NERVOUSDAY 1

moral

When Allah spoke to Nabi Musa in the Valley of Tuwa, he

commanded Nabi Musa to go Firaun and his people to preach.

Nabi Musa was very nervous because the disbelievers were

very mean. Nabi Musa prayed to Allah with the following verse

Qaala Rabbish rah lee sadree Wa yassir leee amree Wahlul 'uqdatam

milli saanee Yafqahoo qawlee

(Moses) said: "O my Lord! expand me my breast; "Ease my task for me; "And remove the impediment

from my speech, "So they mayunderstand what I say" (20:25-28)

Allah granted Nabi Musa's prayer and told him that He will always be there.

 We should recite this Dua when we are nervous and we will be reassured that Allah will always be there for us.

mu'mineen (21:87-88)

"There is no god but thou: glory to thee: I was indeed wrong!" So We listened to him: and delivered him

from distress: and thus do We deliver those who have faith.

Allah accepted Nabi Yunus's Dua and the whale spit him

out.

When we recite this Dua, Allah will give us the strength to no

FORGIVENESSDAY 3

When Nabi Adam listened to Shaytaan and ate from the fruit tree that Allah had told him to

stay away from, Nabi Adam became very remorseful and

prayed to Allah for forgiveness with the following verse:

Qaalaa Rabbanaa zalamnaaa anfusanaa wa illam taghfir lanaa

wa tarhamnaa lanakoonanna minal khaasireen

They said: "Our Lord! We have wronged our own souls: If thou

forgive us not and bestow not upon us Thy Mercy, we shall certainly be

lost." (7:23)

Even the angels prayed for Nabi Adam. Allah forgave Nabi Adam and sent him along with his wife, Hawa to the

Earth. When we do something that makes Allah unhappy, we should recite this Dua so that the angels can take our Dua to

Allah so that we may be forgiven.

Take a few popcorn kernels and with the help of an adult pop the in a pot over the stove. Notice how the small amount of kernels turns into a big yummy bowl of

popcorn  similar to how Allah takes our good deeds and turns them into beautiful rewards we will get in Jannah

SICKNESSDAY 4

When Nabi Ayyub became very sick, he could not even leave his house. He began to pray to Allah

with the following verse

And (remember) Job, when He cried to his Lord, "Truly distress has seized me, but Thou art the Most Merciful of those that are

merciful." So We listened to him: 

We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his people to him, and doubled their number,-as a Grace from Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration, for all

who serve Us. (21:83-84)

Allah heard Nabi Ayyub’s Dua and told him to use his leg to hit the ground and a small fountain of water would come out.

Nabi Ayyub drank the water and washed himself with it and he was cured!   When we don't feel very well, we should recite this

verse so that Allah can hear our call and make us feel better!

WISDOMDAY 5

Nabi Ibrahim was addressing the disbelievers (which included his

uncle Azhar). While explaining the truth and teaching about Islam,

Nabi Ibrahim made this Dua:

"O my Lord! bestow wisdom on me, and join me with the righteous;

"Grant me honourable mention on the tongue of truth among the latest (generations);"Make me one of the

inheritors of the Garden of Bliss. (26:83-85)

When we recite this Dua, Allah guides our knowledge to the right path so that we are able to think with a clear mind. 

Using a fizzy vitamin, show them the hard vitamin as an example of bad deed on our record, pop into water and start saying "Astaghfirullah" as you see

the vitamin start to bubble up and fizz. Keep saying the magic words and the bad deed record melts and

dissolves away.

TRUSTING ALLAH(SWT) DAY 10

The people during Nabi Ibrahim (AS) were furious when they

found all the idols destroyed by the prophet. They decided to

throw Nabi Ibrahim (AS) in the fire. The prophet prayed and

trusted Allah (SWT) to keep him safe. Allah (SWT) turned the fire from hot to cold and made it safe

for the Prophet.

"Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear

them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said,

"Sufficient for us is Allah , and [He is] the best Disposer of

affairs."" (3:173)

Whenever you are in a difficult situation pray this Dua and trust Allah (SWT) to  take care of your matters.

Al-Khaliq means "The Creator".  Let us witness His creation. Go outdoors and spend some time talking about what Allah had created.

Talk about how He created everything from nothing, with no help.  Allah made the clouds, Allah made the sun, Allah made the turtles etc.  Collect things from your time outside (e.g. twigs, leaves and

flowers!)

OBEYING YOUR PARENTS 

DAY 11

Owais Qarni loved the prophet immensely but never got the chance

to meet him because he was attending to his sick mother. Owais was once given the permission to go visit theHoly Prophet (PBUH) by his mother with the condition of meeting him

only at his home. Owais travelled 3 months by foot and when he arrived

Madina, he discovered that the Prophet was away.

When we feel like we want to do something that our parents do not think is good for us, we should respect their decisions. Our reward from

Allah (SWT) for obeying our parents will be much greater. 

Al-Wadood can be translated as "The Most Loving."  The idea that Allah loves us, even more than mummy and daddy. Bake some heart shaped rice crispy TREATS as a wonderful visual reminder that Allah loves you!

A traveller once requested Imam Ali Ridha (AS) for help after losing all his

belongings on his way to Ziyarat.  He promised in return to give the same amount to a poor man once he arrived his city. The Imam took the man in a

room after all the companions left and gave him the money in a very discrete

manner.  When asked by his companions why he

helped the traveller in that way,

We should remember to always be humble and think of others

before ourselves because it makes Allah (SWT) happy with us. This Dua allows us to keep

humility in the back of our minds and seek guidance from

Allah (SWT).

the Imam explained that he did not want

to see the man humiliated.

When we make a promise, we should remember that we are accountable and that Allah knows all that we do. We should fulfill all of our promises because we will be asked about them on the Day of

Judgement.

TRUSTWORTHY

DAY 28

Prophet Muhammed (saww) was known as Al Amin (the Trustworthy) before he declared he was a prophet. The people in Mecca always trusted

doing business with the holy Prophet. This quality captured Bibi Khadija’s attention as she was eager to meet the man who everyone described as

the most trustworthy. 

MORAL

Fa-ʾin ʾamina baʿḍukum baʿḍan fa-l- yuʾaddi lladhi ʾtumina ʾamānatahu wa-l- yattaqi llaha rabbahu wa-la taktumu sh- shahadata wa-man yaktumha fa-ʾinnahu ʾāthimun qalbuhu wa-llahu bi-ma

taʿmaluna ʿalīm. (2:283)  But if one of you trusts another, then he who is trusted should deliver his trust, and let him be careful (of his duty to)

Allah, his Lord.

ACTIVITYSurah's you know: colour in orangeSurah's you need to learn: colour in

green

When we are trustworthy, people tend to become closer

to us and they rely on us. Being trustworthy means that

we are emulating one of Rasulullah’s titles; what could

we want more than that?! 

CONFIDENCE

DAY 29

Bibi Zainab (as) gave a powerful sermon at Yazids Court. The way she delivered the speech was with such

confidence and elequonce that it changed the whole happy atmosphere in the court to a state of morning as

some men started weeping. Her confidence was such that she did not fear that she was a captive talking to

a big army. 

Rabb-ishrah li sadri, wa yassir li ‘amri, Wah-lul ‘uqdatam-min-li-

saani, Yaf-qahuu qawlii  (20:25-28)

O my Lord! Open for me my chest (grant me self-confidence,

contentment, and boldness); Ease my task for me; And remove the impediment from my speech, so they may understand what I say

TEAMWORKDAY 30

One day the Holy prophet (pbuh) and his companions

were travelling. They stopped to rest and prepare their meal.

One of the companion said they would slaughter the sheep. The

other companion offered to remove the skin and the third companion offered to roast it. The holy Prophet (saww)

said he would collect the firewood.

The companions told the prophet not to take the trouble and that

they would attend to it. The Prophet (saww) replied that hard work and teamwork pleases Allah

(swt).

in ureedu illal islaaha mastata't; wa maa tawfeeqeee illaa billaah;

(11:88) and my success (in my task) can

only come from Allah.
