Halaqa # 143

Shabaan 1, 1441 AH,


Zooming Online
Year 6
                                                            
Attendance: 
8 Sisters
5 Junior Sisters                                                               
3 Junior Guests


Location: Online

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


During the Covid-19 “stay at home” order, we have decided to hold our Halaqa online using Zoom.
In sha Allah, every Thursday, we will have two adjoining sessions with a small break in
the middle.   If you would like to join, please get in touch with us. 

Session One 10:30 AM: 


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: Reciting

We read Surah Fatihah aloud altogether. Then Sister Alia read Surah Al-Israa verses 97-104, followed by Sister Rim, 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.  


Children’s Focus

Discussing Prophet Musa saws with the children. They shared their knowledge and answered
some of the following questions and then agreed to learn more after the Halaqa. 

What are some of the signs that Prophet Musa was a Prophet of Allah, swt ?



What are locusts called in Arabic?  Jarad 



Are you allowed to eat locusts?  

Hadiths two dead animals we can eat, fish and locusts.

Did Prophet Muhammad eat locusts?

No, but he did not prohibit people from eating them 

How did Prophet Muhammad describe the sound a frog makes?

In his Sunnan, al-Bayhaqi included the hadith narrated by Ibn 'Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both):
Do not kill frogs; indeed, its croaking is tasbeeh.
al-Bayhaqi said that its chain of transmission is authentic.


Any similarities between the signs of Musa and the Covid-19 virus?

They are both from Allah, swt. 

Do some research about locusts or frogs and draw a picture?

Location: Amanah Room


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

We named this Halaqa based on the fact that each sister learned something new. We shared our experiences and how we have grown from them. 


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: Reciting

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 87-96.  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 jointly took a Level 1 Tajweed Rules Quiz

This was a fun, yet academic experience that challenged our knowledge.  As a result of the quiz, we decided to go back to basics and follow a Tajweed textbook in our upcoming Halaqas in sha Allah.

Sister Megan read an English Approximation (Sahih International) of Surah Al-Israa (17)  verses 87-96.
