Kid Programme

Alhamdulillah. Praises to Allah the Almighty.

Last Friday, (23th December 2011), an activity for muslim children in Iwate was held at a one of the Malaysian student house. The event was conducted by 5 female Malaysian students as facilitators. The programme started at 12: 30 pm with the “let’s sing!” slot.

A nasyeed song “ I am a muslim” by Yusof Islam was choosen by the facilitators to start this educational activity. The kids learned how to use the phrase “Bismillah” and “Alhamdulillah” in their daily life.

After the sing-along session, the next activity was the "coloring activity". Each one of them was given a picture and they were asked to color them with their own creativity. After they had finished,the facilitator would then explained what the picture is all about. Through this activity, the kids learnt about Islamic dress code, which require everyone to cover their aurat.
The coloring activity was ended at 3:30 pm.

 We perform Asar prayer together with the kids. Alhamdulillah, despite of their young age, they are able to perform the prayer correctly but there are still room for improvement. Next time, InsyaAllah, we will have a session to improvise their prayer.
All the joy and excitement ended at 3:45 p.m. and we do hope this programme would benefit the kids in their Islamic education during their stay in Japan.

This program was a very great start for muslim children in Iwate to learn about Islam in more fun ways. The children also gave unexpected respond to the facilitators as they participated actively in every slot. This kind of activities also should be continued to build a strong muslim community in Japan. Insya Allah.
Thanks to everyone for their own contribution to make the activity a success.
We hope to see all the kids again next time :)
