"Life is Beautiful with Prayer" programs organized by the Qur'an Generation Platform continue in many different provinces of Turkey.
Hundreds of children aged 7-10 came together in this context through the program organized by the platform's Marmara coordination office in Istanbul.
Children, after a month of training, learned prayers, ablutions, prayer surahs, prayers [salaah] and Hadiths, and ended their education with a final program.
Hundreds of children gathered in Fatih Saraçhane Park, walked to the Şehzadebaşı mosque with many different banners such as "Life is beautiful with prayer", "Prayer is the light of my eyes", "Prayer is the blessing of a house", "Parents teach me prayer".
"It is the mothers who shape the society," said Mullah Cemal Çınar, a member of ITTIHAD AL-ULEMA [Union of Scholars] who gave a speech in the program.
"You tried to send your children to mosques in the name of Allah. We hope that these children will be the conquerors of Al-Quds tomorrow. I hope that in the future, thanks to the children you have raised, the most powerful sound will be the sound of Islam."
Speaking to ILKHA after the program, children thanked the Qur'an Generation Platform for organizing such a program.
"It was a very nice program. Thank you very much for the Qur'an Generation Platform. I learned to read the Qur'an, perform prayer and perform ablution," said Muhammed Yusuf Sivi.
Another child, Ishak Koç said: "I learned a lot from the book given by the Qur'an Generation Platform. I started to pray and read the Qur'an. Thanks to my teachers."
"We thank everyone who contributed here. Everyone should pray. Prayer is the pillar of religion. Life is beautiful with prayer," said Büşra Sakçı.
Another student Melis Uslu said: "I learned to pray when I came here. Here the children read the adhan and the Qur'an. I say a lot of greetings to those who are watching us. Prayer is the pillar of religion."
