Introduction

In tonight's session led by Kak Erlan Iskandar, the importance of balancing play and responsibilities was emphasized, especially for children. The session started with a warm greeting, “Asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,” encouraging the children to answer with enthusiasm. This created an engaging atmosphere as the children got to know each other and share their names.

Kak Erlan initiated activities with interactive questions about the children’s daily routines, prompting laughter and responses about showering and using various types of water. He cleverly used a humorous narrative about cows and bathing to catch their attention. This approach was aimed at instilling concentration and listening skills among the children.

As the session progressed, Kak Erlan transitioned into the main theme: “You can play as long as you don’t neglect your duties.” He explained the concept of negligence, demonstrating through relatable scenarios that children may face while playing, such as ignoring their parents' calls or neglecting prayers.

Kak Erlan shared the inspiring story of a scholar, Haiwah Bin Suure, who postponed his teaching to respond to his mother’s call. This narrative reinforced the message that fulfilling parental expectations is equally important, even in moments of play and fun.

The interactive session included competitions for neatness and rewards, encouraging children to participate eagerly. Kak Erlan emphasized the significance of sitting calmly and competing for prizes in a fun and fair manner. He encouraged them not to harm their friends while playing and to respect each other’s feelings.

The energetic atmosphere continued with games and quizzes that required the children to follow commands, which infused an element of physical activity with learning. The concept of duty and the theme of not forgetting obligations—like prayers—while having fun was repeatedly reinforced throughout the activities.

Kak Erlan concluded the session by encouraging gratitude towards parents and the organizers, reminding children to always remember their obligations and adhere to Islamic teachings. He summarized key lessons in a way that made them memorable, helping to instill values of diligence and respect in every participant.
