Full Description
The Guiding Light series has been designed to teach the essential aspects
of Islamic beliefs and practices to children of primary school age. Areas
explored include the core Islamic beliefs; the five pillars of Islam; the Sīrah
(life of the Prophet) and early Islamic history; good manners and etiquette;
moral training and guidance; and much more. Where appropriate, Qur'ānic
passages and Aḥādīth are introduced to support the central theme of each
lesson.
This book is the second in the series and is tailored towards children aged
7-9 who are confident readers. It teaches basic concepts such as: What
are the Asmā'ul-Lāhil-Ḥusnā?; What is the Āyatul-Kursiyy?; What are the
Mucawwidhatayn?; and What was the first Hijrah in Islam? It also explores
what invalidates aṣ-Ṣalāt (prayer), what to expect when attending Friday Prayers,
and the differences between offering ṣalāt in congregation and praying
alone. A further section explores the subject of aṣ-Ṣawm in detail, not
just the annual fast of Ramaḍān, but also supererogatory fasting. The key
features of a mosque are highlighted, together with the rules governing
behaviour when attending the mosque. Other rules of etiquette such as
good table manners and greeting fellow Muslims are also addressed.
Lessons are written in clear, simple English and are kept short to maintain
interest. Most lessons are followed by a comprehension exercise and homework
activities to encourage the pupils to revisit the materials they have
been taught. Classroom discussion points are also included to invite the
children to explore each chapter in greater depth and to think about
how they can apply the lessons in their everyday lives. The passages of
Arabic, where included, are furnished with a pronunciation guide to aid
memorisation and correct recitation, alongside the English meaning to
help foster a good understanding of what is being taught.
