Teaching children about Al-Israa and Al-Mi’raj requires a thoughtful and age-appropriate approach.

Here are some practical tips for teaching your Muslim kids about this incredible journey:
Start with the Basics: Explain that Al-Israa refers to the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) journey from Mecca to Jerusalem. While Al-Mi’raj refers to his subsequent ascension to the heavens. Use simple language and relatable examples.
Emphasize the Miracle: Highlight that this was a special gift from Allah, demonstrating His infinite power and love for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Children naturally connect with stories of the extraordinary.
Engage with Storytelling: Bring the narrative to life! Use vivid descriptions, expressive narration, and even consider age-appropriate visuals. Imagine the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) feelings, the sights he witnessed, and the angels he met.
Connect to Salah (Prayer): Explain that the five daily prayers were ordained during the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) ascension. This connection reinforces the importance of Salah in Islam and its direct link to this miraculous event.
