Since most of the books currently available do not include activities or exercises to help engrain religious concepts in the minds of children, it became essential to fashion this workbook into an activity and problem-based learning tool. Each chapter focuses on the explanation of religious concepts in a brief and simple manner and includes appropriate activities to reinforce the concepts. It is our hope and prayers that the format of this workbook will not only stimulate active learning but will also enable students to practically apply these religious concepts to their daily lives, Insha Allah. The dedication and efforts of the contributors to this noble effort are gratefully acknowledged and appreciated. The syllabus was adapted and built upon from the National Nasiratul Ahmadiyya USA Program developed initially by Saliha Bhatti, past National Nasirat Secretary. Since it’s inception, this workbook has gone through several stages of progress and improvement. Sabiha Syeda, Shanze Ahmad, Naureen Choudhry and Hanaa Malik made initial contributions by performing some of the research and developing an initial draft. Later on, Kaisra Osman Sheikh, National Nasirat Secretary (2004-2006) took on the challenging task of compiling the efforts into a consistent format, and included additional chapters, introductions and explanations for the existing chapters and added activities to suit the compatibility of the workbook. Sabiha Syeda incorporated the poems, while Farina Qureshi and Fowzia Shah (UK) and their team furnished some of the translations of poems. Reema Butt co-authored the chapter on the role of women in Islam. The illustrations were done by Nila Ahmad and Sumera Chaudhry. The front cover was designed by Kaisra Osman Sheikh with artwork provided by Anjum Ahmad Khan. Sadiqa Mian, Tahmeeda Ahmed, Shakeelah Ahmad, and Sidra Ahmad helped in the extensive review efforts. A tremendous effort of Lajna Imaillah USA has resulted in the printing of this workbook, Alhamdolillah. May Allah bless their humble efforts and give them the finest rewards in this world and in the hereafter, Ameen. Dr. Shanaz Butt President, Lajna Imaillah, U.S.A May 30, 2009 iv Conventions Used in this Workbook This workbook uses the following conventions: The word Hadhrat is used before the names of any prophets or other respected personalities. The phrase Alaih-e-Salam (peace be on him) is used with the names of the prophets of Allah. It is sometimes abbreviated and denoted as a superscript on the name. For example: Hadhrat IbrahimAS. The phrase Sallalahu Alaih-e-Wasallam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is used with the name of the Holy Prophet Mohammad. It is sometimes abbreviated and denoted as a superscript. For example: Hadhrat Mohammadsaw. The phrase Razi Allah Anho (may Allah be pleased with him) is used with the names of the respected male followers of the Holy Prophet Mohammadsaw and the Promised Messiahas who lived in the time of the the Holy Prophet Mohammadsaw or the Promised Messiahas. It is sometimes abbreviated and denoted as a superscript on the name. For example: Hadhrat Hakeem Maulvi Nooruddinra. The phrase Razi Allah Anha (may Allah be pleased with her) is used with the names of the respected female followers of the Holy Prophet Mohammadsaw and the Promised Messiahas who lived in the time of the the Holy Prophet Mohammadsaw or the Promised Messiahas. It is sometimes abbreviated and denoted as a superscript on the name. For example: Hadhrat Khadijara. The phrase Rahmatullah Alaih (may Allah have mercy on him) is used with the names of other respected personalities who have passed away and did not live in the time of the Holy Prophet Mohammadsaw or the Promised Messiahas. It is sometimes abbreviated and denoted as a superscript on the name. For example: Hadhrat Mirza Nasir Ahmadra. The phrase Ayyadahu Allahu-Ta’aalaa bi-nasri-hil- azeez (May Allah strengthen his hands) is used with the title of the present Khalifatul Masih. For example: Hadhrat aba Mirza Masroor Ahmad v The Development of Sects in Islam ISLAM Hadhrat Muhammadsaw Khulafa-e-Rashideen Hadhrat Hadhrat Hadhrat Hadhrat ra ra ra ra Abu Bakr Umar Uthman Ali SUNNI ISLAM SHIA ISLAM Various Sunni Various Shia Sects Sects AHMADIYYAT Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas (The Promised Messiah) Khilafat-e-Ahmadiyya Hadhrat Hadhrat Mirza Hadhrat Mirza Bashiruddin Hadhrat Mirza Hadhrat Mirza Hakeem Maulvi ra ra Masroor ra Mahmood Nasir Ahmad Tahir Ahmad aba Nooruddin ra Ahmad Ahmad vi C H A P T E R 1 The Holy Qur’an The Holy Qur’an and its Etiquettes (Sheikh Abdul Hadi, Basics of Religious Knowledge, Fourth Edition) What is the Qur’an? The Holy Qur’an is the record of the verbal revelations in Arabic from God Almighty to the Holy Prophet Muhammadsaw, over a period of about 22 years and 5 months (610 – 632 A.D.). The word Qur’an means ‘that which is often read or recited.’ Compilations of the Holy Qur’an The Divine revelations were committed to memory and also written down by scribes appointed by the Holy Prophetsaw. Hesaw himself indicated the arrangement of verses and chapters in the Holy Qur’an as we find it today. However, the compilation of the Holy Qur’an into one written book was undertaken after his death by Hadhrat Uthmanra. Chapters and verses of the Holy Qur’an The Holy Qur’an is divided into 114 Surahs or chapters. This division is based upon their subject matter and has the authority of the Holy Prophetsaw. Each Surah has a name given to it and is further divided into Ayat or verses. However, the division of the Qur’an into thirty Siparahs or parts is arbitrary. Two numbers separated by a colon generally represent a reference to a particular verse of the Qur’an. For example, the reference (29:49) means the 49th verse of the 29th chapter. Safeguarding of the Holy Qur’an A very distinctive feature of the Holy Qur’an is that it contains a Divine guarantee for its perpetual preservation. “We sent down this book and verily We shall safeguard it” (15:10). As a result of this guarantee, the text of the Holy Qur’an has remained unchanged over the past 1400 years. Etiquettes of the Holy Qur’an Recite the following prayer (ta’awwuz) before every recitation session: The Holy Qur’an 2 Transliteration: “Aoozoo-billahi-min-ashaitanir-rajeem” Translation: I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected. Always recite the following before beginning any recitation even if it is from the middle of the chapter: Transliteration: “Bismillah-hir-Rahmaanir Raheem” Translation: In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. • Cleanse yourself physically and, preferably, perform wudhu before each recitation • Be pure in your hearts and sincere in your beliefs during recitation to gain the most blessings from it • Read the Holy Qur’an at any convenient time, however, the best time is at dawn after the Fajr Prayers • When the Qur’an is being recited, listen to it and remain silent • Pay complete attention to the Qur’an so that you can understand it better • During recitation of the Holy Qur’an, when you come across a verse that indicates Sajdah recite the following prayer: (Transliteration): Sajada-laka-roohi-wa-janani Translation: “Oh Allah, my spirit, my body and my heart prostrate before You” Some More Facts about the Holy Qur’an • The First Qur’anic revelation was Surah Al-‘Alaq, verses 2 – 5 • The Last Qur’anic revelation was Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 282, or Surah Al- Maa’idah, verse 4 • The total number of letters in the Holy Qur’an is 323,760 • The total number of words in the Holy Qur’an is 86,430 • The number of Ruku’ in the Holy Qur’an is 540 • The number of places of Sajdah-Tilawat (prostration during recitation) is 14 (Agreed upon) The Holy Qur’an 3 The Holy Qur’an is the ultimate source of guidance for all Muslims, and understanding the Divine nature and message of the Holy Qur’an is very important. In this chapter we will study the meaning of some Surahs from the Holy Qur’an with translation and short commentary from the edited version by Malik Ghulam Farid. The Holy Qur’an 4 Surah Al-Baqarah Surah Facts • This is the longest Surah of the Holy Qur’an. • It was revealed in Medina in the first four years after the Hijra.

This final part will include further meetings held by Huzoor with various groups, as well as media interviews and various other activities. Tunisia delegation On Wednesday 17 August 2016, Huzoor’s meetings with delegations of Ahmadis and non-Ahmadi guests from different countries continued. One group to meet Huzoor that morning was a delegation from Tunisia. At the very start of the meeting, the Tunisian delegation placed a fruit tree on Huzoor’s desk as a gift. Upon accepting the gift, Huzoor said: “Is your Jamaat also giving me the fruit of increasing numbers of pious Ahmadis?” In reply, the Tunisian group replied all together saying: “Insha’Allah” 2 Huzoor then said: “In our Jamaat we should seek the best fruits which are of piety and spirituality.” Thereafter, an Arab Ahmadi, who was attending the UK Jalsa for the very first time, became very emotional. He informed Huzoor that he had recently seen a dream in which he saw the Promised Messiah (as), who handed the Ahmadi a copy of his book Brahin- e-Ahmadiyya printed on green paper. He was then handed another book by the Fourth Khalifa (rh), which was about Islam, and printed on white paper. Thereafter, the Promised Messiah (as) told the Ahmadi to give these books to the Arabs.

  • HUZOOR's TOUR of GERMANY JUNE 2014 a Personal Account By
    HUZOOR’S TOUR OF GERMANY JUNE 2014 A Personal Account PART 2 By Abid Khan 1 Departure for Munich On 9th June 2014, Huzoor and his Qafila departed from the Baitus Sabuh Mosque in Frankfurt at 10.15am. We were travelling to Neufahrn a small town, known as a municipality, lying in the suburbs of Germany’s famous city of Munich. Huzoor was travelling to inaugurate the Al-Mahdi Mosque. Apart from Berlin, Munich is considered to be Germany’s most famous city internationally. It is home to the famous football team ‘Bayern Munich’ and also home to the renowned car maker BMW. The drive from Frankfurt took nearly 3 and a half hours and as we approached Neufahrn the Qafila cars were escorted by 2 police cars. One of the police cars was a ‘special forces’ car which travelled at the rear of the Qafila, whilst the other police car acted as the lead car. Apart from these 2 cars there were other police cars that had completely blocked traffic on certain roads so that Huzoor’s car could travel directly without any delay. As I saw this I felt a great deal of gratitude to the German authorities for welcoming Huzoor in such a positive way. 2 Arrival in Munich We arrived at the Al­Mahdi Mosque at 1.35pm where Huzoor was greeted by a local dignitary. The dignitary spoke very passionately as he welcomed Huzoor and said that he held a very deep respect for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Huzoor thanked him for his courtesy and kindness.

  • The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: a Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran
    The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: A Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran by Samad Josef Alavi A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Shahwali Ahmadi, Chair Professor Muhammad Siddiq Professor Robert Kaufman Fall 2013 Abstract The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: A Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran by Samad Josef Alavi Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Shahwali Ahmadi, Chair Modern Persian literary histories generally characterize the decades leading up to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 as a single episode of accumulating political anxieties in Persian poetics, as in other areas of cultural production. According to the dominant literary-historical narrative, calls for “committed poetry” (she‘r-e mota‘ahhed) grew louder over the course of the radical 1970s, crescendoed with the monarch’s ouster, and then faded shortly thereafter as the consolidation of the Islamic Republic shattered any hopes among the once-influential Iranian Left for a secular, socio-economically equitable political order. Such a narrative has proven useful for locating general trends in poetic discourses of the last five decades, but it does not account for the complex and often divergent ways in which poets and critics have reconciled their political and aesthetic commitments. This dissertation begins with the historical assumption that in Iran a question of how poetry must serve society and vice versa did in fact acquire a heightened sense of urgency sometime during the ideologically-charged years surrounding the revolution.
