Sharing Eid 2016 with the homeless 

UPDATE: 

Only 74 more cards to go out of 180! Please consider donating if you haven’t already done so. It would mean a lot to the guests of Children of Adam who would appreciate this gesture from people. Plus, its a sweet way of giving them a helping hand without making them feel bad about themselves. Lets spoil them together 🙂 donation link is in the comments section…

The giving of Eidiyyeh/Eidi/Eid money to children (and sometimes to grown ups too!) by adults is a beautiful age old tradition in Muslim communities.
This Eid, I would like to share this tradition with the 180 guests of Children of Adam, a charity which works with the homeless.
I am looking to hand out a gift card worth £10 to each guest giving them the freedom to shop for what they need. The gift cards will be of major stores such as Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys.
How you can help?

1. Donate £10 towards a gift card (as many as you like) by clicking on the following link:

You will recieve a reciept too! 🙂

2. I will purchase a gift card, put it into a pouch with an Eid message and perfume the bag.
Aisha (rad) would perfume the Sadaqa she would hand out to the needy. She explained that she wanted the charity to reach in a fragrant condition to Allah before it reached the hands of the person in need. In her beautiful way, I will be doing the same thing insha Allah 🙂
I will be handing out the gift cards on the first Sunday after Eid iA.
How often are the homeless gifted with something? This is your chance to share the spirit of Eid with them and include them in this tradition of ours.

Please help me reach my target of 180 gift cards!
Donate now 🙂

Jzk!

Arabic Prepositions – Hands on Activity

Download the Prepositions Match-up Game Pdf HERE Bismillah,

My students have been utilising hands on activities to revise for their end of year exams. I have allocated 30 minutes independent study time within each lesson for the last two weeks.

The girls get the chance to develop their revision skills and to help each other to achieve high grades. I explained to the girls that your friend doing well on the exams means she now understands the Qur’an a little better in the language Allah revealed it in and you helped her achieve this.

The following activity was created to help them revise the Arabic prepositions.

Qur’anic Arabic Vocabulary

Bismillah,

Up for a challenge? Use the following worksheet will help you learn at least 20 keywords that regularly occur through out the Qur’an.

I will be using this worksheet with my Year 10s to help them revise the 20 words. I’ve uploaded the keywords and example ayaahs here for those of you who are learning them for the first time.

With Ramadan coming up – it will be useful to learn keywords to understand the Qur’an in Arabic as you recite it during the day, in prayers, in Taraweeh and when the Imam recites ayaat containing these keywords.

The Giggly Guide to Arabic Grammar

Bismillah,

A project that I gave to my students to complete during their half term break was to create a book titled “The Giggly Guide to Arabic Grammar”. Inshallah, one day, I hope to author this book myself but I wanted to see what my lovely year 8s would come up with.

This turned out to be a good way of encouraging the girls to review the grammar topics they had learnt over their break. By working on presenting the grammar rules in a creative and light hearted way, the girls have both realised which grammar rules they can explain to others (because they have understood it themselves) and that Arabic can be fun to learn.

Here are pics of some good project work from my class:

This makes a nice class project should you wish to try it out. Please send pictures so I can publish the good work on this blog.

Arabic Verbs in the past tense

Bismillah,

My year 8s, 9s and 10s are learning 20 verbs that are oft-mentioned in the Qur’an, a useful list which I can work from to help teach concepts such as conjugations in the different tenses, nouns, and keywords in the Qur’an by extension.

E.g. By learning the verb “s-j-d” سَجَدَ  I can help students with past/present tense conjugation for the different subject pronouns and help them identify nouns that are created out of this verb e.g. “masjid”. So the verb roots are really the key to making students feel confident in exploring the Qur’an.

Here is a worksheet I will be using in this week’s lesson to review

  • Past Tense conjugation
  • 20 verbs + English meaning
  • Subject pronouns
