Suratul-Balad Activitie

Suratul Balad is all about hardship. Our birth and growth are hard, and the path to Jannah is hard. But, if we listen to what Allah tells us to do, then all the hardship will end in Jannah; we will live in ease forever!

For our Tafseer study, we used the Mini Tafseer Book Series

In Surah Balad we learn about the two paths. The Path of Jannah is full of trails and tests, and the Path to Jahannam is full of ease. There are five good deeds we can do to help us on the path to Jannah. My son painted the path and added the five good deeds using our label maker and toothpicks. 

1. Freeing the Slave

2. Feeding the poor/hungry/ and orphans

3. Being a Muslim

4. Being Patient

5. Being Kind

We also added some houses. Under each house is a question related to the surah 

Each surah in this series comes with a list of vocabulary words. We practiced the words through a matching game I made for my son. 

I wrote the Arabic on one side and the English on the opposite side. I cut out some long pieces of paper. My son connected the Arabic to the English. Making a path. 

That is all the activities we did for Surah Balad. We always memorize and read the tafseer book and then I added activities wherever possible.
