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.

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.
