Tips:

 

You can follow the lesson outline in order or mix and match to suit your needs. You might allot one or two sections per day, depending on your schedule and level of the student. I think lder students should be encouraged to do many activities on their own, but teacher should take care to listen to recitations and help as needed. I like my children to learn to be independent but I also like spending time with them doing the lessons and making sure they understand the material.

 

 

Arabic text and translation adapted from "Interpretation of the Meaning of The Noble Qur.aan in the English Language" in HTML HELP from Fatwa-Online.com 

1. For the protection of the Quraish,

 2.  (And with all those Allâh's grace and protections, We cause) the (Quraish) caravans to set forth safe in winter (to the south) and in summer (to the north without any fear), 

3.So let them worship (Allâh) the Lord of this House (the Ka'bah in Makkah),

 4.  (He) Who has fed them against hunger, and has made them safe from fear.

 

I. Introducing the Surah

 

Using the Tafsir opening for this surah, fill out the Introductory Information Chart (also available in Study Guide Template Pack)

 

 

 

II. Learning About This Surah

 

1. Reading

Read the Surah in Arabic and English as in the beginning of the Tafsir. Teacher can read to student, but older students should read it themselves (preferable in presence of teacher).

Read the complete tafsir for this surah (pp.599-601). Teacher can also break the reading down into smaller parts, if desired.

 

Optional: As student reads the tafsir, have him turn statements into study questions and write them down. There is a form in the Study Guide Templates Pack where student can record these questions.

 

NOTE: During the duration of this lesson, it is a good idea to have student read and recite the surah daily while the teacher listens.

 

 

 

2. Vocabulary

 

A. Review

There are many basic words that appear over and over in the Quraan.  Quiz student regularly on this basic vocabulary.  You might dictate the English of these words to student for him to write in Arabic.  Keep a list of missed words (student does not know definition or spelling).

 

rabb, haadha, bayt, iladhi, min

 

B. In this Surah

Teach vocabulary depending on the student's level.

 

For more advanced students, use the Ayaat breakdown form in the Study Guide Pack to write each Arabic word and its corresponding English translation. In most cases, teacher should complete this activity with the student.

 

For students less advanced in Arabic, pick out key vocabulary (especially nouns) and assign activities to help them learn the words. Here are some vocabulary words to use or get you started.. If you feel student can handle more, select more words from the surah.

 

Students should know the following Arabic terms at the minimum:

 

ju'an (hunger), iylaaf, khawf (fear), rihlah (travel, trip), seyf (summer), shita (winter)

 

Activities to practice the vocabulary:

• Write each new word (x number of times)

• Write review words (x number of times)

• Take dictation on vocabulary words

• Write the current ayaat or surah

• Alphabetize Arabic/English vocabulary

• Match English to Arabic words

• Given the English word, write the Arabic word

• Given a clue, write the correct Arabic word

• Unscramble a word or ayaat

• Supply the missing letters in words or missing word in ayaat

• Make flashcards to review vocabulary and concepts

 

 

Also see TJ's Spelling Page for more spelling activities

 

 

3. Grammar

Here are some topics you might use  for grammar lessons:

 

• Conjugation of verbs presented in the ayaat

• "Prepositions" (li, min) and how they affect the words after them ('irab; makes them majrur)

These are just some suggestions. If student has an Arabic class, try to match the concepts that they are  learning/have learned with those found in the surah.

 

 

4. Memorization

If student has not memorized this surah already, set up a memorization schedule with the schedule form in the Study Guide Pack.  Work together to establish a realistic goal. 

 

Schedule daily memorization sessions, after salaat are often good times.

 

Have student use something such as TJ's Hifz Helpers to help them keep track of their repetitions during the sessions. With younger students you might also count off the repetitions with your hands (counting up or down)

 

Hifz Helper-Counter Mat

(food theme)

 

 

Hifz Helper-Counter Mat

(vehicle theme)

 

 

5. Putting It Together

 

After completing the reading, assign these activities to help student check and apply what they have learned, insha Allah.

 

 

Recall:

 

Answering the following questions:

 

1. Who are the Quraysh?

 

2.What surah is this surah related to and how?

 

3. Where did the Quraysh journey to during the winter? the summer? Describe these places in terms of location in relation to Makkah (i.e. give the direction).

 

4. Obtain a map of the Arabian peninsula.  Draw an approximate trade route that the Quraysh used. Mark the summer route red and the winter route, blue.

 

5. Why were the Quraysh able to travel in their caravans in safety?

 

6.  What is the purpose of "li" prefixed to "ilaaf?"

 

7. How were the Quraysh supposed to show their gratitude to Allah for keeping them safe?  (What did Allah command them to do?)

 

8. If you obey Allah, he will give you ________________ in both this life and the next. If you do not obey him he will do what?

 

9. What beyt is referred to in this surah?

 

Think About It!

 

Think about a time you have felt fear or unsafe.  What were you doing?  Do you think you did anything that was disobedient to Allah around that time that may have been the cause?  Think of a time when you felt safe. Do you think that you felt this way because you were obedient to Allah?

 

Explore!

 

Two seasons are mentioned in this surah. What are the Arabic names for the other two seasons?

What season (in Arabic) are we in now?

 

Research to learn about caravans.  What types of items were carried through caravans at the time of the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam)?  Write a small paragraph about caravans.

 

Imagine that you are a merchant from the time of the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam).  Based upon your research, what type of items would you sell?  What places would you try or not try to trade with? Why?
