Assalamu Alaikum:

Today I listened to the students recite the first 8 verses of Surah Al-Alaq for their second homework. Most had the verses memorized without any serious mistakes (alhamdulillah). Thank you for your encouragement. Please ask your children for their graded HW sheets and let me know of any questions or concerns.

I have attached the next HW (#3) which consists of memorizing verses 1-14 of Surah Al-Alaq; it is due this coming Sunday (Oct 8).

Most of the students also had an opportunity to recite 1 or 2 old surahs (see the list of all old surahs at the end of this message). Please continue to encourage your children to refresh these surahs; they will have an opportunity to recite 1 or 2 surahs in almost every class (inshallah).

I also handed out the details of a presentation project on Surah Al-Alaq to all students; the handout is also attached with this update. Please go over it with your children so they are clear on what is being asked of them. Once again, feel free to contact me with any questions.

There is a Service Project this coming Sunday (Oct 8) which is optional. All participating students will earn bonus points. For this service project, students will accompany other students from Sunday school to visit the elderly in St. Barnabas Assisted Living facility in Gibsonia.

  • Is Qur’an a story book? Why or why not?

Dear Parents,

Today, we reviewed our discussion of Lesson 1 (Attributes of Allah) and mostly covered Lesson 2 (The Promise of Allah). Here are the things students are expected to know from Lesson 1:

  • Islam has three legs: faith, ibadat, muamelat
  • 5 pillars of Islam and 6 articles of faith
  • Why do we need to know the attributes of Allah (swt)
  • Do we know how Allah (swt) looks like?
  • What's "Asma al Husna?"
  • Know and understand the meaning of the following 5 names of Allah (swt): Rab, arRahman, arRahim, alMalik, AlAdl

Please review these questions with your child and make sure he/she is comfortable with the answers. 

Homework for Oct 31st: Today, we learned verse 194 of Surah Al-i Imran (3:194). It is a beautiful dua and worth memorizing along with its translation/meaning. Therefore, I've assigned it as a homework for this week: Memorize the verse in Arabic and its translation (attached to this update as an image, also available on page 16 of the textbook).

I've also asked students to turn-in first week's homework (Page 13) on a piece of paper instead of marking the answers on the book.
