Another nice poem I can across…

Qur’an On One Side, Sunnah On The Other
by Umm Hanifah ARE
Quraan on one side of my heart Sunnah on the other I can’t function without either Eemaan pumping around my body keeping me active and alive Quraan  on one side  of my heart Sunnah  on the other My brain working with a rhythm Eemaan  rushing through  my veins keeping me  stable mind  and body Quraan  on one side  of my heart Sunnah  on the other My heart  functioning  because of Deen Eemaan  present in the  bloodstream Keeping me  elated and serene

MashaAllah, this is a nice poem I found to make us think.

My Chance is Gone
by Zaki Thompson GBR
I’ve gone away No one will ever see me again I wished I prayed But I forgot and never cared But look at me now I never been so afraid Standing in front of my God With tears running down my eyes Two books opened out in front of me I’ve never seen so many pages I always thought I was good But it looked like I was so bad I tired and I tired to tell Allah  (*I think he meant tried and tried) That I’m sorry If He would send me back I’ll change completely But there is no more chances I should have been a better Muslim The Signs on Earth Showed me that Allah was real But me thinking stupid I never thought it was real That’s why I’m here, where I stand At the gates of Hell I cried and I cried But no one is going to help me now

Click on the link above

to read another nice poem by Shel Silverstein. The title of the poem is “The Giving Tree”. You can just read the text and skip the video. There was background music, so I paused it and just read the text. Enjoy the poem and think about what moral you can learn from it. We’ll discuss it next week, inshaAllah.

Homework due Monday, April 15th

Write your new spelling words five times each and complete the worksheet I handed out in class today. See you Monday, inshaAllah.

7th graders: the link to your new spelling list can be found below. Today is already Wednesday and we’ve been making some adjustments at school. So, we will have the test for your new list next Thursday, inshaAllah. Be sure to study them thoroughly. After you click on the link, it will take you to a page with a bunch of lists. Your list for next week is titled “part one”. I want you to use the online dictionary available on the same web page as the lists. What you will do after clicking on dictionary is enter each word into the search bar. After each word is entered, you will see on left side of the page the words “short hint”. Use the definition under “short hint” for your flashcards. I know there are 30 words. That’s OK! You can do it, inshaAllah. We will work on them–and, mashaAllah, most of your test grades show me that you can handle it.
