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.

 

 

 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] Have you seen him who denies the Recompense?

 

[2] That is he who repulses the orphan

 

[3] And urges not on the feeding of Al-Miskîn (the needy),

 

[4] So, woe to those performers of Salât (prayers) (hypocrites),

 

[5] Those who delay their Salât (prayer from their stated fixed times).

 

[6] Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men),

 

[7] And withhold Al-Mâ'ûn

 

I. Introducing the Surah

 

Using the Tafsir opening for this surah, fill out the Introductory Information Chart (also available in Study Guide Template Pack)

 

 

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. 602-605). 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.

 

For younger children, read: Surah Al Maun PowerPoint Book by TJ

 

2. Vocabulary

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 Arabic terms for the following at the minimum:

 

orphan, the poor, feeding, hereafter, to deny

 

 

 

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:

 

• The particle alif to ask a question

• Conjugation of verbs presented in the ayaat

• "Prepositions" ('an, 'alaa, li, bi) and how they affect the words after them ('irab; makes them majrur)

• Plurals/singulars: musaleen, maa'un, iladhi/iladheena, etc.

 

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.

Answering the following questions:

 

1. What does "ad-deen" mean in this surah?

 

2. Give examples of how people repulse organs.

 

3. Who is the poor man(What are his characteristics)

7. According to the tafsir, what does it mean to withhold Maun?

8. Give some examples of “Maun.”

 

Extensions

1. Based upon your answer to number 4 above, make a poster (by hand or on  computer) to remind you of the things you should not do/do when it comes to prayer. Hang it near where you pray as a reminder.

 

2. List some things that you might give to a neighbor or person that would be “al maun.”  Have you given al maun today? recently?  Do you withhold maun?

 

3. What is the name of a facility for orphans called in English and Arabic?

Are there any in your area?  Look in a phone directory for some listings for them.

4. Are there any facilities in your area that feed the miskeen? Find out if you do not know. What types of services do they offer? Can you volunteer to help out at one?

 

5. Read a book, article, or interview about orphans and the poor (children or adults) and discuss and complete a creative project.
