For
Quran the children are continuing to work on surah Nazi'aat. Its been two weeks
since their last last lesson, but mashallah the children have kept going with
learning and practicing at home.
This week Umar and Abdulla worked particualry
well when reciting the Quran. Brother Suffian found choosing between the two very
difficult. Abdulla went away with the trophy for making less
mistakes and for consistently
trying his best, well done.
The
children worked with Brother Shizad on the five pillars of Islam. He got the
children to first make a house of cards, which proved to be difficult for them.
He then began to make a house of cards slowly and explaining how as muslims we
have five pillars: Shahadah (declaration of faith), Salah (five prayers) Zakat
(charity), Sawm (fasting in Ramadan), Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah).
Brother
Shizad explained how important each pillar is in order to be strong muslims, if
one pillar is weak then our imman will also be weak like a house of cards. The
stars then cut and pasted a description of one of the five pillars to each pillar on a
worksheet.
