Adara Releases Baitul Maqdis Education Module, 131 Educators Attend Workshop in Jakarta
Adara Relief International held the Baitul Maqdis Workshop for Educators, titled A Weaver of the Future, at the National Library of Indonesia in Jakarta on Sunday (19/7/2026). The event, attended by 131 educators, also marked the launch of the Indonesian-language version of the Prophets and Baitul Maqdis education module for teachers and students.
The module, created by educator and storyteller Sara El-Awaisi, equips teachers to teach children about the history and values of Baitul Maqdis through creative methods, ranging from storytelling and singing to activities such as Al Aqsa Playdough and Map Activity. The module has previously been used in several countries and is now available in Indonesian.
“Education is the most effective means of instilling values of compassion from an early age. We hope this workshop will strengthen our commitment and inspire renewed enthusiasm to continue supporting the struggle for the liberation of Masjid Al Aqsa,” said Maryam Rachmayani, Director of Adara Relief International, in remarks delivered via a recording from Istanbul, Türkiye, amid a humanitarian mission she was undertaking, in a statement released on Wednesday (22/7/2026).
As the main speaker, Sara El-Awaisi, Secretary of the Academy for Islamic Jerusalem Studies (ISRA) and founder of Aqsa for Kids, not only presented the material but also demonstrated directly how to teach it.
“It is very important to raise children who are aware of the significance of Masjid Al Aqsa. Today we launch its curriculum,” she said.
The workshop was attended by teachers, lecturers, education students, parents and representatives of children’s educational institutions. The event was organised through a collaboration between Adara Relief International, Al Aqsa Berkisah, Saladin Community, Baitul Maqdis Stories and Sabin for Palestine.
“This workshop is a small but meaningful step in nurturing the future generation’s care for Baitul Maqdis. We hope the seeds planted today will continue to grow, both in classrooms and in the heart of every child who learns about it. Programmes like this are part of Adara Relief International’s ongoing commitment to continue educating the public about Baitul Maqdis and Palestine,” said Latifah Hariawati, Programme Director of Adara Relief International.
The educational initiative will continue through the Al Aqsa Berkisah roadshow in conjunction with the Prophet’s Birthday, running from 24 August to 15 September 2026, bringing Adara’s storytellers directly to children.
