I was reciting Ala Hazrat's Salaat-o-Salaam since I was in my teens, only 10 yrs later did I really start to appreciate the words.

Nice initiative, good to see children being engaged and actually pondering on what is being taught. Madrassa education for me was a case of reading a script and not going beyond this, discussion or analysis was non-existent. Reading something in Urdu but not fully understanding was sometimes a hindrance, bringing out the creativity of the kids and communicating in their mother tongue will only make them explore the religion even more keeping their interest alive which will no doubt become evident in their overall behaviour.

By the way poem 3 has my vote.
