Assalamu Alaikum: Today, on the first day of Spring semester, I introduced verse 284 of Surah Al-Baqarah and handed out HW #9 (see attached). This HW is due next week (Jan 20), so please help your children memorize this verse.

There was a commment made in MAP Winter Fundraising Dinner by one of the youth that her little brother "got more HW in Sunday School than in regular school". Some youth also expressed that Sunday school expected children to memorize long surahs. I would like to hear your thoughts (as parents) on the amount of HW your children are assigned in Quran 5 and if you are concerned about the work load. You can see me on any Sunday after the class period ends at 12pm, or at other times by appointment.

Children should have received their Fall report cards today. Let me know if there are any questions are concerns.

Beautiful names of Allah's (SWT) Project:  Some children brought posters for their assigned names. I will collect it from them next week and find a way to dispaly them in class. Other children have decided to come up with a slide show and I have asked them to send me their slides by next Sunday so I can put all slides in one slide-show. I will let you know of a date in a 2-3 weeks when you can listen to your children talk about their slides during the class period; I hope you will make time to listen to your children's presentation (inshallah).

1. Al-Malik - Alina
2. As-Salaam - Faatima Tirmizi
3. Al-Muhaymin - Heba
4. Al-Aziz - Sarah
5. Al-Muttakabbir - Fatima Bokhari
6. Al-Khaliq - Faaris
7. Al-Baari - Zaid
8. Al-Jabbar - Maryam
9. Al-Mussawar - Naeema

Storytime by Some of Quran 5 Students: Following children will be working on a story for younger children (date to be decided) on the great event of first revelation in Cave Hira:

  • Naeema (Muhammad (S) Before Becoming a Prophet)
  • Faaris (Visit of Anegl Jibrael in Cave Hira)
  • Alina (Muhammad (S) Returns from Cave Hira to Khadija)
  • Hebah (Khadijah takes Muhammad (S) to her cousin Warqa)

Please work with your children on developing their part of the story.

Assalamu Alaikum: Today children recited verses 21 thru 24 of Surah Al-Hashr for HW#8. All of them did a wonderful job (Masha' Allah). Thank you for your support and encouragement. Please check their HW sheets for their grades.

Children will receive their Fall report cards next week. Let me know if there are any questions are concerns.

Children should start working on the next which is to learn and explain the meanings of one of the names of Allah's Beautiful names. The assigned names are listed below; please work with your children to learn the name and its meaning and try to find reference from Quran or Hadith for these names:

1. Al-Malik - Alina
2. As-Salaam - Faatima Tirmizi
3. Al-Muhaymin - Heba
4. Al-Aziz - Sarah
5. Al-Muttakabbir - Fatima Bokhari
6. Al-Khaliq - Faaris
7. Al-Baari - Zaid
8. Al-Jabbar - Maryam
9. Al-Mussawar - Naeema

Children can decide how to present the meaning of their assigned name of Allah (SWT). They can make a story out of it, write a speech, do a skit or something else. I don't have a date for their presentation yet but it will be sometime in Feb or March.

Best Regards,

Dear Parents,

Today we covered Unit B, Chapter 5 (Hud (AS)). We also reviewed how to pray 2, 3, 4 rak'ah salahs, the difference between praying fard vs sunnah and weak vs strong sunnah (i.e., who do we do differently in these prayers). 

I handed out graded Test 2 to students. This is the salah related test and scores are lower than expected (class average is 76%). We'll emphasize these subjects in the coming weeks to make sure students are comfortable with the material.

Homework for Jan 13th: Read Unit B, Chapter 5 (Hud (AS)) and do exercises 1 and 2 from the worksheet book (page 44).
