2012 is approaching the end line, the school break has started for our children, and the KAFA class ended smoothly yesterday, all praises be to Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Gracious.

Auntie Yenti just recapped our previous session about Jesus and Mary before the caliphs were divided into two groups where everyone learnt to read their Al-Baghdadi book.

We watched a few videos during teatime and it's so nice to see our little caliphs singing the Al-fatihah song together with the video..

Kafa d'Notts (15 Dec 2012)

Assalamualaikum wbt...

Hello everyone...!
How's everything getting on?

Alhamdulillah, our KAFA class had completed another session last week. (Sorry for the late update though) But yeah, as the Arabic saying goes "Time is like a sword, if you don't cut it, it'll cut you", let's thank Allah for giving us another chance to gather the kids and have fun learning Islam..

Oh, Christmas is just around the corner, so, 'in conjunction' with loads of information that our little caliphs received from their surrounding, Auntie Yenti told us the real story of Jesus and Mary.. Auntie Yenti also taught us a new song..yeayyy!!

There lived a lady long ago..long ago..long ago

There lived a lady long ago

Her name was Mary

Mary was a special lady… special lady.. special lady

Mary was a special lady

Allah loved her so much

Allah gave her summer fruits… summer fruits.. summer fruits

Allah gave her summer fruits

When it’s winter

Allah gave her winter fruits… winter fruits.. winter fruits

Allah gave her winter fruits

When it’s summer

Off she went to Baitulmaqdis… Baitulmaqdis… Baitulmaqdis

Off she went to Baitulmaqdis

Allah sent her an Angel

The Angel’s name was Gabriel… Gabriel… Gabriel…

The Angel’s name was Gabriel

Gabriel told Mary

“I am the messenger of Allah… messenger of Allah.. messenger of Allah”

I am the messenger of Allah

Mary gonna have a baby

Mary was so much in pain.. so much in pain..so much in pain

Mary was so much in pain

Allah protected Mary

In this session, we also learnt Arabic words..We learnt how to say the word 'tree' and to count in Arabic. The caliphs were so excited to come to the front and write the numbers in Arabic on the newly bought whiteboard. 

everybody wanted to give a shot..

Raina wrote a few numbers in Arabic

Abang Arif wrote the word 'syajaratun' which means tree

Then the Qur'an class took place as usual, with the older caliphs being divided into two groups led by two Teachers each and the younger ones were gathered at the living room and been introduced to the Arabic letters.

During teatime, the caliphs enjoyed so-delicious-finger-licking cakes brought by Adam for it was his birthday, syukran Adam and his mummy!! not forgetting the crunchy yummy made-in-malaysia-popia-goreng :))

Let's recite the prayer before eating.:)))

Till the next session, (that's gonna be tomorrow =.=' ) inshaAllah..

Happy winter break all...Assalamualaikum..!

Assalamualaikum wbt Alhamdulillah another KAFA class was held on the 4th of August at auntie Yentti's house. Jazakalahu khair to the host, teachers and students for giving their full support and cooperation in making this KAFA class an enjoyable learning experience for all those involved. One of the main activities for the day was getting to know our beloved Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. This is done in an interactive way by having the kids build the Prophet's family tree and telling them stories along the way. Let the pictures do the rest of the talking then! :)

We also learned about the names of Prophet Muhammad's sons and daughters!

The next activity was learning how to recite Suratul Fatihah and Suratul Ikhlas. The kids were given homework that is to go back and practise reciting the surahs. They will be asked to recite the full surahs again at the next KAFA class. :) Till next time!

KAFA d'Notts (28 July 2012)

Assalamualaikum wbt. Alhamdulillah, praise to Almighty Allah for with His blessings, another KAFA class was successfully held with a very good turn out, MasyaAllah! The students were divided into senior and junior calliphs. The senior calliphs were taught on one of the basic Tajweed that is the Mad Asli. They then recited the Quran under the guidance of the teachers. Next on the activity list is playing the fun and educational game of Quran Puzzle! :)

The junior calliphs had their own fun by playing the game 'Who created What?' where they have to guess what the teachers have hidden in a box and a small sack and shout out loud who created it.

The little calliphs were then taught the Arabic alphabet 'Mim' and the different sounds of 'Mim'.
