Suratul Fatihah Tafsir (Ibn Kathir) Based Lessons




Ok, going way back to 2007 for these. They were available on previous TJ sites, but apparently I didn't get around to uploading them here.

I would grade these at maybe upper elementary or middle school to - adult, Allahu ilm.

Oldies, but hopefully still goodies, in shaa Allah.

Suratul Qadr (097) Word for Word Study



097 Word for Word Study
There are two charts here, one with the Arabic text and English translation and one with the Arabic, English translation and English phonetic transcription for those who can't yet read Arabic.  My phonetic transcription is purely phonics based and I provided a pronunciation key for my transcription to help decode the phongrams(sounds) as it is very different from Roman transliteration.

Suratul Qadr - Student Tafseer

097 Suratul Qadr Student Tafseer

I was so happy today, my 12year old gave me the verbal thumbs up on this one. It is the tafsir for this surah (Ibn Kathir) but I enhanced it by adding pictures and editing for grammar to make it a little more palatable for young readers. In some cases I took off some of the information regarding the narrations (such as exclusion of long chains that make reading a little more difficult for my kiddies) but I did leave some in so that my kids could understand how important it is to take from authentic, well referenced sources.

Suratul Naas - Phonetic Transliteration

One of my daughters is so anxious to learn  new surahs, but she is not yet reading Arabic. I wanted her to be able to study on her own, so I made up this phonetical transliteration for her to use (along with listening to a Qaari). I have used American English phonograms to transliterate as opposed to traditional Roman transliteration which just translates the spelling of the word moreso than the sounds. 

Reading from Arabic is better, of course, but in shaa Allah when that ability is not yet there, we use transliteration.

Ayaatul Kursi "Poster" - I made this up for the kids so that they would remember to recite ayaatul kursi after each prayer, in shaa Allah. It contains the Arabic text of the ayaah, its English translation, a hadith on reciting it after each prayer and a description of what Allah's kursi is (from Muhsin Khan translation of the Quraan). In shaa Allah I will post a transliterated one as well.
