Islamic Integration
Ibrahim Ibn al-Junayd said, “A wise man said to his son,
'Learn the art of listening as you learn the art of
speaking. '” Listening well means maintaining eye
contact, allowing the speaker to finish the speech and
restraining your urge to interrupt his speech.

Form the Past Tense
Learners should be familiar with adding the suffix -ed to
regular verbs. Revise this structure and reinforce the use
of past tense in narrative. Three spelling rules for past
tense are revised write a few more examples on the
board and let the learners copy them in their notebooks.
Let the learners match each present tense to its irregular
past tense partner.
Allah talks about the order of day and night in the
Quran.The heavens and the earth are all His creation
and He alone have the power to bring about night after
day. Allah says in the Quran: “He wraps the night over
the day and wraps the day over the night.” (Surah Az-
Zumar, verse 5). Have you ever in your whole life woken
up from sleep and realized it’s not day time? Have you
ever had a long day at work and see that night has not
come even after hours? Certainly not. Because the
power and control of all of that is in Allah’s hand, a
power of which He keeps reminding us again and again.
