Location: Our Headquarters

Agenda: (please note, we have included many links where you can read in detail more on each subject)



OPENING DUA

O Allah, bless this Halaqa, allow us to gain, act upon and share beneficial knowledge. 
Guide us, forgive our sins and grant us Jannah with our families and loved ones. 
O my Lord increase me in knowledge*رَّبِّ زِدْنِى عِلْمًا   Ameen

QURAN: READING

We read Surah Fatihah aloud altogether, then sisters individually read aloud a few words, ayahs (according to her ability and with the help and encouragement of her fellow sisters). We read Surah Al-Israa verses 28-38.  In sha Allah, this will be an ongoing part of our Halaqa and one day in sha Allah, we will have Khatam Quran and begin again.

QURAN: TAJWEED

We learned about the vowel marks, in particular, the Sukun.

The sukūn ⟨سُكُون⟩ is a circle-shaped mark ـْـ placed above a letter. It indicates that the consonant to which it is attached is not followed by a vowel. The sukūn may have also an alternative form like a small comma ـۡـ

We played a few verses from  Surah Al-Israa recited by  Sheikh Husary to listen for the sukun letters.
