Masjid is one of the important institutions to know and love Allah SWT, gain knowledge, empower, and unite the ummah. However, the current masjid design may have overlooked on the needs of children and their family as can be seen from several masjid design guidelines such as the Garis Panduan dan Peraturan bagi Perancangan Bangunan 2015 from Jabatan Perdana Menteri (JPM), Deraf Garis Panduan Perancangan Masjid dan Surau 2011 from Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Desa Semenanjung Malaysia (JPBD), and the Architecture and Asset Management of Masjid from Malaysian Standard (MS2577:2014).
