On 26th September 2026, Seerat Club held its 8th session at Masjid-e-Shafqat, Karachi, taking children on an interactive journey through the world beyond Arabia at the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. 🌿🗺️

The session began outdoors in the Masjid verandah, where children worked together on a life-size world map puzzle, recreating the world around Arabia as it was approximately 1,400 years ago.

Children pieced together the map and recreated landmarks representing the different kingdoms & civilizations connected to the event theme— including the Pyramids of Egypt, the Colosseum of the Roman Empire, Takht-i-Bahi representing the Persian world, and a castle representing Abyssinia. Volunteers guided the children throughout the activity, helping them understand the geography while bringing the map and its landmarks to life. 🏛️🌍

The map activity was followed by a briefing from Maulana Owais, who introduced the children to the letters sent by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to different rulers, inviting them towards Islam. The discussion highlighted how important it was to understand who should carry an important message, and how selecting the right person for the right responsibility can make a difference.

Geography was woven into the Seerah as children identified the lands, civilizations and rulers connected to these letters, helping them visualize how the message of Islam travelled beyond the Arabian Peninsula. ✉️

The session then moved from the historical letters of the Prophet ﷺ to the modern idea of a pen pal. Children learnt how letters can create friendships and connect people even when they live far apart. 💌

They then put the idea into practice by writing heartfelt letters to children in Palestine. Each child personalized their letter with drawings, stickers, colours and other decorations, before carefully placing it in an envelope and finishing it with a wax seal. The completed letters were then dropped into the Seerat Club post box to begin their journey. ❤️📮

In a beautiful gesture, the children also decided to send the prizes from the letter-writing competition as gifts to the children who receive their letters in Palestine, turning their celebration into an act of sharing and friendship. 🎁❤️

InshaAllah, the letters will soon make their way to children in Gaza.

From rebuilding a map of the world to writing a letter to a child thousands of kilometres away, the session helped children experience a simple but powerful idea: a message can travel far beyond the person who sends it. 🌍💌
