I am going to share my experience about a wonderful volunteering opportunity that I found by chance, and this chance was a wonderful coincidence that happened to me. One day, I was simply browsing online when I encountered a wonderful volunteering opportunity through a community-driven initiative - Seerat club for Kids. I got excited upon seeing the opportunity in STEM, but little did I know the true essence of this volunteering experience. Later, after talking with the core team, I realized that it was an opportunity at Masjid-e-Shafqat, where commnunity members strive to sow the seeds of love for science and religion in the hearts of children by fostering their connection with their community masjid, Shafqat Masjid.

There I was lost in my books, feeling as if I was wasting each minute passing by just studying continuously. I was desperate for a break, but again what would I do in my free time? Be a couch potato and lay on the couch, lazily flicking the TV channels in search of some relief, or training by thumb for a marathon by scrolling on my phone? No, I was in need of some type of excursion, an activity to keep myself busy as well as gaining serenity.

On Saturday, October 5th, 2024, the Seerat Club held its first-ever session at Shafqat Masjid. After Asr prayer, children aged 4-15 were registered and grouped by age, and I had the pleasure of leading the Yellow Group of boys aged 7 and below.
We kicked things off with some ice-breaking activities. I got to know each child’s unique personality—Sulaymaan was energetic and eager, Huzaifa started off shy but opened up beautifully, and Khalid was attentive and thoughtful. Zaid and Hashim were curious, always ready with a question, and each interaction was a joy. I had so much fun getting to know them, sharing stories, and discovering how each boy approached learning in his own way.

Recently, a three-day Seerat Camp was organized at Shafqat Masjid Phase 4 DHA in Karachi, spanning from July 25-27. The title was “MY PROPHET (PBUH) MY HERO”. As the title suggests, it revolved around the life of the Prophet (PBUH), in an attempt to educate kids more about his life and how it can be a role model for everyone. It taught kids that the heroes of the 21st century i.e Superman, Ironman, Spiderman, Hulk, etc; were nothing but pure fiction and the real heroes for Muslims, old or young are the Prophets and Companions, in particular the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
