In a grateful celebration of faith and learning, all of students from Al Falah Darussalam 2 gathered to commemorate Isra Mi’raj. For us, Isra’ Mi’raj marks the miraculous night journey of Rasulullah. This sacred event, which took place in a single night, is a cornerstone of Islamic belief and the moment when the five daily prayers were settled.
To honour this profound occasion, a series of educational competitions were held, aimed to deepen students’ love, strengthen their connection to Islamic values as well as understand more about Rasulullah. The activities also designed to foster the students’ linguistic skills and creative expression for 1st up to 6th grader. As an opening of the event, Ustadzah Titik roled as a storyteller to teach and persuade students became more interesting in the event. One of the highlights of the best event was the Arabic speech competition. Students are asked to act out like a native, delivered their powerful speeches. Surely, the Arabic competition was more than a test of fluency but also was a sincere effort to inculcate a deep sense of pride and affection for the language of Islam.
Besides Arabic, there was the English storytelling contest as a tool for students to narrate stories of moral courage and spiritual insight about Isra’ Mi’raj. This activity aligned with the goals of the International Class Program (ICP) in Al Falah Darussalam 2, which emphasizes global communication skills. Through storytelling, students were encouraged to embrace English as a tool for sharing Islamic values with the wider world. Then, there was a mind mapping competition for upper-grade students. It was designed to enhance their literacy and critical thinking skills. Participants were challenged to summarize about Isra’ Mi’raj using their own visual diagrams based on their creativity. This activity not only tested their comprehension but also encouraged them to be more creative.
Meanwhile, students in grades 1 to 3 took part in an English essay writing contest. Through this activity, the young learners expressed their understanding about Isra’ Mi’raj in their own words, nurturing both language development and spiritual reflection for young learners. Competitions in iqomah, adzan, and congregational prayer were held to reinforce the importance of daily worship. The competitions were also aimed for helping students understand more about the obligation of doing five daily prayers. These activities allowed students to practice the rituals of Islam with confidence and reverence, fostering a sense of discipline and unity.
The event was a harmonious blend of intellect and faith, designed to cultivate well-rounded individuals who are spiritually grounded and academically prepared. All of teachers hoped that celebrating Isra’ Mi’raj would leave a lasting impression on the students, inspiring them to cherish their religious heritage while excelling in modern competencies. Through this multifaceted approach, Isra’ Mi’raj commemoration became more than a ceremony. It became a living classroom of fully devotion, language, and leadership. Last but not least, Ustadzah Juniati hoped the event can help us to enhance the students’ gratitude to Allah as well as strengthen our iimaan. Ameen.
