Dastarkhān Dining Experience

At Ma'had Urwah, we prioritise the practice of sunnah acts, starting with our communal lunch break. Mubzies gather around a dastarkhān to enjoy their meal. Before eating, they wash their hands and recite the du'ā together. Encouraging neat and calm eating habits, once finished, learners are reminded to recite the du'ā after eating, pack up, and wash up before enjoying ample playtime.

Sunnah Board in the Suffah Area

Our school proudly displays a Sunnah Board in the communal Suffah area. This board serves as a visual representation of the sunnah acts practiced by our learners throughout the day. Teachers use it to track and acknowledge the implementation of sunnah acts, fostering motivation and reinforcement among our Mubzies.


Miswāk Minute Ritual

We instill a love for the sunnah of using the Miswāk by dedicating a “Miswāk Minute” at the beginning of every lesson. Each learner is provided with a personal Miswāk and storage case, carefully labelled and kept by their teacher. Encouraging the use of the Miswāk not only promotes oral hygiene but also nurtures an appreciation for this beloved sunnah.

Warm Greetings


Smiling and handshaking are essential practices for our Mubzies. Every day, learners are personally greeted by their teachers, fostering a sense of warmth and belonging. Additionally, the sunnah of shaking hands is encouraged as part of our greeting ritual, promoting kindness and connection within our school community.

Removing Shoes When Eating


In line with the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ we have incorporated the practice of removing shoes when eating into our school day. This simple act not only aligns with the Sunnah but also promotes cleanliness and mindfulness during breaking.

Application of ‘Itr (Perfume) for Boys


As part of our efforts to instill Sunnah practices in our school, we have begun applying ‘itr (perfume) for the boys before the day commences. The Prophet Muhammad  encouraged the use of fragrance, saying: “The best scent for men is that which is strong and refreshing.” (Sunan Ibn Majah) By following this Sunnah, we aim to cultivate a sense of personal hygiene and respect for oneself and others among our learners.
