    Story and Explanation of Surah Al-Balad

    Hey kids! Today, we will learn about a very special chapter from the Quran called Surah Al-Balad. It’s a story full of lessons that will help us understand life better and how we should live it.

    1. The Sacred City of Makkah (Verses 1-2)

    The surah starts with Allah swearing by a special city, Makkah. This city is where the Kaaba is located, which Muslims face when they pray. Makkah is also the place where our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born. By swearing by Makkah, Allah is showing us how important this city is.

    But that’s not all! Allah also mentions that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is living in this city, and this makes the city even more special. Allah is reminding us of the great honour and responsibility that comes with living in such a blessed place.

    2. The Father and His Child (Verse 3)

    Then, Allah swears by the father and his child. This is to remind us of the strong bond between parents and their children. Parents work hard and make many sacrifices for their children, just like how Allah created us and takes care of us with so much love and mercy.

    3. Life is Full of Challenges (Verse 4)

    Allah tells us that life is full of challenges and difficulties. Every person goes through tough times, whether it’s in school, at home, or with friends. But these challenges are a part of life. They help us grow stronger, just like how exercise makes our muscles stronger.

    4. The Arrogance of Some People (Verses 5-7)

    Some people, when they become rich or powerful, start to think that no one can control them. They might say, “I’ve spent so much money” as if they can do anything they want. But Allah reminds us that He sees everything. No matter how rich or powerful someone is, they can never escape Allah’s watchful eye.

    5. The Gifts from Allah (Verses 8-9)

    Allah reminds us of the gifts He has given us, like our eyes, tongue, and lips. These gifts help us see, speak, and communicate. But with these gifts comes responsibility. We should use our eyes to see good things, our tongues to speak kind words, and our lips to spread smiles and happiness.

    6. The Two Paths (Verse 10)

    Allah has shown us two paths in life: one path leads to goodness and the other to badness. It’s like standing at a crossroads with a choice to make. The good path might be harder, but it leads to Allah’s pleasure and paradise. The bad path might seem easy, but it leads to trouble and sorrow.

    7. The Difficult Pass (Verses 11-12)

    Allah talks about a “difficult pass” – imagine a steep mountain that’s hard to climb. This represents the challenges we face when trying to do good deeds. Climbing this mountain might be tough, but the reward at the top is worth it!

    8. What is the Difficult Pass? (Verses 13-16)

    So, what is this difficult pass? Allah explains that it involves doing good deeds, like:

    • Freeing a slave: In the old days, many people were enslaved, and freeing them was one of the greatest acts of kindness.
    • Feeding the hungry: Imagine how good it feels to give food to someone who is starving.
    • Helping an orphan: An orphan is someone who has lost their parents. Helping them is a big act of kindness.
    • Supporting someone in need: Many people are struggling and need our help.

    These are the good deeds that help us climb the difficult pass in life.

    9. The Right-Handed and Left-Handed People (Verses 17-20)

    Finally, Allah talks about two groups of people:

    The Right-Handed People (Companions of the Right):
    These are the people who do good deeds, believe in Allah, and help others. They advise each other to be patient and kind. On the Day of Judgment, they will receive their book of deeds in their right hand as a sign of success. These people will go to paradise, a place of happiness and peace.

    The Left-Handed People (Companions of the Left):
    These are the people who ignore Allah’s guidance and do bad deeds. They don’t care about others and live only for themselves. On the Day of Judgment, they will receive their book of deeds in their left hand, which is a sign of failure. These people will face severe punishment in the hereafter.

    Conclusion

    Surah Al-Balad teaches us that life is full of challenges, but by choosing the right path and doing good deeds, we can succeed in this life and the next. Allah has given us all the tools we need, like our eyes, tongue, and mind, to make the right choices. We should always try to be among the “right-handed” people who will find success and happiness with Allah.

    So remember, the next time you face a challenge, think of it as a mountain you need to climb. It might be tough, but with patience, kindness, and faith, you can reach the top!

    Let’s start Surah Al-Humazah Step-by-step study

    1.Intorduction

    Surah Al-Humazah was revealed in Makkah during the early period of Prophet Muhammad’s mission. Its revelation came as a response to the widespread mockery, slander, and arrogance prevalent among the Quraysh, particularly towards the Prophet and his followers.

    According to Tafsir and Seerah books, some of the prominent figures in Makkah who were known for their mockery and slander against the Prophet and the early Muslims included:

    1. Abu Lahab: He was the uncle of Prophet Muhammad and one of his staunchest opponents. Abu Lahab and his wife Umm Jamil were notorious for their hostility towards Islam and their relentless persecution of the Prophet and his followers.
    2. Abu Jahl (Amr ibn Hisham): He was one of the leaders of the Quraysh and a fierce enemy of Islam. Abu Jahl was known for his arrogance, hostility, and relentless opposition to the Prophet and his message.
    3. Muhammad ibn Ishaaq said: We continue to hear that this surah was revealed about Umayyah ibn Khalaf: He was a wealthy and influential figure in Makkah who openly opposed Islam and mistreated the early Muslims. Umayyah was known for his cruelty and disdain towards the Prophet and his followers.
    4. ‘Ata and Al-Kalbi said: This surah was revealed about Al-Akhnas ibn Shariq, who used to criticize people and gossip about them, especially the Messenger of Allah.
    5. Muqatil said: This surah was revealed about Al-Walid ibn Al-Mughira, who used to gossip about the Messenger of Allah in his absence and mock him to his face.
    6. Ibn Ashour said: This surah encompasses all polytheists who engaged in this act, whether their names are known or not.”

    These individuals, along with others from the Quraysh tribe, actively engaged in mocking, ridiculing, and slandering the Prophet and his followers, seeking to discredit Islam and undermine its message. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) continued his mission undeterred, guided by the light of truth and compassion, while those who had opposed him were left to face the consequences of their deeds in the Hereafter Surah Al-Humazah was revealed to condemn their behavior and warn them of the consequences of their actions in the Hereafter.

    3. Easy Tafsir of surah humazah

    You’re correct, the Bismillah is not included in Surah Al-Humazah (Chapter 104) of the Quran. Here’s a detailed Tafsir of Surah Al-Humazah according to Ibn Kathir’s interpretation:

    Verse 1: The word “Woe” is a severe warning from Allah to those who habitually engage in backbiting and slander. They are constantly looking for faults in others to mock and ridicule them.

    “Woe” is a warning of punishment for those who habitually ridicule and mock others. This indicates that mocking and making fun of people is a serious offense in the sight of Allah. Imagine if you worked hard on a drawing and someone laughed at it. That’s not nice, right?

    Verse 2: Allah describes the habit of such people, who amass wealth through any means possible and constantly count and hoard it as if their entire existence revolves around their wealth.

    Verse 3: These individuals have the false belief that their wealth will grant them eternal life and happiness as if they will never face any consequences for their actions.

    This verse talks about people who love to collect money and keep counting it all the time, thinking it’s the most important thing. It’s like someone who collects a lot of toys but never shares them with their friends.

    Verse 4: Allah refutes this false belief with a resolute “No!” They will not live forever in luxury; rather, they will be cast into the Crusher, a place of severe punishment in the Hereafter.

    Such a person believes that their wealth will make them immortal, showing their arrogance and false sense of security in their riches. But that’s not true because life is about more than just money. Even if you have lots of toys, you still need friends to play with.

    Verse 5: The severity of this punishment is emphasized, prompting reflection on its terrifying nature.

    This false belief is shattered by the reality of death and the Hereafter. They will be thrown into a crushing punishment Keep in mind, punishment is not just because of a lot of money or more toys. But it’s because of your arrogant behavior and showing off and denying to share it with others. It’s like when you build a sandcastle at the beach and then a big wave comes and washes it away.

    Just suppose you have a variety of dishes to eat. And someone in your neighbor is very hungry. The aroma of food is spread. But instead of sharing food, you are being rude to him. How would you feel if it happened to you?

    Verse 6: The Crusher is described as a fire kindled by Allah Himself, symbolizing the intense and unrelenting nature of the punishment awaiting the wrongdoers.

    Verse 7: This fire will leap onto the hearts of the offenders, causing them unbearable agony and distress.

    This fire burns so hot that it reaches right into people’s hearts, causing them pain and sadness. As they cause pain and sadness in the worldly life.

    Verse 8: They will be trapped in this torment, unable to escape or find any relief from its heat and pain.

    Verse 9: They will be confined in long columns in Hell, indicating the severity and permanence of their punishment, with no hope of reprieve.

    Once they’re in this place, there’s no escaping it. It’s like being stuck in a room with no doors or windows. They will be stuck there in long lines, waiting and unable to leave. It’s like waiting in line for a ride at an amusement park, but this ride never ends, and it’s not fun at all.

    In summary, Surah Al-Humazah serves as a stern warning against the sins of backbiting, slander, and arrogance, highlighting the severe consequences they entail in the Hereafter. It reminds believers to be mindful of their words and actions and to avoid harming others with their tongues or through their pursuit of worldly wealth.

    4. Infographics/ Hifz(Memorization)

    After covering two or three verses. children would be asked to make infographics of the verses. My first Quran with pictures has good infographics. Children can copy them or add their creativity and explain the theme of the verse with the help of drawing objects. (Please visit gallary to see the pictures made by our students.) During this children will start to memorise the verses by heart. We have verse-by-verse tajweed recitation videos. Children will practice and memorize with the help of these videos. (visit the youtube playlist for Tajweed recitation videos)

  • The first surah revealed by Prophet Muhammad: Surah ALAlaq

    The first surah revealed by Prophet Muhammad: Surah ALAlaq

    _

    The first Surah reveald in Makkah on Prophet Muhammad SAW when he was 40 yrs old. This is a very important surah which was revealed in two parts. Both parts have different thems.

    Surah Alaq can be taught step by step using an approach that encompasses understanding the meaning of the verses and memorizing the surah. Here is a suggested teaching method for Surah Alaq:

    Step 1: Introduction and Background

    • Introduction: The first surah revealed, Surah Alaq is the 96th chapter (surah) of the Quran and is also known as “Iqra,” which means “Read” or “Recite.” It holds great importance as one of the earliest revelations received by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) during the early years of his prophethood.
    • This chapter marks a pivotal moment in the revelation of the Quran, introducing profound concepts and messages that continue to guide Muslims to this day.
    • Background: Surah Alaq was revealed in Makkah, prior to the migration (Hijrah) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to Madinah. Verse 1 to 5 is the first revelation. During this period, the Prophet was meditating in the cave of Hira, contemplating the social and spiritual challenges of his community. It was during one such occasion in the month of Ramadan that the angel Jibril (Gabriel) descended upon him and commanded him to “Read” (Iqra).
    • The Prophet, who was unlettered and had not received any formal education, was initially taken aback by the command. However, he humbly responded,
    • “I am not able to read.”
    • The angel Jibril then embraced him tightly, and after releasing him, repeated the command to read. This interaction, believed to have occurred several times, resulted in the revelation of the first verses of Surah Alaq.
    • The revelation of Surah Alaq not only marked the beginning of the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) prophethood but also emphasized the importance of seeking knowledge and the pursuit of education.
    • It instilled in the Muslim community a profound appreciation for learning, literacy, and the acquisition of wisdom.
    • The background of Surah Alaq verse 9 to 19 was revealed later. These verses are about Abu Jahal. It reflects the challenges faced by the Prophet during the early stages of his mission.
    • The pagan society of Makkah, deeply rooted in idolatry and unaware of the monotheistic teachings of Islam, presented significant obstacles to the spreading of the message.
    • However, the revelation of Surah Alaq and subsequent revelations served as a source of guidance, encouragement, and fortitude for the Prophet and his followers.
    • Understanding the introduction and background of Surah Alaq helps to contextualize the significance of this chapter and the transformative impact it had on the early Muslim community. It emphasizes the themes of seeking knowledge, the importance of literacy, and the profound spiritual journey that began with the command to “Read” (Iqra).

    Step 2: Recitation and Listening

    • We encourage students to listen to a recitation of Surah Alaq to familiarize themselves with the Correct Tajweed.
    • We Emphasize correct pronunciation and Tajweed rules during the recitation.
    • We provide word-by-word Tajweed and Recitation videos with word meanings

    Step 3: Translation and Tafsir (Exegesis)

    • We Break down the meaning of each verse, explaining the concepts and ideas conveyed in Surah Alaq. For this purpose, we Read the book ‘My first quran with Pictures’. This book has beautiful infographics that help students understand every verse’s theme.
    • We translate the surah into the student’s easy English, ensuring they understand the message being conveyed.
    • We Use Tafsir resources or explanations by scholars to provide deeper insights into the context and interpretations of the verses. Islamic education books by Molvi Abdul Aziz have excellent short tafsir for children, which is very easy to read and understand.

    Step 4: Reflection and Discussion

    • We encourage students to reflect on the lessons and guidance offered in Surah Alaq. For this purpose, we do some practical work. For example, to teach them the importance of creation, we did an activity of seeding. So a been in a glass jar was grown by children. As humans were created by a clot.
    • We Facilitate a discussion about the significance of seeking knowledge, the consequences of arrogance, and the importance of humility in their lives. The example is clear, Animals and other creatures have very small knowledge so they can’t change their life. But humans are learning and making big changes in this world just because they have knowledge given by Allah.

    Step 5: Memorization

    • We Break down Surah Alaq into manageable segments or verses for memorization. We have 2 classes every week. So 1 or 2 verses would be memorized every day. Children get much time to memorise surah during other activities.
    • We Teach the memorization of the surah using repetition, recitation practice through videos , and memorization techniques.
    • We Emphasize the importance of understanding the meaning of the verses while memorizing them to foster a deeper connection with the surah.

    Step 6: Application and Integration

    • We encourage students to apply the teachings of Surah Alaq in their daily lives.
    • We Discuss practical ways to seek knowledge, practice humility, and avoid arrogance.
    • We encourage them to reflect on the lessons of Surah Alaq in their interactions with others, their studies, and their pursuit of personal growth.

    Step 7: Revision and Assessment

    • We Conduct regular revision sessions to reinforce the memorization of Surah Alaq.
    • We Assess students’ understanding of the surah through quizzes, discussions, or written assignments.
    • We Provide opportunities for students to recite Surah Alaq in class one by one. Every student gets a chance to recite and participate in reading word meanings and discussions to build confidence in their recitation and memorization skills.

    Step 8: Mindmap and Infographic

    • We encourage our students to write word meaning with infographics. It helps to remember meanings as image memory power.
    • After completing the surah, we also help students to mindmap the theme and lessons of the surah with keywords.

    Step 9: Activities.

    • We include various activities during our lessons.
    • We encourage students to do crafting, drawing, and practicals according to the lessons
    • For Surah Alaq we did an activity to grow a seed. It helped students how Allah has created everything.
    • Another activity was About making a list of Skills and knowledge of this world.
    • We also had an activity about picking all the nouns from the surah and making drawings of nouns, like pen, human, Alaq.

    Step 10: Story

    • Storytelling is a basic part of our teaching style.
    • We have the story Story: “From Arrogance to Humility” to read in our class.
    • We collect stories of the creations,
    • Stories of Seerat tu Nbi SAW

    By following this step-by-step teaching method, students can develop a comprehensive understanding of Surah Alaq, memorize its verses, and internalize its timeless teachings, allowing them to apply its wisdom in their lives.
