What are the other four pillars of Islam?NOTES TO USTAAD This book comes with six sets of flash words and some suggestions for the teaching of the first lesson. Period 1: Before beginning the lesson revise the previous years work by asking children questions like: What are the names of the revealed books? What are the difterent (attributes) names of Allah etc. Put up the flash cards with words like sun, moon, earth, creation and see if the children can read them. Ask them to make sentences with sun - creation - Allah - moon - earth. Now introduce the word ‘provide’ and try to get the children to explain the meaning of the word. They may say that “daddy provides us with food” etc. Explain to them that he is only the means and that Allah Ta’ala alone is our Provider and will always provide for us. Give examples to illustrate this point. 18Period 2: Revise the work of the previous period. Put up the words ‘harm’ and ‘protects’. Explain the difference of these words to them by giving examples of how Allah Ta’ala protects us and once under Allah Ta’ala’s protection no one can harm us. Now follow this with the words hear, knows and sees, linking this to point 5. Explain point number 6. Make sure that the children fully understand the word “unlike” correctly. Period 3: Revision of the previous work done. Even though Allah Ta’ala is unlike anything we know or think, we know Allah Ta’ala through everything He has made including us i.e. His creation. Ask them to recall some of the names that they have learnt of Allah Ta’ala previously. Besides these there are many others. We have the ninety nine names which are called Allah Ta’ala’s beautiful names. Enhance the lesson further by bringing along a tape recorder and cassette and play an authentic reading of the ninety nine names of Allah Ta’ala revise the whole lesson.
