The Doodle Revolution: How Simple Art Changes Perspectives 🎨✨

Bismillah: Over the years, we’ve witnessed the transformative power of doodling in Quranic education. What began as a simple activity to engage our children has grown into a cornerstone of our teaching method. Doodling allows children to visually explore Quranic stories and concepts, making learning interactive, fun, and deeply personal. This "doodle revolution" has changed the way we approach education, proving that simple art can have a profound impact on understanding and retention. 🌍

Why Doodling Works 🌱

• Visual Learning: Doodling taps into the natural way children process information—visually. By creating their own illustrations, children reinforce their understanding of Quranic teachings and retain the lessons more effectively.
• Encouraging Expression: Doodling gives children a creative outlet to express their thoughts and feelings about the stories they learn. This personal connection to the material enhances their engagement and makes the lessons more meaningful.
• Fostering Reflection: Through doodling, children are encouraged to reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, thinking deeply about how they relate to their own lives. This reflective process helps solidify the teachings in their hearts and minds. ✏️

One of the most impactful moments was when Nurin shared a doodle she created of the story of Prophet Nuh (AS). Her drawing beautifully captured the essence of the story, and through this process, she developed a deeper understanding of trust in Allah’s plan. 🌟

This phase of our journey highlighted the Inspire and Integrate pillars, as we used doodling to make Quranic lessons more accessible and impactful for children. The "doodle revolution" is about more than just drawing—it's about transforming the way we teach and learn the Quran.

As Allah says in the Quran:

"Do they not reflect upon themselves? Allah created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in truth and for an appointed term." (Surah Ar-Rum, 30:8) 🌟

This verse reminds us of the importance of reflection, a key element in the doodling process.

A Peek Into Our Conversations 🗨️

Nurin: "Ummi, can I draw my favorite Quran story again?"

Ummi Ziehan: "Of course, Nurin! Doodling helps you understand the story better and remember its lessons."

Syauqi: "I want to draw too! Maybe I can add something new to the story."

Daddy Ikram: "That’s a great idea, Syauqi! Each time you doodle, you’re thinking about the story in a new way, which helps you learn even more."

End Note: The doodle revolution has transformed Quranic learning into a creative, reflective, and deeply engaging process. Join us next time as we explore how our doodling resources have made a global impact and continue to inspire young learners around the world. 🎨✨
