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.
