He is in the mid of the Conspiracy…

January 24, 2018 By Ayesha Marfani-Muslim Author Leave a Comment

 

The shadow in this picture is one of the three main characters from my book, “I am half-truth, I am full truth, I am all lie.”  He is in the mid of the conspiracy.

It is dark and the jungle looks spooky but he is busy in digging a hole.

Why is he digging a hole when the world is sleeping?

Does he want to hide something?

You must read the book or create your own story but don’t forget to share it with me in the comment box.

Teaching Islamic History Creatively

October 31, 2017 By Ayesha Marfani-Muslim Author 3 Comments

Islamic lessons must be designed creatively. The Islamic knowledge must be imparted in the way that students find it interesting. Here are some innovative lesson planning ideas that could work amazingly.

Mystery solving using a visual mind map

The educator can design the mystery visual maps on varied topics.  The sample given below may guide how this technique works.

This mind map will be displayed and children will be asked to decipher the picture using the following bulleted statements

Phase 1 focus the main picture

  • See what it shows

Phase 2 naming the event

  • Identify and locate the things used in the event
  • Identify the time of the occurrence of the event

Clues

  • It was lost by Muslims after getting close to the victory
  • Muslims failed to follow the commands of Muhammad (P.B.U.H)
  • A lot of Sahabas were martyred

Phase 3 (Focus the linked pictures)

Picture 2 TO 5

These pictures are related to picture one

Clues

  • They show the role of someone in picture 1
  • See how the object could be used in specific event in the identified historical time
  1. The students in the first phase will identify that it is war
  2. In the second phase, they will reach the conclusion that it is Ghazwah-e-Uhud
  3. In the third phase, they will come to know that it is related to the role of women
  4. In the fourth phase, they will decipher the role of women in following headings
  5. They carried the leather bag (Mashkiza) in order to give water to the injured
  6. There is the sword in the women hand in picture 3, the students will find out who used it, how when and why
  7. They will decipher the first aid items for ancient times and they will know how women treated the ills
  8. In picture 4, there are the Arabic verses that were said by women to raise the inspiration of the soldiers

Technique number 2

Coordinated flashcards

  • Make the flash cards and jumble them.
  • Then ask the children to read the flashcards.
  • Then allow them to read full text related to the event.
  • Ask them to arrange the flash cards in order.
  • Then ask them to fill the details under the title
  • Then allow them to paste their flashcards on the chart so that it could be displayed

The sample below may tell you how to use this technique.

  • These are the step by step titles on the role of Muhammad in the battle of Hunain.

Titles of flashcards

  • use of before the war tactics
  • sending of Sahaba to gather the information against enemy
  • the decision on initiating the attack on the settling place of the enemy
  • collection of weapons for the war
  • appointed to various leading roles to different people
  • the arrangement of the army on the battlefield in ranks and awarding of flags
  • getting himself armed for the war
  • encouragement at the moment of delicacy
  • displaying himself as a true leader to make other imitate him
  • fulfilling the duty of calling enemies towards Islam
  • his deep prayers for the victory
  • welcoming the victory with the integrity and humbleness

sample flashcards are presented below

 

Technique number 3

A map showing demographics of events

Phase 1

Decipher the graph

Reading the graph together with students

  • It shows the war whose demographics is shown in the graph
  • It shows no bloodshed
  • It says 0 days spend in the war
  • It shows the waiting for enemy for 20 days
  • It shows zero injury
  • Result of the war: Muslim won the war

You can ask your child to search for the name of the event using the above facts extracted from the graph.

They will research the facts then they will know that it was the battle of Tabok

See the demonstration:

Technique number 4

Use of mystery creating props

The use of props can be an excellent idea below is the example that will show how this could prove an excellent idea. Like if you wish to teach the difference in Arab culture before and after Islam, you can arrange the props on two tables.

Before Islam:

  • A crying doll
  • A sword
  • A wine glass
  • A poster of war

After Islam:

  • Hijabi dolls
  • A balance
  • A poster of peace

I hope you enjoyed the post. Please share your techniques in the comment box.
