Shadee Elmasry – Youssra Kandils Stories of the Prophets for Tweens

When the Fall term comes alright without any further delay, let's

now move to use Euro camel congealed. She is a local from

Central Jersey, masha Allah and has in fact been with this

organization and been with our effort and our work from day one

and 220 13 doing classes during the weekdays and hamdulillah in

the past year and a half or so she's come back to do classes for

us both on site and now online as obviously everything now is

online. And so sister you sort of take it away now and you come off

a little later but I can so nice to be here today Masha Allah, and

hamdulillah I've been very blessed to be part of Safina from the very

very beginning hamdulillah whether I was teaching or studying and

really blessed to be one of Sheikh Shadi students Europe for like

many years and hoping it off inshallah for many years to come,

we have lost hundreds Allah bless him and verses efforts and you

know, all the knowledge that we've gained from him. And so I think in

return, as I've always learned that when you learn something you

have to pass the knowledge on, even if it's just something small,

and inshallah isn't Allah, I'm going to be teaching the twins,

which is the age I really enjoy teaching. They're not very little

yet or you know, our and they're not in those teenage years either

where it's kind of like, you have to figure out what you're going to

say and how you're going to say it and you know how to kind of really

get them engaged. It's a very different age SubhanAllah. But

inshallah is and I'm gonna be teaching the twins. And we were in

the past, during the fall session, we kind of covered a little bit of

we started with the Maliki thanks for them. And then after that, we

did a bit of Syrah and I realized that they really, really enjoy

Storytelling, which is something I think we can all agree upon that,

you know, listening to stories always kind of like, sticks with

us, we learn something from it, it's something we can relate to as

human beings because it has stories of other people, other

human interactions and what happened and what not. So

inshallah isn't Allah in this course, I'm going to be doing

Stories of the Prophets. I'm hoping and a little bit again, as

I said, was the brother it was saying their attention span really

after 30 minutes is like kind of like, okay, I know they're looking

at me, but they're kind of like, zoned out there somewhere else.

And I kind of understand even as an adult, sometimes after 30

minutes, you need to get up you need to just, you know, move do

something, to kind of refresh and get refocused on hoping and shall

lead up to be able to engage the kids. And this is not just kind of

going to be the type of class where they sit down and they get a

lecture, but more of interaction, I'm hoping Inshallah, we can have

something called breakout rooms of those of you who are familiar with

Zoom, where the kids can break up into groups, they could present

something at the end of class. One of the main things that I really

want to focus on on the Stories of the Prophets is something I

realized a lot of the kids that I've taught in the past even my

own children, they always kind of get confused on how each prophet

was actually sent to complete the one before they're all came with

the same message. But it was kind of like, you know,

differently, not different. It's the same idea of believing in one

God but then certain rules applied each time and I feel like you

know, they'd always asked me like, so wait a minute. So how are the

people that were living at the time of Cigna ESA still considered

Muslims as like, well if you lived at the time of Cigna, ESA right

and it was a nice at that time you would have to follow a nice and

you'll be considered you know Hanafi or Muslim or believing in

one Allah or you know one god. Um, so I think I really really want to

focus on this idea how all the prophets came to complete one

another and how they came with the same message. And one thing and

show I'm going to be trying to implement in class is memorizing

one dua for each prophet as we go along and then inshallah compiling

in sha Allah brick breakout rooms as I said, presentations between

them during class I'm not going to be assigning any homework or

anything, because I don't want the kids to be kind of turned off with

the idea oh, this is another class we just finished school. So

storytelling presentations, hopefully inshallah maybe some

poetry some improv so we'll try to pull out some of these you know,

the talents that they might have and inshallah memorizing Hadith as

well as we go and hoping to build up and hopefully Europe Inshallah,

that they will be able to apply this hadith to know which Prophet

said which dua when not Hadith sorry sir Hadees I meant so which

Prophet use which dua in which situation and then hopefully, you

know, like, you know, they will be able to apply maybe if someone is

not feeling well, they could see the Dropseed now, you will not

have the NEMA Senya Rwanda homograph Amin or something

they're struggling with you know, saving national hybrid benefits

Dana open between us one common value mean or you know, and so on

and so forth. So, this is inshallah my goal for the for this

course there is no book that they need to have, I just want them to

come home inshallah you know, ready to have a good time and to

learn a new story and you draw hopefully until I could also share

with them the drawers if you would want to review with them and keep

on you know, practicing the jaws every day. And know which is said

what is the lesson Shall I will be trying to share that? And of

course, any you know, any questions or anything and shall

I'm going to be more than happy to respond to them, just like well

located on Thank you very much just yesterday, and could you tell

us again, real quick, what time is your class? What's the schedule
