We read Surah Fatihah aloud altogether, then sisters individually read aloud a few letters/words, ayahs (according to her ability and with the help and encouragement of her fellow sisters). We read Surah Yusuf from Ayah 64 to Ayah 69. 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.
Sister Cindy read an English Approximation (Sahih International) of the above verses.
We have chosen to use Tafsir Ibn Kathir.

Sister Lamiaa read:
“Ya’qub Orders His Children to enter Egypt from Different Gates”

Sister Alia shared with the sisters an additional Tafsir.
- QURAN RECITATION: TAJWEED/LEARN ARABIC
We listened to Sister Noura recite Surah Al-Ma'un
The above link has both the recitation by Sheikh Husary and the individual word pronunciation (click on each word) for learning Arabic and the link below is useful for study as well.
Sisters who practice their reading in sha Allah will have an opportunity at the next Halaqa to have a sister listen to their recitation.

Sister Dania presented our Tajweed Rule.
Alhamdulillah, Sister Noora has volunteered her time and expertise to teach sisters Arabic
and Tajweed. Please contact us to join our learning Arabic group if you would like to take
advantage of this generous offer.

- LEARN A DUA
Durning our Halaqa discussions, we covered the following two Duas.
الهم نعوذ بك أن نكون عبرة لأحدٍ من خلقك
O Allah we ask you to protect us from being an exemplary lesson (of punishment or misguidance) to any of your creations.
عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ
(يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ)
O Allah, the Turner of the hearts, keep my heart firm on your religion

For the expiation of sins, said at the conclusion of a sitting or gathering. To listen to this dua click here
196 - "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
Subhânaka l-lâhumma wa bi-hamdika. Ash-hadu an lâ ilâha illâ
anta, astaghfiruka wa atûbu ilayka.
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.
