Welcome Back!

Sorry for not posting anything in a while : busy with the last few days of Ramadan and followed by Eid celebration.  We did a theme on Ramadan for the month of June until we closed for the Eid holidays.

School has just started for us and there are many exciting things coming up.  

What To Do On 'Eid?

Reference from Qabeelat Ihsaan with Abduljabbar Bin Yusuf   https://www.facebook.com/qabeelatihsaan

As 'Eid is just around the corner, here is a quick overview for you of what to do on the blessed day:

1. Taking a bath (Ghusl). [Abdurrazzaq, 5754]

2. Wearing one’s best clothes, and for the men perfuming themselves. [Bukhari (886), Muslim (2066)]

3. Have an odd number of dates before leaving for 'Eid prayer. If one does not have dates, any food will do. [Bukhari, 953]

4. Going to the 'Eid prayer. [Bukhari (913), Muslim (889)]

5. Even if the woman is not praying she is encouraged to come and attend. [Bukhari (971), Muslim (890)]

6. Saying Takbir from the morning till the Imam starts the 'Eid prayer. [Ibn Abi Syaibah, 5621]

7. Greet one another with good greetings. [Al-Fath, 2/446]

8. Take different path home than the one that you took to come to the prayer area. [Bukhari, 986]

You might already know this stuff, but it's something really beneficial to share with family members, extended family, and friends.

ILM CAMP

The program was for Junior 2 only, on Saturday 4th July 2015.  This is the first time we held this program for the 5 years old.   The objectives were to learn the basics of Islam in a FUN & CREATIVE way,  to generate more 'amalan' and good deeds in this Ramadhan.

Started with the performing of Solat Dhuha

 The children learned about the 5 Pillars of Islam and made a big book project.  The children were divided into groups of 5  and assisted by one teacher.  Illustrations and writings were  all done by the children.                    

 

 

 

 At the same time, the children baked cookies to bring home for Iftar.

We brought the children to our nearby masjid, Masjid Daul Ehsan for the children to learn the parts of the masjid, things found in the masjid, adab of entering the masjid;  and lastly to perform solat zuhr together with other jemaah.

The mihrab.

Boys ~ with the goodies at the end of the program.

Teachers putting things away for the next program, Insya Allah.
