Assalamu Alaikum, my dear Grade 1 pupils! 🌟 Today, we’re going to learn about something very special in Islam: the Articles of Faith. These are the important beliefs that every Muslim holds in their heart. Let’s dive right in! 📚🕌
🧩 Article 1: Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) This means we believe there is only one Allah, the one and only God. Allah has no partners, and He is the creator of everything. 🌍☝️
🌟 Example: Look at the sky, the trees, and the animals around us. Allah made them all!
🧩 Article 2: Angels (Malaika) Muslims believe in angels. Angels are Allah’s special helpers who do good things and never disobey Allah. 👼💫
🌟 Example: When you do something good, like helping a friend, the angels write it down for Allah to see!
🧩 Article 3: Holy Books (Books of Allah) Muslims believe in the holy books that Allah sent to guide us, like the Quran, which is the most important one. 📖🕌
🌟 Example: The Quran is like a treasure chest full of wisdom and guidance for us to follow.
🧩 Article 4: Prophets (Prophets of Allah) We believe in Allah’s prophets, like Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). They teach us about Allah’s rules and how to be good people. 🙏👳♂️
🌟 Example: Just like how your teachers help you learn, prophets help us learn about Allah.
🧩 Article 5: Day of Judgment (Yawm al-Qiyamah) We believe that one day, we will all stand in front of Allah, and He will judge us for our actions. It’s like a big test! 📜🌅
🌟 Example: Imagine doing your best in a school test. On the Day of Judgment, we want Allah to be proud of us.
Remember, these Articles of Faith are like the building blocks of our faith in Islam. They help us become better Muslims and better people. 🤗💖
Now, let’s say them together: 🤲 Tawheed 👼 Angels 📖 Holy Books 👳♂️ Prophets 🌅 Day of Judgment
Great job, my little scholars! Keep learning and growing in your faith. 🌟📚🤗
