The glorious Qur’an and the ahadeeth of our glorious Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) are full of exhortations with regard to travelling lands, visiting places and drawing lessons of wisdom from historical past or biological present or astronomical future.
It is Enjoined upon Muslims to Endeavour to Explore, Experience, Excavate and Experiment – you discover amazing facts when you are out in the field with a yearning heart and discerning mind.
Field Trip Enriches one’s knowledge and Enhances one’s performance level by motivating one to consciously perform one’s Ibadaah in the best possible manner. One begins to appreciate the Exalted Majesty of Allah’s Glory and Grandeur. One ultimately starts developing Allah-consciousness.

Assalam sir ,how about an Umrah Trip?
Wa alaikumus salam.
That would be amazing!
We thought of that once but could not make it.
Organising school will be needing Ministry’s prior approval to go ahead.
Assalam sir ,
sir how about a trip to the graveyard for grades 9 -12 ,they have the lesson also in their curriculum concerning death,may be give them a workshop
wa alaikumus salam.
It’s a good idea but unfortunately not practical in UAE context.
Assalam Sir,
Is there any possibilities for all the Single – Filipino women working here in UAE to perform hajj or umrah without their family? Please let us know how, or if there are organizations here that can help us.
Jazzakala Khair.
Wa alaikumus salam.
No, it is allowed for any Muslim woman, as a group or a individual, to perform hajj or umrah unless they are accompanied by a Mahram (a person to whom marriage is unlawful)
Both countries, Saudi as well as UAE, do not allow this as the Law is very strict in this regard.
Thank you.
Dubai Holy Quran International Award Building, Al Mamzar.
There is a museum in which more information are there for children regarding Makkah, Madinah, about Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his companions. There is a separate museum for Holy Qur’an.
We organised field trip to this place for past 3 years.. children enjoy and learned a lot.
