Shadee Elmasry – Halas Fiqh for kids

Presentation for Thank you for waiting so long. All right is how

the amateur so sisterhood Ahmed has been. She's actually one of

the best students in the scholarship track classes. I think

that basically, of all of her exams are like 99%. And then if

it's 99%, I'm gonna get an email of how did that 1% happen. So I

realize mashallah, this student is so strong, and so the students

should be teaching. And now 100, after a couple of years of taking

classes at the scholarship level, now she's teaching fifth for kids,

and she does a very good job at it, and very thorough job at it.

And when, when your kids take class with

take the fifth class with her, you'll see that they do a very

good job. She's thorough, and like FNN f&m learned, basically,

because we're all trying to learn how to get to the student, we're

competing, we're competing against video games, we're competing

against a lot of things here, right? So we have to tweak our

game all the time, so to speak, and see how we can get to students

now has done this as well. And she's going to talk about how she

does this class. But her review session is all through Kahoot

quizzes, which I think the kids really get riled up on and get

excited by so F net, how to take it away, all right.

My God, all right, everybody see me?

Alright, Bismillah R Rahman R. So I'm basically, you know, welcome

to pick for kids and insha, Allah, what we're going to be doing is

we're going to divide the classes into two groups. Some kids have

taken part one with me before, so it will be an intro class. And

basically, we're going to be covering, it's very heavily

focused on salah and the Auto, and the advanced class is going to be

some of the other subjects that we're going to go over in a

second. Each class is going to be divided into a live session, which

is going to be about 30 minutes, we're going to have a Kahoot

interactive game, which the kids have responded really well to, I

think it keeps them competitive. And they review the material just

so that you know, they can be in the top five. And then of course,

the Google Classroom. Occasionally I like to do quizzes. I do like to

do kind of like an open book exam. One of the things that we do in

the class is we usually go based on Shelley's book, and I don't

know if it's going to be available in time for the class, but if not,

I'll be providing the kids with notes each week so that they can

review and go over it with their parents as well inshallah.

Alright, so for the beginner class, what we do is we go over

what is FIP, just kind of give them an example of an a little bit

of an understanding of what that means. And I think it's important

to kind of just define it a little bit for them, because it sounds

like a fancy word. You don't always know what exactly is this?

Foundations of faith. So we do go over heads to brain. And we do

Eman, Islam and xn. And go to give a little bit of an overview with

that. Then we go over the six pillars of Amen And what exactly

it is that we believe as Muslims, and what we're required to

believe. We have the five pillars of Islam, of course, the

conditions of fig leaf, or accountability, the philosophical

hudec. And the fifth pillar, which is actually a big bulk of the

class, and it's probably the most important topic that we go over.

There's a lot of detail and filth of Scylla because we do go over

things like jamaa Janaza prayer, the conditions for each, and

there's a heavy emphasis on things that are obligations, things that

are Nullifiers, things that are sewn in how to correct ourselves

in certain situations.

The advanced class is going to review all of that, and we'll

probably do that primarily through Google. It's one of the things I

like to do is I kind of included in the games, they review these

topics, and it kind of keeps them sharp. And if there's something

one of the things I also do is when you if you've ever seen that

when you play the game,

you when you when you get an answer wrong, you see like okay,

all the different options, and I try to explain why this is the

wrong answer why this is the correct answer. So while I'm I'm

actually going through the game, I provide commentary. So we go

through and then we move on to the next question. And then we're

going to be doing new topics as well. So we're going to be doing

in the next section that's going to be filled with fasting, aka tip

of hash filter food and manners of Amazon. Now if your children have

never taken

formally before, I would recommend starting off with the part one

because one of the things I didn't notice in my last class is even

A lot of children have gone to Islamic schools, they there were

gaps in some of you know their understandings. And it was good to

have an opportunity to elaborate a little bit more on it.

So I definitely recommend if you haven't taken it if their children

haven't taken it before to do that, if you have older children

who would be interested in sitting in and just kind of listening,

this is a great review. I mean, honestly, I recommend for

everyone, every couple of years, everyone should review, because

it's one of those things where there's always little things that

slipped through the cracks, and you kind of forget about them.

But I definitely think the only downside for older kids listening

in is that this is a PG version of. So there are topics of puberty

and loss and things like that, that I don't go over. But if you

let me know, if there are older kids who, you know, are just

following along with us, I might be able to provide maybe a little

bit of notes or anything for some of the topics that we brought with

that we, you know, glance over.

But I do think it's important that you know, kids, you know, I know,

it's like a dry topic. It's not necessarily the most fun for kids.

But it's really, really important. And again, it's one of those

things where we build,

we start off one year, we're, you know, doing these subjects they

might forget and remember 50% of it. And then the next time they

take it, they remember a little bit more, and the next time a

little bit more. So I mean, that's the kind of the methodology that

we're implementing. And in the meantime, we want to have them

have a positive

interaction with the topic in the class. All right, so if you have

any questions, please, please feel free to email me. If you have

specific questions. During the class. If your parents and you

want more information, and you feel like you don't understand

something, or you want to review something with your children, and

you're struggling, you know, just please reach out like this is a

joint effort, I highly recommend that the parents, you know, keep

on top of what their kids are learning. Sometimes it's good

review for the parents even so

if you have any questions again, please reach out to me. And I

think that is it for my end.

Thank you very much. And this class, mashallah, I've seen

students and heard back from parents who benefit a lot from the

thorough review that occurs every week. That's the most important

part. And I think like the most important other important part

that you mentioned is gapps. Many people have come to me, Oh, I

don't want to take we'll do it again. And I have some students

who are famous for this. I can't believe we have to study we'll do

it again. And I'm ready. Okay, well, name me everything that

breaks will do. And they can't do it. Right, or, namely, the

obligations versus the Sunnah. And they can't do it. So very much

like to tweet, people think that they're only learning to tweet

when they're reciting. Yeah, realizing it's when they're

listening. Same thing with fic, there are gaps in everyone's gaps.

And I definitely noticed that like, there are even, you know,

adults who, who don't know anything about such as the

distaff, or, like, that's important, or, you know, they'll

think you can make a deal with pool water or, you know, something

like that, you know, there'll be something simple, but it's one of

those things where like, these are such, especially the hot out and

solid, like, so, so, so important, because it's like our daily lives,

like five times a day, this is like, your Salah counting. So I

think it's really important that like we review, especially for

football, like every so often. And again, if the parents have any

questions about something that I'm teaching, or they want, like

further elaboration on something, I'm happy to, you know, to provide

it. And again, I know, like, there have been a number of parents who

have reached out about older kids, and my oldest son is 14. And he

sits in sometimes and he listens in and I know that there are

things that are missing, and I fill in those gaps myself, but

it's still the majority of the information is something that any

age can benefit from, and I look at the first students that took

his class last semester, they would be able to basically will

take the advanced class. So if you've taken either with myself or

or brother Ali, or I believe Sister, you are also taught it

last semester. So taking classes with any of us in sha Allah, I

would recommend taking the advanced class. If you haven't,

then I would really recommend starting off with from the very

beginning again, it's going to be reviewed, but there will be gaps.

I almost get like all the almost all the kids in my last class had

gone to Islamic school, and I still noticed that there were gaps

in in what they knew. So definitely recommend that

inshallah. All right, thank you very much.

I can say Allah and that basically
