Background
In our nation today we have war, murder, rape, illegal drug sale and use, robbery, violence of all kinds, exploitation, pollution, corruption, illiteracy, sexual immorality, addictions to various harmful substances, and many other social problems. All these wrongs exist as a result of the fast deteriorating behaviour of our youths which is further supported by a general lack of positive values, declining motivation, and a feeling of hopelessness for their future.
Realizing this, The Little Khalifah Shop was started with a several objectives as follows.
Objectives of the Shop
The objectives of LKS are as follows:-
- To be a one-stop centre for society to obtain materials
- To be a service centre for parenting education and knowledge transmission
- To create an environment where children gain a great love in their hearts for all that is good, a love for knowledge, and a reasoned dislike of all that is wrong.
- To teach children to fully understand the importance of their role as a vicegerent and with the role, comes great responsibilities
Vision
The Little Khalifah Shop aspires to be the preferred provider of Islamic children's materials in order to help our children become good and true Muslims, in line with their role as Khalifah of Allah.
Motto
"Let's be Part of The Transforming Generation - The Khalifah Way"
History of The Little Khalifah Shop
In November 2003, The Little Khalifah Shop was first formed as an online Children's Bookstore. Due to a huge demand and very good response, The Little Khalifah Shop decided to open a physical shop in May 2004 at a location in Section 5 Wangsa Maju. In July 2006, The Little Khalifah Shop moved to its present location in Taman Permata, Ulu Klang.
The Little Khalifah Shop was later expanded to include Islamic Children's Activities such as Islamic Storytelling, Art& Craft, Kitchen Skills Class, Solat Class, Science Workshop, Arabic Class, Hadith Class, Tafseer Class, etc.
All these activities fall under the division of Little Khalifah Activity Center and its activities are not only done at Taman Permata center but also elsewhere upon invitation by other organizations such as suraus & masjids, schools, corporate bodies, and resident organizations.
Our programs include weekday activities such as:
- Little Khalifah Toddlers' Playgroup (internal),
- Little Khalifah Reading Program(internal),
- Little Khalifah Busy Bee After School Program (external)
whereas our weekends activities are as follows:
- Islamic Storytelling (internal & external),
- Science Workshops Program (internal & external),
- Kitchen Skills/Cooking Class (internal & external)
- Other talks & workshops that we feel are necessary for the ummah.

Our Hope

It is our small contribution to the ummah and we hope parents would continue to support us and our activities, so that we could expand further and truly become a one-stop-center for parents to obtain materials for their children as well as children to become good Khalifah of Allah.
