Day 1 Light upon Light Enlightening the little hearts with the light of knowledge... 4 Knowing Allah through: • • Quran – The Speech of Allah. Sunnah - The sayings, actions and silent approvals o f the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. 5 Surah Ikhlaas Allah says in Surat Al-Ikhlas “Say, He is Allah, He is One. Allah is Perfect, (does not require or need anything). He does not give birth, He was not born (from anything). And there is none equal to Him” [Surat Al-Ikhlas] Let us collect all the facʦ about Allah we found out from this Surah: He is ONE No Parenʦ Etрnal No Children No Comparison Presentation title 7 Whрe is Allah? LEFT RIGHT DOWN UP Whрe is Allah? LEFT RIGHT DOWN UP How Did You Know? Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven, will not cause the earth to sink with you …?" [67:16] “The Most Merciful rose above His Throne (in a manner that befits His Majesty)”. [Taha : 5] 9 How Did You Know? Prophet ﷺpointed up with his finger, when addressing the people in the greatest gathering, on the Day of ‘Arafah during his Last Pilgrimage. He also used to raise his hands towards heaven when he made du’a. 10 Allah above the 7 Heavens on His Throne Allah Throne of Allah 7th Heaven 6th Heaven 5th Heaven 4th Heaven 3rd Heaven 2nd Heaven 1st Heaven (Our Sky) 12 Presentation title Al-Khaliq: The Creator • • Allah is the Creator (Al-Khaliq). He created everything. He created the heavens, and the earth. Wonder about the huge mountains you see, wonder about the waves of the oceans, the clouds, the rain, the waterfalls, the flowers, the gardens, the desert, the sea, the moon, and the sun. Allah is the Creator of them all. Ar-Razzaq: The Providр • • • • • Ar-Razzaq (the One who Provides). He gave us the rain, which comes from above. He gave us the food, and what we drink. He gave us the hearing, and the sight. He gave us the air we breathe, and He gave us money and wealth. Al-Aziz: The Mighty • • Allah Al Aziz is The Most Strong and never becomes weak, unlike ourselves who become weak and things happen to us because we are imperfect. Anything that moves or stays still is all BY THE MIGHT OF ALLAH. Look around you, what do you see? Look Around You! Try to count the things around you. We cannot count the blessings which Allah has blessed us with. Shall we talk about a few of them? The Sky I see sky outside my window – beautiful, vast, clean. The clouds are floating in the sky – can you hold any object and leave it to float in the air? The Sun • • The sun is far enough away from us on earth so that we don’t get burned by it and it is close enough to the earth to give us warmth and keep us alive. The sun rises in east and sets in west, who asked the sun to do that? Imagine if thрe was no Sunshine There would be no ____ . It would always be __________ . The Moon The moon comes after the sun sets. Think when you see the moon when it is full. How beautiful it is. No one else apart from Allah decides how bright the moon is in the sky. Presentation title 23 Think The Stars Subhan Allah there are so many. Can you ever count how many stars are there in the universe? Who do you think can know?

Our Body َﻟﻘَدْ ﺧَ َﻠ ْﻘﻧَﺎ ْٱﻹِﻧﺳَ ـٰنَ ﻓِﻰٓ أَﺣْ ﺳَ ِن َﺗﻘْوِ ﯾ ۢ ٍم We have certainly created man in the best of stature; [95:4] Every look at you own body. Who created you? Imagine if we did not have thсe Body Parʦ! If we had no ears, we could not _______? If we had no tongue or mouth, we could not _______ to our friends and our family. If our eyes did not work at all, we would not be able to _______anything. Fruits What is your favorite fruit? Look at their colors! Furniture Who made the chairs? How did carpenter get the wood? Where did the tree come from? Transportation Clever people called engineers make cars. Where do people get their ideas from? Let me guess, the nose? Clothes Everything we see is MADE by someone. Nothing can be made by itself. Tailor makes clothes, where does the cloth come from? Bring me something and talk about how it came to us from Allah? 32 When someone givс us something, what do we say? If Allah givс us so much then we should say... Alhumdulillah! . I Love Allah We should love Him more than anyone or anything else! Worship Allah Alone We must worship Allah alone without any partners. Worshipping other than Allah makes no sense, because it is Allah who created everything and Who controls everything. Nothing Created Allah He has always been here. He was here before He created everything. Nothing created Allah. Allah Knows Evрything He knows everything that ever happened. He knows everything that is happening in the world and in space at this moment. He knows everything that is going to happen in the future. Allah Doсn’t Need Anything He Is Able to do Evрything He just ‘be’ says and it happens. Can you all say ‘be’ ? were you able to create something? 40 Can we see Allah? Hadith about seeing Allah: Narrated Jarir: Allah's Messenger ( )ﷺcame out to us on the night of the full moon and said, "You will see your Lord on the Day of Resurrection as you see this (full moon) and you will have no difficulty in seeing Him." How can we believe He is there? We cannot see Allah in this world, but we should know in our heart that He is there. We believe in Allah because we see things around us that Allah has made, that no one else can make. Belief in Unseen buildings footprints the sun, the stars and the moon We need to Believe in Allah without Seeing Him! ....And We sent down iron in which there is strong power, and benefits for the people; and (We did it) so that Allah knows the one who helps Him and His messengers without seeing (Him). Surely Allah is Strong, Mighty. [Surah Al-Hadîd: 25] Activity Time Jazak Allah Khair Loveliс!
