Tips:

You can follow the lesson outline in order or mix and match to suit your needs. You might allot one or two sections per day, depending on your schedule and level of the student. I think lder students should be encouraged to do many activities on their own, but teacher should take care to listen to recitations and help as needed. I like my children to learn to be independent but I also like spending time with them doing the lessons and making sure they understand the material.

Suratul Qariah

Arabic text and translation adapted from "Interpretation of the Meaning of The Noble Qur.aan in the English Language" in HTML HELP from Fatwa-Online.com

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

1. Al-Qâri'ah (the striking Hour, i.e. the Day of Resurrection).

2. What is the striking (Hour)?

3. And what will make you know what the striking (Hour) is?

4. It is a Day whereon mankind will be like moths scattered about.

5. And the mountains will be like carded wool.

6. Then as for him whose Balance (of good deeds) will be heavy,

7. He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise).

8. But as for him whose Balance (of good deeds) will be light,

9. He will have his home in Hâwiyah (pit, i.e. Hell).

10. And what will make you know what it is?

11. (It is) a fiercely blazing Fire!

II. Learning About This Surah

1. Reading

Read the Surah in Arabic and English as in the beginning of the Tafsir. Teacher can read to student, but older students should read it themselves (preferable in presence of teacher).

Read the complete tafsir for this surah (pp.570-574). Teacher can also break the reading down into smaller parts, if desired.

Optional: As student reads the tafsir, have him turn statements into study questions and write them down. There is a form in the Study Guide Templates Pack where student can record these questions.

NOTE: During the duration of this lesson, it is a good idea to have student read and recite the surah daily while the teacher listens.

2. Vocabulary

A. Review

There are many basic words that appear over and over in the Quraan. Quiz student regularly on this basic vocabulary. You might dictate the English of these words to student for him to write in Arabic. Keep a list of missed words (student does not know definition or spelling).

man, maa, naas, yawm, huwa, fee, naar

B. In this Surah

Teach vocabulary depending on the student's level.

For more advanced students, use the Ayaat breakdown form in the Study Guide Pack to write each Arabic word and its corresponding English translation. In most cases, teacher should complete this activity with the student.

For students less advanced in Arabic, pick out key vocabulary (especially nouns) and assign activities to help them learn the words. Here are some vocabulary words to use or get you started.. If you feel student can handle more, select more words from the surah.

Students should know the following Arabic terms at the minimum:

jibaal and its singular, moths and its singular, balance, pleasant life

Activities to practice the vocabulary:

Write each new word (x number of times)
Write review words (x number of times)
Take dictation on vocabulary words
Write the current ayaat or surah
Alphabetize Arabic/English vocabulary
Match English to Arabic words
Given the English word, write the Arabic word
Given a clue, write the correct Arabic word
Unscramble a word or ayaat
Supply the missing letters in words or missing word in ayaat
Make flashcards to review vocabulary and concepts

Also see TJ's Spelling Page for more spelling activities

3. Grammar

Here are some topics you might use for grammar lessons:

Conjugation of verbs presented in the ayaat (e.g. kaana, thqla, wazina)
Kaa (like, ass) prefixed to words

These are just some suggestions. If student has an Arabic class, try to match the concepts that they are learning/have learned with those found in the surah.

4. Memorization

If student has not memorized this surah already, set up a memorization schedule with the schedule form in the Study Guide Pack. Work together to establish a realistic goal.

Schedule daily memorization sessions, after salaat are often good times.

Have student use something such as TJ's Hifz Helpers to help them keep track of their repetitions during the sessions. With younger students you might also count off the repetitions with your hands (counting up or down)

Hifz Helper-Counter Mat

(food theme)

Hifz Helper-Counter Mat

(vehicle theme)

5. Putting It Together

After completing the reading, assign these activities to help student check and apply what they have learned, insha Allah.

Recall:

Answer the following questions:

1.What is Al Qariah? Give examples of other names for this.

2. How will man be like scattered moths on this day?

3. What will happen to the mountains?

4. What does it mean if your balance is heavy? What will you receive?

5. What does it mean is your balance is light? What will you receive?

6. What is meant by "his mother" will be in Hawiyah?

7. How does the fire in this world compare to the Hellfire?

8. The most severe cold of the winter and the most severe heat of the summer come from what?

Think About It!

If you had to rate what you think your balance is like, would you say it is heavy or light? List some things you can do to "weigh it down, " insha Allah.

Explore!

Research one or more of the following topics and write a paragraph on it.

Mountains
Uses of wool/how we get it
Moths
Balance/scales
Fire (if not done in a previous lesson)
