Raising hearts under the light of Wilayah. Join us for story time, crafts, and creative play as we nurture little ones by remembering Allah (swt) and the values of the Holy Household (a). This will be a spiritually uplifting afternoon of faith, friendship, and community building with mamas and babies across North America.
The session will flow in two parts: first, a guided story and craft time, followed by purposeful free play. We understand that attending with little ones may mean arriving a bit late or needing to leave early, and we welcome you to participate in whatever way works best for your family.

Drop-off program
Big hearts, big questions, and bold Muslim identities. In this interactive drop-off session, children will dive into stories from the Adventures of Muslim Kids podcast, guided by Ms. Zahra, Ms. Sarah and narrators Ahmed and Zaynab—joined live by Mulla Ali Fadhil! Through engaging games, inspiring lessons, and meaningful conversations, kids will explore everyday challenges like peer pressure, fitting in, and choosing what’s right—while proudly holding onto their Muslim identity.
Each session includes a podcast listening circle, fun games with prizes, and hands-on tarbiyyah-building activities rooted in the teachings of the Ahlulbayt (a). A space where growing minds are heard, challenged, and uplifted—one adventure at a time.

Step into a creative space where Creativity & Akhlāq come together! In this 90-minute program, children will explore the beauty of Islamic art while learning how good character helps us grow strong, like trees with deep roots.
Children will have the opportunity to explore their creativity in different ways while reflecting on how the values of the Qurʾān and the Ahlul Bayt (ʿa) can guide their everyday lives.
This program makes self-expression meaningful and fun, welcoming both beginners and those with more experience. Each child will leave with something unique they have created and a reminder that when faith strengthens our roots, we can grow and flourish, inshāʾAllāh.
