    Introduction of Surah Al-Qaria

    Surah Al-Qari’ah is the 101st chapter of the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam. It is a relatively short surah, consisting of 11 verses. The word “Al-Qari’ah” translates to “The Striking Hour” or “The Catastrophe” in English.

    The surah begins with a vivid description of the Day of Judgment, emphasizing the tremendous impact it will have on all of creation. It highlights the profound consequences and the ultimate accountability of every individual for their deeds in this world. The surah serves as a reminder of the transient nature of life and the importance of preparing for the afterlife.

    Surah Al-Qari’ah addresses the universal concept of divine justice, explaining that every person’s deeds, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem, will be weighed and evaluated on the Day of Judgment. The surah emphasizes the importance of righteous deeds and warns against the consequences of neglecting one’s spiritual responsibilities.

    It also illustrates the contrast between those whose good deeds outweigh their bad deeds, leading to success and eternal happiness, and those whose bad deeds outweigh their good deeds, resulting in a loss and eternal punishment. The surah concludes by emphasizing the perpetual existence of Paradise and Hellfire as the ultimate destinations for human souls.

    Overall, Surah Al-Qari’ah serves as a profound reminder of the Day of Judgment, the accountability of human actions, and the importance of leading a righteous life in preparation for the eternal life to come.

    Very Easy and amazing method of Tafseer for kids. This Surah is in the last juz of Quran. We teach from three books of tafseer for kids. 1. My first Quran with pictures, my first Quran storybook, and 3 Islamic education grade 3 and grade 4 by Daruslam. This is a step-by-step guide of Surah AL-Qaria with word meanings and tafsir and various activities.

    These are our online group classes for Muslim kids. All the work done in the classes of tafseer for kids has been shared in this post. let’s see step by step.

    Verse by Verse Translation

    Verse 1: “The Striking Hour has come!”

    Verse 2: “What is the Striking Hour?”

    Verse 3: “And what can make you know what the Striking Hour is?”

    Verse 4: “It is a Day when people will be like scattered moths,”

    Verse 5: “And the mountains will be like fluffed wool.”

    Verse 6: “Then as for the one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],”

    Verse 7: “He will have a pleasant life.”

    Verse 8: “But as for the one whose scales are light,”

    Verse 9: “His refuge will be an abyss.”

    Verse 10: “And what can make you know what that is?”

    Verse 11: “It is a Fire, intensely hot.”

    This verse-by-verse translation provides a basic understanding of Surah Al-Qari’ah. It is important to note that the full interpretation and deeper meanings of the surah can be further explored through studying the context, teachings, and commentary from Islamic scholars.

    Step by Step teaching method of Surah Al-Qaria

    Step 1. Recitation and Introduction of Sura Al-Qari’ah

    Al-Qari’ah is the name of the Day of Judgement. The purpose revelation of this surah is that it will be revealed to the infidels of Makkah to keep away from their stubbornness and unjustified behavior which was the biggest obstacle to their conversion to Islam. This story is a picture of the day of judgment. It tells how the action scaled would be scaled.

    Step 2. Word-to-word Translation

    quran house

    We start Surah with recitation and then we do word-to-word translation. With the picture book we explain the verses and do some activities. so We do word to word translation in 2 or 3 days. So that we can do other activities during this. Children have to start memorizing the surah and word meanings step by step.

    Step 3. Infographic and Full translation sura Qari’aa‘.

    During verse by verse translation children also do infographics. During this surah first they drew the resurrection scene in two parts. And then action scale and their reward.

    Infographic helps in memorizing translation and its also good for long term memory.

    With the help of drawings, children draw images of the Qur’an in their hands but hearts and minds. Which is the favorite activity of the children.

    Step 4. Chapter of Sura/Tafseer For kids

    Then we did a chapter of surah for detailed commentary of Surah Qari’a. We have already done some tafseer with the picture book during word-to-word translation. Now we just read and explain a bit more.

    Children were eager to know about the day of judgement when their good and bad deeds would be scaled. How big would be action book? How people would react? How body parts will speak? Where people would be gathered.

    There were a lot of questions from the children. In the chapter on surah we also get some points to make mind map.

    Step 5. Discussion/exercise

    On this day, We recite and complete memorization. Because the lesson that is memorized by repetition is imprinted in the subconscious of the children forever.

    We do revision of word-to-word translation, Tafseer and the topic of the surah again and then we do exercises related the sora Qari’a from book۔

    In storytime a story ‘Musa A.S ad burning bush was told to the children. The purpose of the selecting this story was to strength their faith on the day of judgment. Children would learn that standing in front of Allah is not unbelievable.

    Even in this world, Prophet happened to talk with Allah. So we will also stand in front of Allah with our actions. Another story ‘Prophet Uzayr’s donkey was Also told. This story was related with the belief that how we will be alive again after death.

    Step 7. Activities we did in the class

    During the all lessons of the Surah we did some activities. Like….

    Activity 1. Paper activity to explain verse no 4. Small pieces of paper were placed on their palms. Then they blow those pieces. What happens? All the pieces were scattered here and there.

    The purpose of this activity was to tell the children that on the Day of Resurrection, people will scattered like those papers.

    Activity 2. This activity was making a craft or drawing to show the lightness of heavy, high mountains. The mountains would fly like fluffed cotton. So we used cotton to show how mountains would look like that day.

    Activity 3. Actions scale was prepared. And children had to add their good and bad deeds for a week. And end the of the week they got their action scale. Now they were able to judge which scale is heavy

    Step 8. Mind map of the Sorah Qari’a۔

    So we do mind map after completing the Surah. We collect our information and points from the Surah to make mind map. We also do use mind maps from LiveIslam.org here are some points from the mind map. Theme of this sorah is the preparation of the Day of Judgement. This surah consists of eleven verses.

    Surah Al-Qari’ah is a Makki Surah that was revealed before the Hijrah .(The children were made to understand that there is a difference between Maki and Madani Qur’an So our leading scholars say that the Makki Qur’an is that which was revealed before the migration and madni Quran after the migration. )

    Many thanks to God who helped me as a teacher to teach children the sura of the Qur’an. Thank God that the children also learned from the Qur’an and participated in all the activities.s I pray that the Qur’an becomes a part of the character of these children. Amen

  • Tips and ideas on how to mould Children’s behaviours? Gifts and rewards to Make children stable in good deeds.

    One question is asked by one of my readers. She is anxious to know which Rewards we could give on their good behavers so that they would be stable.
    First thing we should all realise that, kids are complete personality. We cant make them more intelligent, mannered and good as much as Allah made them. Second some moments in the life of all humans are tough so when you feel help less turn to Allah and ask His help.

    Rewards could be given for two reasons. To develop good behaviours and to celebrate their success. Let’s see them separately.English Reward Sticker Pack 2 (Contains 236 Fun Stickers)

    1.Manners/behaviour

    Manners and behaviours don’t develop in a few days. It takes years to become a habit. From the womb of the mother to Social interaction, kids may act in different ways and react accordingly. We categorize them in two types of behaviours. In the first category, we may include minor actions that kids adopt for some days and then forget. Scolding someone, laughing/crying without a reason, repeating some words or spitting everywhere, etc. We should not take them seriously. We should ignore these things as much we could do. Some times we may point out to them that this is a bad word or behaviour. Some other behaviours turn into a permanent habit. At this point, we should play our role. Some common habits in kids are 

     

    • Shouting
    • Lying
    • Fighting
    • Talking back
    • Breaking the rules
    • Aggression
    • Stealing things
    • Scolding 
    • Inferiority/priority complex
    • Stubbornness

    Now how to control these habits?

    First of all these habits comes into kids from people around him and the environment. As soon as you would see your child has started to adopt any unacceptable behaviour. Try to find the root. If someone in the family has an influence on him. Try to take him/her separate from that person. If you have some rules and you don’t want to break them then you must stay stable. Never let them break the rules. Some time punishment and breakouts work more than words. And if this is not possible, then the second remedy always works. Don’t give him advise every time everywhere. Some times kids do repeat things in just stubbornness at that time keep calm and try to ignore them. Let him free for a while and then choose a calm and lonely time. If the child is under 6 then it is easy to discuss before to sleep. And if he/she is up then Waite for the right time. Then praise him/her for his good things. make an emotional bonding with the child and tell him/her you love them. And finally, tell them that you do not expect from them such bad behaviours. They will understand and try to control their behaviours. If they would promise you to do some activities to overcome bad habits… 

    Hugging, Kissing, Talking. 

     This is the strongest policy And this is just for parents. Like adults, kids need more appreciations, praise love. Don’t ignore their needs. Hug them make them realize you love them. Buy a sticker book. And give them love stickers at their faces, in their lunch boxes, their clothes, their books, and everywhere.

    Good deeds tree. 

    Make a good deed tree. Shown in the picture. If they beat someone or do any wrong thing. Tell them this was from shaytan. Come close to them and ask them to say sorry and recite Astagfirullah. When they do this give them a stick of fruit or star. You can draw fruit on trees from them instead of stickers.

     

    Some emotions and habits would be genetic. They are hard to change. But a little hard work could mould them. So play some games. Cards and other such games could help them.

    Good behaviour Chart.

     
     Make a chart and Write all good behaviours your kids have and some you want to see into them Then before to sleep mark them if they were fulfilled. And if they were unable in behave well. Motivate them to complete that next day.

    The 3 Minute Gratitude Journal for Kids: A Journal to Teach Children to Practice Gratitude and Mindfulness
    Journal is very good for personality development. They do catharsis. my kids use their diaries and journals, even during their educational trips. Some times I ask them to write some words about what they like, what they do not like, what they want to do, and what if they would be in any other place or home? Hahaha. Yes even sometimes I ask them which women you like and imagine would be your mother.
     

    Storytelling. 😍

    Seerah and moral stories are kids’ favourite. It is a big source of giving education as well as converting a good message when any kid would behave badly. Like sometimes my kids do not answer me then I would tell them the story of Prophet SAW that he said. If my mom would be alive and calls me during my Isha Prayer. I will stop prayer and rely on them YES. It is a big deal for kids. Urdu stories For Urdu kids are at ‘Islam for kids’

    Responsibility with rewards.😍😌

     


     Give them some responsibility. Like the elder would handle small siblings, ask them to cut some fruits, help in house chores. Then give them some reward for helping you.

    Celebrate their success.

    Gifts, outing, a light treat, Appreciate cards, even when parents wear new clothes and tell kids, today we are celebrating your special achievement. This would do work like a motivational energizer.
     
     
     

    2.Ibada/manners and learning tasks.

    Supplications Remembering: 

     If kids learn dua/supplications well but do not apply or they would forget to read them then the better way is that, Make a lap book or some dua wall hangers with beautiful drawing. This work would be a kid’s activity base.

     

    Try to Teach manners and positive effects of that supplication on daily life as well as the reward of remembering that supplication from Allah. Kids will write, learn and remember these things forever. They will feel the happiness of having their own lap book. And wall hanger will decorate their walls as well as remind them to say before doing an action. Like I made two wall hanger for the supplication of using the washroom. Then explained what to do and what to not do inside toiles. I Hanged them outside the door and kids were reciting Regularly before and after using toilets. They remembered supplication well as well as thins wall hanger developed a habit to not forget reciting this supplication. We can do the same for the supplications of eating, drinking sleeping, etc.

    Offering prayers. 

    If you want your kid will offer prayer on time and don’t miss it. Then prayer schedules and checklist would help them. No one tried this as a monthly based checklist. He tried this in month f, Ramadan. He is punctual in prayers so we designed one box for every day, 1 big sticker was used for fast and five small for five prayers. The second one has his own checklist. He made This checklist on a graph paper. 5 boxes were for five prayers, 1 for reciting Quran and 1 for memorizing Quran. He would tick the offered prayers, tick and yellow mark for late offered and a blank box for missing. And then tick for the Quran.😊

     

    Quran. 

     

     The first one is Doing Hifz. From the first month when there was his first Test I treat him with a 1 dish party as well as a gift of his choice. And then I did it for three months, later after his half Juzz. and when he completed his first para. I celebrated it with full passion. It was more charming than a birthday party. Here is a picture of food I mostly prepare to treat at home.
    A healthy activity to complete Tasks of moulding good behaviours or is that of a garden. We named it gratefulness garden. It was a family activity to think of any bless of Allah and say Alhamdolilah for that and plant a Flower. It is made of crafts papers and plays dough. We designed a garden in which we plant a flower daily made of playdough… In one month we would be able to count 30 Blessings of Allah. I know at some points children would get confused about what to count now. But we have so much to say thank you to Allah so remind them of some blessing. The same activities could be done for doing good deeds, say sorry, hugging siblings, Sharing things with other, daily charity, etc. I hope kids will enjoy more when they see the garden full of flowers.
