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.

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

Next Session: The First Responders

2nd August '25

Last Session: At-Taahirah

The 8th Seerat Club session, held on 4th July '25 at Shafqat Masjid, began with a brief recap of the early life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). This was followed by 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. The children learned how her generosity played a key role in the spread of 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. This helped the children connect Islamic values with real-world problem-solving & innovation.

The session continued with the story of the reconstruction of the Kaaba. The children explored how a conflict among the Quraysh tribes was peacefully resolved through the wisdom of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), turning a potentially hostile situation into one of unity through team work.

🕌 After Maghrib prayers, two parallel activities took place:

For younger children (under 7):

Lemonade Stand Challenge—They created posters, squeezed lemons for fresh juice, and came up with creative marketing pitches. The activity encouraged teamwork, confidence, and basic business skills in a fun, hands-on way.

For older children (8+) :

Mini CEO Challenge - Divided into teams, they brainstormed a business idea, filled out a planning template, designed a poster, and presented their pitch to a panel of judges.

Each group was supported by mentors from the local community, including professionals from fields such as IT, engineering, supply chain, academia, and marketing. These mentors guided them throughout the process and helped them think creatively and critically.

The panel of judges included:

Arsalan Ajmal, Founder – Chottay Sikkay 

Dr. Umair Arif, CEO – AI Disrupt Labs 

Ahsan Imtiaz, Marketing Specialist

Despite limited time, the children presented their ideas with enthusiasm and clarity. Prizes were awarded for the best lemonade stand, best business idea, best pitch, and best poster. But truly—every child was a winner, walking away with new skills & confidence.
