Isra & Mi'raj

The 10th Seerat Club Session – Isra & Mi’raj was held on 6th September 2025 at Shafqat Masjid, from Asr to Isha

Our Seerat journey continued with a focus on the difficulties faced by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in Makkah during the early years of Prophethood. Children learned about:

The struggles of early Muslim converts like Hazrat Bilal (RA).

The first migration of Muslims to Habsha.

The social boycott in Sha‘ib Abi Talib.

The passing away of Hazrat Khadija (RA) and Abu Talib, marking the Year of Sorrow (Aam-ul-Huzn).

The painful rejection at Taif.

👉 Through these events, 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.

🎨 Activity for Younger Kids

An interactive leather craft activity of Masjid al-Aqsa was conducted by Leather Dude (Junaid Vohra). Children received DIY kits from Leather for Kids, blending education with play and introducing them to creativity, problem-solving, and the use of natural materials in a STEAM-based approach.

🌍 Activity for Elder Kids (8+)

A Model United Nations (MUN) session was held on the Palestine issue.

Children first received a briefing on the history of Palestine and the current situation in Gaza.

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.

Teams were then assigned different countries and, with guidance from mentors, prepared speeches and proposed solutions in line with their country's foreign policy.

It was a role-play where kids acted as country delegates, presented their stance, and debated solutions for Palestine — learning teamwork, confidence, and how global decisions are made.
