During the Covid-19 “stay at home” order, we have decided to hold our Halaqa online using Google Meet every Thursday morning in shaa Allah.
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
Sister Mai read Surah Fatihah as the other sisters read silently with her, then Sister Alia read Surah Maryam verses 12-25 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.
Quran: Tafsir
Surah Maryam verses 12-25
We have chosen to use Tafsir Ibn Kathir Volume 6
Sister Alia read parts 1 and 3
Verses 12-15
Verses 16-21
Verses 22-23
Verses 24-26
Discussion:
We decided to do more research on tafsir #3.
In last week's tafsir, there was a mention of the different pronunciation of the name Zakariya, We did some research and discovered that the name can be spelled in two different ways in Arabic and thus the different pronunciation. We continued our discussion about the different readings of the Quran, “Qiraat” and in shaa Allah, we will have a lesson on this in the future.
Quran: Tajweed
We are following a book from our library that is not copyrighted.

"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.
