Ustadh Kareem, a kind-hearted teacher with a gentle smile, stands at the front of the class, holding a small pitcher of water. His eyes twinkle with warmth as he prepares to teach his young students the importance of ablution.
"Today, we will learn about ablution, an essential practice in Islam," Ustadh Kareem announces, his voice calm and inviting. Amina, a curious girl with bright eyes, raises her hand. "Why do we need to do ablution, Ustadh?" she asks with genuine interest.
"Ablution is a way to purify ourselves before we pray," he explains. Ali, a thoughtful boy sitting in the front row, nods in understanding. "It's like washing away the dust of the day so we can be closer to Allah," Ustadh Kareem adds, his voice imbued with reverence.
"First, we wash our hands," he says, pouring water over his hands. Zara, a quiet girl with a shy smile, mimics his actions, her concentration evident. "Next, we rinse our mouths and nose, then wash our faces," he continues, each step deliberate and meaningful.

Ustadh Kareem gathers the children around for a final thought. "Remember, ablution is not just about cleanliness. It's a moment to reflect and prepare our hearts for prayer," he reminds them. The children nod, their eyes bright with understanding and newfound appreciation.
