PICNIC OVERVIEW:
1. STARTING OF DAY:
Day was a very exciting for all. Everyone was discussing their plans for picnic.
The weather was cool and it was drizzling . As the students accumulated, Allah’s names were
recited to start the day, then incharges took the charge and all students lined up for attendance
and boarding the bus. Before boarding necessary instructions were read by the in charge which
was to be followed throughout the tour.
2. ENJOYMENT IN JOURNEY : As the weather was cool and with a long drive, the journey becames full of excitement .
Students kept themselves busy by reciting invocations, chatting with friends, We passed through
those areas of Karachi which we never saw before. Overall it was a very enjoyable journey.
3. FARM HOUSE:
We reached the farm house at 9:25 a.m. As we got down, we settled our stuff. We were
given a brief general introduction about the farm and everyone went to the fields

4. FIELDS TRIP:
We were very amazed to see different types of fields. Each had different vegetables. We
thanked Allah that He has given us so many different types of things to eat.it was very
impressive to see how some vegetable were under ground and some were above. Green
fields with bright purple, white, yellow and different colors all over really made us felt
that Allah is so kind to us. We should always be thankful to him

5. VISIT TO LOCAL WELL & TUBE WELL: We also had a peep inside the local well. The well was too deep even we couldn’t see the surface.
Peeping inside just for a second made us tremble We remembered the whole story of Hazrat
Yusuf (AS)How he was alone in the well but still he wasn’t hopeless from Allah.
There was also a tube well with local well. Local well’s water was distributed through tube well
to fields. We realized how Allah has given sense to humans to make all this distribution. Allah
has made man capable of digging well and taking out water from it. If it wasn’t there how could
anyone water the fields.

7. BACK FROM FIELDS:
After field trip was over we came back to the farm house where we setteled our stuff.
There was a pool but we weren’t allowed to jump into it because it was winter and
students could fall ill.
8. GAMES: We played different types of games like kho kho, baraf pani, cricket, badminton,
king- king. Some of our in charges also played with us which gave us a very nice feeling.
Running here and there, competing with friends in games passed our time very quickly.
There was also see-saw, swing, which we enjoyed alot. Some of students also climbed
trees

11. DISCUSSION:
After that we all sat down to have a small chat of what we had learned from the tour. Some
student recited poems and nasheed almost everyone got different types of lessons from the trip.
Some were impressed by the beauty of nature. Some expressed their fear about well. Some
thanked that Allah has made us human not donkey. The most effective part was that everyone
decided to eat vegetables from now on.
The farm owner fauzia baji also came to meet us us and asked our experience. She brought fruits
which we ate with pleasure. We thanked her for allowing us for such a nice picnic to her farm
and for the fruits as well.

12. DONKEY CART RIDE: After this we did the donkey cart ride. Everyone was excited to sit on donkey cart which gave us ride
around the farm house .We thanked ALLAH for blessing us with such an animal which took us through
the narrow pathways alongside the fields. We also thanked Allah that He has made us human.
13. WINDING UP:
Slowly and gradually we packed our stuff. Cleaned all mess. Students on duty performed their
duty nicely. We rode back to AL-HUDA discussing about each and every moment of picnic.
It was a very informative picnic which opened many aspects of nature and Allah’s blessing for us
to figure out. An extremely different experience for all us we realized that there can be picnic
without music We were only females there but Alhamdulillah since this picnic was a part of our
studies, and a kind of worship, Allah also helped us and we were back safely.

FEEDBACK OF STUDENTS:
1. All the creation of Allah takes less and gives so much in return, we should try to
adopt this quality.
2. Being close to nature cures all depression.
3. We must not waste any part of these vegetables and be grateful to Allah and the
people who put their effort in the fields
4. A picnic without Music – Totally possible.
5. I have never been to a picnic so organized and so disciplined.
6. We got goose bumps just by looking inside the well, wonder how Yusuf(a.s)
would have felt when he was thrown in it.
7. I saw perfect definition of Mukhtalifan Alwanuha- 3 tomatoes on the same plant
and all 3 of different colors.
