During a ceremony held on Thursday 1 December 2022 at Marsden Park Masjid children were awarded with completion certificates for completing ‘Fun & Learn’ activities in the presence of their parents and community leaders.
Islamic Forum for Australian Muslims (IFAM) Riverstone chapter has been conducting weekly kid’s “Fun & Learn” activities for the past one year with active kid’s participation at the mosque.
IFAM as an Islamic community organisation running various activities which intends to cater the Islamic learning needs of all genders and ages specially giving our kids Islamic education so they have a better understanding of their religion, can perform their duties and Islam becomes key part of their lives at an early age.
It is also seen that Islamic education for kids becomes imperative in countries like Australia where kids have very limited options of studying Islam.
These activities are designed in a way that kids have more involvement in sports as well besides Education. Sports activities includ soccer, cricket, table tennis for 8 years plus and few indoor sports for smaller kids.
The Sports and Fun activities have also been observed to increase Kids enthusiasm and zeal which helps in making them more fond of joining such classes.
Various Local brothers have been volunteering themselves for this noble cause and betterment of our young ones like Brother Zeeshan Asad, Brother Umair Nazim and Brother Waqas Kidwai.
In this year around 30 kids of different ages (ranging 8-12 yo) from the surrounding localities became part of “Fun & Learn” activities in Marsden Park Masjid.
The Islamic curriculum was designed so that kids become more familiar with basic Islamic Information like Pillars of Islam, Articles of Faith, Important Islamic events and their importance etc.
Kids were also told about the life of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s), his teachings and details of his companions.
Kids were made aware of Islamic manners like cleanliness, doing Ablution, reciting supplications before eating or drinking and Islamic greetings.
At the event few kids gave their power point presentation to show their understanding and interest about certain topics like Hajj and Fasting.
The event concluded with kid’s feast that included juices, cakes and pastries.
IFAM needs to be commended for this initiative and thanks to the volunteers who have been working tirelessly for this great cause.
