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
*Part of ayah 114 Surah Taha(20)
Quran: Reciting
We read Surah Fatihah aloud altogether, then Sister Alia read Surah Al-Kahf verses 75-83 followed by Sister Mai, reading the English Approximation. 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: Tafsir
Surah Al-Kahf verses 75-83
We have chosen to use Tafsir Ibn Kathir Volume 6
Sister Alia read parts 3, 4 and 5
Verse 74-76
Verse 77-78
Verses 79
Verse 80-81
Was Al-Khidr a Prophet
Why he was called Al-Khidr
Verse 82
Verse 83-84
Discussion:
How interesting to learn the background of the Ayaat and how the use of grammar places emphasis on certain points.
Should we attribute Peace be Upon Him to Al-Khidr since he is considered a Prophet?
Quran: Tajweed
We are following a book from our library that is not copyrighted.

Discussion:
Allah, swt, gave us the gift of love, not just romantic love. This love can take many forms and levels. You can love different people in different ways. You can get various and different benefits from these different forms of love. Always try to show your appreciation for those in your life that you love. Whether in person or with a dua.
When we see a sister in Hijab, there is an instant bond, an instant love for my Muslim Sister.

"How perfect You are O Allah, and I praise You.
I bear witness that None has the right to be worshipped except You.
I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance."
سُبْحـانَكَ اللّهُـمَّ وَبِحَمدِك، أَشْهَـدُ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلاّ أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتوبُ إِلَـيْك

If any of this information was good and true, know that it comes from Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.
If there are mistakes we ask for Allah’s Forgiveness and Mercy.
