On Tuesday, 17 September 2024, in learning and reflecting upon the story of the Birth of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, Al-Siddiq International Kindergarten held a Storytelling Session to commemorate the Maulid Nabi 1446 Hijri. The session was delivered by Ustadz Fachrizza Mudzakky, S.H., Al-Hafidz, who serves as the Qur’an teacher at Al-Siddiq Kindergarten.
The event was filled with great enthusiasm and excitement as the pupils listened attentively to inspiring stories about the life of the Prophet. They were introduced to key moments surrounding the Prophet’s birth — such as the arrival of the army of elephants that intended to destroy the Ka’bah, but by Allah’s will, the birds of Ababil came carrying stones of fire to protect it, as well as the introduction to the family members of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.
The activity took place in the Al-Siddiq International School Mosque after the pupils had performed Dhuha prayer together. It was held to instil love for Prophet Muhammad S.A.W in the hearts of the children from an early age. Through the storytelling, which was delivered in a simple and engaging way suited to young learners, the main aim was to help them become more familiar with the Prophet — a role model for all Muslims.
In addition, it is hoped that through this celebration, the children will be inspired to emulate the values of kindness, compassion, and leadership exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.
