition of Allah's greatness. This session addressed the pivotal question: "Who is Allah?"

3. The Pursuit of Submission: In the third event, we examined the profound act of Qurbani, illustrating the essence of complete submission to Allah's will. We also discussed the construction of the Kaaba and the heartfelt supplications of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) concerning Mecca and the lineage of Prophets.

4. The Year of the Elephant: Our fourth session transported kids to the events of Aam-ul-Feel, the year of the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) birth. We recounted how Allah protected the Kaaba from Abraha's army, connecting this divine intervention to the supplications of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS).

5. The Chosen Heart: Continuing our chronological journey into the life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), we focused on His early childhood and the trials He faced as an orphan. The session helped children understand the blessing of having parents, and how Allah nurtured the Prophet with love and protection, even in the absence of worldly support.

6. The Prophet in Making: This session centered on the youth phase of the Prophet’s life. Children were shown how seemingly ordinary experiences—like shepherding and trading with caravans—played a crucial role in shaping his qualities of patience, humility, and leadership. Stories such as how Allah protected the Prophet from societal evils as a teenager illustrated the concept of divine guidance and care.

7. As Saadiq Al Ameen: walked children through the story of a Yemeni merchant who was denied his rightful share by a local Meccan after selling his goods. Although this event took place during the Age of Ignorance in pre-Islamic Arabia, a group of local Meccans stood up against the injustice. Among them was the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) - still in his early teen years. This came to be known as Hilf-ul-Fudool—a pact to help the oppressed regardless of their tribal affiliations. Through a short skit, video & case study of Ibtihal Abousaad, the difference between a bystander and an upstander was explained, encouraging the children to take active steps in stopping bullying—echoing the example set by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). 

8. At Taahirah: started off with an engaging discussion on the life of Hazrat Khadija (RA)—her family & professional background, her first interaction with the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), and how she was the very first to accept Islam. Children were then introduced to the concept of entrepreneur - described as idea superhero's who observe a problem, thinks of a creative solution, and builds a profitable business around it. emphasize how putting Sunnah into action in everyday life—especially in business dealings—is both possible and rewarding. 

9. The First Responders: focused on the earliest believers who accepted the call of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) without hesitation. The children learned that these companions were drawn to Islam because of the Prophet’s (SAW) unmatched character, long before his prophethood was announced. They also discussed how qualities such as belief in Allah, love for the Prophet (SAW), courage, and leading in goodness set these real heroes apart from other fantasy super heroes.

10. Isra & Mi'raj: reflected on the difficulties faced by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in Makkah during the early years of Prophethood.

Children were reminded that it is natural to feel sadness, and that even the Prophet ﷺ went through deep trials — but he always kept hope in Allah. Allah then honored His Messenger ﷺ with the miraculous journey of Isra & Mi’raj, where Masjid al-Aqsa played a central role. The gift of Salah (prayer) was given, teaching us to connect with Allah especially in times of hardship. The importance of Masjid al-Aqsa and Muslim brotherhood was emphasized coupled with an interactive leather craft activity of Masjid al-Aqsa. A Model United Nations session was held on the Palestine issue where they discussed possible ways to support the Palestinian cause, including the importance of understanding global politics to influence policies for the betterment of the Ummah.

As we continue, our upcoming sessions will chronologically explore the significant milestones in the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Last Session: First Call in Madinah

Seerat's Club 1st event of Cycle 2 was held on 31st January '26, from Asar to Maghrib, at Shafqat Masjid. The session focused on the early days after Hijrah, with special emphasis on the establishment of the call to prayer.

The event began with an orientation for children, introducing the monthly format of Seerat Club & a reminder that Seerat is not only a historical narrative, but a guide for everyday life.

The discussion then transitioned to a relatable theme—responding to invitations. Children shared how they prepare eagerly for invitations such as sports days or weddings. This comparison was used to highlight the most important invitation of all: the exclusive, one-to-one meeting with Allah, which we are invited to 5 times a day through the Azaan. 

The session then moved into Seerat, exploring the first steps taken by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ upon arriving in Madinah. The discussion emphasized the construction of Masjid-e-Nabwi. As the discussion continued, children were asked how people could be mobilized towards prayer. Various suggestions—such as using bells or other signals—were discussed and compared to practices of other faiths, helping children understand why the Azaan was divinely chosen as a unique and powerful call. Basic etiquettes of listening to and responding to the Azaan, as well as conduct after it, were also discussed.

Following this, an Azaan Recitation Competition was held, where children delivered splendid performances. The competition was evaluated by a respected panel of judges including Qari Saeed (Shafqat Masjid), Maulana Obaidullah Sahib (Masjid-e-Ibrahim, Ph 4,DHA) & Qari Shoaib (General Secretary Sindh, Jamiat-ul-Qura).  Prizes were distributed to top 3 kids for 3 different age categories
