The Sihah Sitta are 6 Hadith books from amongst all the Hadith books that have achieved a great deal of Qubool [acceptance] in the Ummah, in that they are studied in the final years of Islamic Scholarship courses. They do not all contain only Saheeh narrations but as the Arabic saying goes ‘للاكثر حكم الكل’. The ruling of the majority applies to the whole.

From a young age, Muslims should be taught about our great Hadith and Sunnah tradition. The following is a map showing where their compilers hailed from. It is interesting to note that most of them were non-Arabs, which shows the religion of Islam is based on piety and not lineage. All praise unto Allah for this religion.

My wonderful teacher once said that in order to know an author, one should study their book and in order to know a book, one should study the author. This increases us in awareness and reverence for the book and respect for the scholars and their sacrifices.

For full benefit, a brief biography of the author should be taught before starting a book.

There are 6 types of fast. Out of the 6, 2 types are divided into a further 2. There are 2 types of Fardh and Wajib: Muayyan and Ghayr Muayyan. Details available
here
. The following could even be played as a spin game and whichever one lands by you, you provide examples for. Allah knows best.

This wonderful chart is from another blog. It is about whom fasting in Ramadhan is compulsory on:
Someone who is Muslim, reached the age of maturity, sane, physically able to do so, a non traveller and a woman who is not in a state where she is exempted from fasting.


Note: Many people do not partake Suhoor. This is not correct because Suhoor differentiates us from people of other religions, gives us strength, allows us to thank Allah for food and it is a time for blessings amongst other things. Not partaking it reduces the spirit of Ramadhan.

Fruity fact:
The plural of fruit is both 'fruit' and 'fruits'. If you are talking about one type of fruit or fruit in general, then use 'fruit' for plural. If you are talking about different types of fruit, then use 'fruits' for plural. Example: 'I love fruit. There are many different fruits here'.

Nowadays, youngsters are often disregarded and patronised.

However, in the time of the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be blessings, they were honoured and taught excellently as they were the future generation of Islam.

Sayidina Usama bin Zaid at the age of 19-20 was made commander of a major army by the Messenger of Allah. Giants like Sayidina Khalid bin Waleed were under his command. When the Messenger of Allah passed away Sayidina Abubakr insisted on sending the army with Usama and only Usama as the leader. He was successful.

Below are the names of major major Sahaaba who were young when they accepted Islam. Most became Muslim before their families so it was Allah’s guidance and their own understanding that led them to faith.

Colouring activity about 8 main Prophets [upon them be peace].




Note: Dawood alayhissalaam's link is with armour because he defeated Jaaloot [Goliath] and he was the 1st person to invent armour. Iron would melt easily in his hands and he could mould it in different shapes. This was a miracle given to him by Allah the Most High.

Note: Students should also be taught that despite the fact that Adam alayhissalaam ate from the tree, he was Ma'soom [innocent from sin] as all Prophets are. This was a vehicle for man coming to Earth.



The following are not in the correct order. Can be used the same way as
this activity.
