THE GIFT OF SALAH
As Muslims, we know that Salah is a crucial aspect of our faith. However, it can be challenging to instill this understanding in children, especially when they are young. At Ahlan Academy, we recognize the importance of creating a positive and engaging learning environment for our children, which is why we have developed The Gift Of Salah: Salah Superstars programme for children aged 6-9 & Salah Titans for tweens aged 10-12.
Our programme is designed to make Salah a fun and meaningful experience for children. We believe that by teaching them the history and significance of Salah, and incorporating interactive activities and games, we can help them appreciate the beauty and importance of Salah in their daily lives.
The Gift Of Salah programme is designed to inspire children to become enthusiastic about performing Salah, not just because it is a requirement of our faith, but because it is a gift given to us by Allah. We aim to create a generation who understand the value of this important act of worship and who look forward to performing it with joy and enthusiasm.

What is the different between this programme to the other salah programmes?
Firstly, our age group, in every salah programmes, there will be a problem of age gap. In addition to the complexity of the content. Therefore, we decide to separate age gap, this is to ensure that all of them can comprehend the knowledge and able to fully grasp the knowledge theoretically and practically. Our focus is the comprehension of the participant. Therefore, we decided to separate the age group.

This year Ahlan Academy is aiming to expand its reach to Denai Alam and set-up a physical academy for the people of Shah Alam, Denai Alam, Puncak Alam and Setia Alam or even Klang. Therefore, part of the expansion is to also bring our programme across lembah klang and Selangor. The objective is to aim for a bigger reach audience from various areas.
