Lesson Plans for Yasser and Zahra Meet the Animals in the Qur’an

The Holy month of Ramadhan is a month in which we make an effort to connect to the Holy Qur’an.
This year, Sun Behind The Cloud Publications is pleased to present lesson plans for children aged 3-12 years based on the new book Yasser and Zahra Meet the Animals in Qur’an, in an attempt to spark our children’s interest in the Qur’an.
The contents of Yasser and Zahra Meet the Animals in the Qur’an has been checked for accuracy of tafsir and Islamic information by Hujjatul Islam Shaykh Dr. Mohammad Saeed Bahmanpour.
The lessons are planned with an online learning environment in mind and can be pre-recorded YouTube videos, Zoom lessons, or taught face to face. The idea is to adapt these lessons to what best suits your community and the children you are teaching. For this reason, we have provided a variety of different options for activities for each lesson. You may also decide to choose a certain number of lessons from the ones listed below, depending on how many programmes your community runs for children over the month. There are also some ideas for activities that can be carried out throughout the month.
As we are all missing the community spirit during the extended lockdown, we have created a padlet site. This is an online forum where parents, and community teachers can post their children’s activities in a safe place online for others to view and be inspired by. All the comments on this site will be moderated by SunBehind The Cloud.
For more information about the ethos behind the lesson plans, please refer to our YouTube presentation.
It is our most sincere prayer that you find these lesson plans useful and that the light and guidance of the Qur’an enters our hearts. Ameen.
