Surah Fatiha and Allah (SWA) can see us

For our second week the children made a start of reciting the Quran. They have all begun with Surah Fatiha with the teachers Br. Suffiyan, Br. Sykander, Sr. Yasmin and Sr. Nagum listening to the children’s recitation, as well as grouping the children in accordance to what stage they are in.

 

Br. Kashif worked with the children to teach them about Allah (SWA) seeing them everywhere. He talked about Allah (SWA) being the Al-Basir (the all seeing). The children watched a cartoon which explained this concept.

They did a  drawing and wrote a sentence to say where Allah (SWA) can see them. Br. Kashif then set them a challenge of thinking about a special place where Allah (SWA) can see them. After some thought Abdulla got it right and said, ‘In your heart, Allah (SWA) can even see what is in your heart!’ 

The children listened to the story of the ‘thirsty man and a dog,’ and how he enters jannah for feeding the thirsty dog by going into the well. Br. Kashif explained that no one could see his actions, even the dog couldn’t praise the man’s hard efforts. But Allah (SWA) sees everything and has granted this man jannah, subhanallah
