We are thrilled to share the success of the Little Hajj program, an exclusive annual event by Little Caliphs® International Sdn. Bhd., designed specifically for our 6-year-old students. This unique Hajj Simulation Program offers a deeply enriching experience that prepares young minds for the spiritual journey of a lifetime.
Every Muslim dreams of embarking on the sacred journey of Hajj, the fifth pillar of Islam. This profound pilgrimage to Mecca, where they can witness the Holy Kaaba and seek spiritual renewal, is a cornerstone of faith. Performing Hajj at least once in a lifetime is not just a requirement, but the pinnacle of a Muslim’s spiritual growth and development.
This year’s Little Hajj was held on the 5th and 6th of June 2024 at Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, from 8 AM to 1 PM. The event was a collaborative effort with all Little Caliphs® Program operators from the Selangor/KL region. Our primary goal was to provide practical, hands-on learning through the Project Based Learning (PBL) methodology, in line with our educational philosophy.
The program was honored by the presence of Datuk Haji Roslan bin Nordin, Group Chief Executive Officer of Little Caliphs® International Sdn. Bhd., who officiated the program. Adding to the excitement, we were also joined by the distinguished Datin Dr. Hajjah Sabariah Faridah binti Haji Jamaluddin, Chief Academic Officer (CAO) of Little Caliphs® International Sdn. Bhd., and Encik Ahmad bin Jamaludin, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Little Caliphs® International Sdn. Bhd.
We were delighted to see 3,796 enthusiastic 6-year-old students from 113 Little Caliphs® kindergartens participated in this immersive experience. Dressed in the traditional white garments (Ihram Cloth), the children marched around a model of the Holy Kaaba, simulating the true essence of Hajj.
Through this program, our young participants gained a comprehensive understanding of the fifth pillar of Islam. They explored the various pillars of Hajj, including Ihram, Wuquf, Tawaf, Sa’i, and Tahallul, ensuring they are well-prepared for the future.
Mark your calendars for the next session of Little Hajj 2024, set to take place on 26th June 2024 at Masjid Sultan Abdul Samad KLIA. Over two thousand children from 72 kindergartens will join us for another unforgettable experience.
Little Hajj 2024 will reach even more young hearts through our extensive network of nearly 500 kindergartens across Malaysia and Indonesia.
