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, each Sister recited a few lines from Surah Taa-Haa verse 13-37, 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.

Discussion: How the Glorious Quran covers every societal situation. In this case, “disabilities”. Sister Ibadah shared with us the background of Prophet Musa and his speech impediment.
Quran: Tajweed
We are following a book from our library that is not copyrighted.
Tajweed for Beginners Prepared by Qari Ismail Essack
We now have a Tajweed Channel and Group on Telegram, where Sisters can catch up on missed lessons and participate in group discussions. Email us if you would like to join.
Sister Shimaa is taking a break for the month of November so we will be having periodic tajweed reviews on the Telegram Channel.
In our Halaqa’s, we will shift focus to “Learning Arabic”. We used a set of flashcards and some writing boards and played a game of Pictionary to help our new members learn some Arabic letters.
We encourage each sister to start learning Arabic using the following app to help her learn the basics. Alif Central - Learn to Read the Quran
