Surah Naba and Pr. Ibrahim (AS)

The Deen Stars continued with Surah Naba with Br. Suffian. Hafsa and Zahara had Br. Sykander teaching them today.

For Islamic Studies, we finished off understanding the Hajj and Eid al-Adha. Br. Shizad explained in detail the story of Pr. Ibrahim (AS), and why he smashed the idols. The children acted out parts of the story using props and role play- to explain Hajjar’s search for water and the miracle of the Zam Zam.

They completed a fun worksheet together and discussed the answers.

 

Eid al-Adha

Is Eid always the same old routine? Going to pray, eating, dressing up and chatting! Well the Deen Club wasn’t having any of that!!! We had an Eid day to remember! Each family was given a part of the Hajj to present in front of the other families. The performances were then judged by Br. Said, Br. Rayhan and Br. Anwar.

Last but not least the children gave those jamarats a good whacking! This Eid was an Eid to remember, inshallah we hope Allah (SWA) blesses us with more memorable ones to come. Ameen.

Golden Day

It was Golden Day for the Deen Club children and we had a wonderful jam packed day of fun, fun, fun! The children moved around the house doing activities in small groups. With Sr. Nazra in the kitchen, there was a dawah activity explaining Eid al-Adha to non-Muslims. The children decorated a card and box with a delicious cupcake inside and a message.

Sr. Nadia and Sr. Yasmin did a fun word search finding key words related to Eid al-Adha and the Hajj. They also decorated a Hajj bookmark shaped as a pillar, because Hajj is the fifth and last pillar of Islam.

Inside as well, we had Sr. Moona and Sr. Nagum doing Eid cards for the children to make and decorate. The children had one for their mummies and daddies and two for a friend. The cards were then sealed and labelled ready to hand out on Eid day.

Outside with Br. Ephrahim, Br. Sykander, Br. Shizad and Br. Suffian was piñata decorating funI The three piñata boxes represented the three jamarats which are stoned during the Hajj. The children glued and stuck on colourful crepe paper.

The children had a great time and all of the sisters and brothers did a fantastic job, mashallah! Jazakullah khair to Br. Kashif for the photos.
