On the 22nd of December, the Childrens Islamic Library held a childrens majlis to
commemorate the tragedy of Kerbala. The program began at 1.30pm, the children were
welcomed in & invited to choose a book or game to read or play. At 1.45pm the program
started with the recitation of the Holy Quran, followed by Marsia & then followd by a
short interactive talk on "Love in Kerbala" which was suitable for all ages.
After the talk the children sat in a large circle, & the lights were switched off & a c&le was
lit. The c&le was passed to each child & the child said one thing that they had learned from
the tragedy of Kerbala. The children then did maatam.
The program wrapped up with a craft activity, where the children made a thank you card for
someone who helps us in the community but who we don't usually say thanks to e.g. a
policeman, fireman, gardener etc. Some of the children then went outside to play. When
leaving the children were h&ed fatiha.
