Transit & KAFA for School Kid at Office Area

I decided to open a Transit for school kids and KAFA class at our office complex in Taiping after our success with the childcare centre in 2000. Main reason? My kids needed KAFA education and i didn't have maid at home :D; but then again, it actually benefited almost 180 students and 120+ parents near the office complex...the respond was unbelievable!

I later decided to open a transit for school children, and later negotiated with Majlis Agama Islam Perak to open KAFA class since we have mosque in our office complex in Taiping. We appointed 2 teachers, Tahfiz AlQuran to run the KAFA school. I apponted one old lady to do the housekeeping (to make sure the mosque was always clean with so many kids around, not to distrupt the mosque). The parenst could also opt for lunch provided by the KAFA school management (and pay extra) or just pay for the KAFA class without lunch/food. So if their kids went to morning school, they could come back after school straight to KAFA class or in the morning before they went to school, they would go for KAFA class in the morning, take bath there and went to school direct after KAFA class if their school were in the afternoon.

Initially I observed that the kids were playing a foll when praying with adults. I discussed with the ustazs and requested that all KAFA students to pray separately with the ustazs to observe their movement during the prayer. At the same time, I asked the ustazs to asked the kids to recit the doa and surah clearly all at once so that everybody especially the smaller kids could follow. One of teh older kid was made the Imam to lead the prayer. Ustazs were supposed to observe and taught them the right way to perform teh prayer step by step.

They were also asked to recite Yassin and I challenged them to remember (hafaz) Yassin and other simple Surah by reciting those Surah loudly togather. Kids like to learn that way, loundly and with everybody, not one to one. And they will remember better when they hear and say especially when everybody was doing it. In a short period, they could 'hafaz' a few Surahs already and I was greatful to contribute to their success in 'hafazan', even a few simpel Surahs and Yassin, Alhamdulillah.
