Surah Quraysh

Hi guys, I wanted to share with you some of the activities we did while studying Surah Quraysh. We read from Ad Duha Institue Mini Tafseer book. Using some objects we had around the house we talked about each verse. This surah talks about the blessings that Allah gave to Quraysh. 

1. He saved them from Abraha and his army.

2. He made them custodians of the Kaaba, making them respected among the other tribes. 

3. He united them as one nation

4. He protected them during their travels to Yemen and Syria. 

5. They did not suffer from hunger or thirst. They had an endless supply of Zam Zam water. 

6. The Prophet (saw) was from their tribe

Allah tells them to worship Him and Him alone at the end of the Surah. But they took all their blessings for granted and became an enemy of Islam. 

My son drew a map of Arabia and we talked about some of the dangers they could have faced during their trade expeditions. 

What lessons can we learn from this surah?

1. Remember all that we have is a blessing from Allah

2. To obey and be thankful for all that He has given us. 

We also learned the name of Allah Al Mu'izz (The One Who Gives Honor), and the du'a for leaving the house.
