Lesson Content/Board Summary

Quranic Recitation: Suratul Tariq, Suratul Buruj And Suratul Inshiqaq

Importance of Correct Qur’an Recitation (Tajwid)

Correct recitation of the Qur’an, known as Tajwid, is very important. It involves pronouncing each letter and word correctly, observing the rules of elongation, pauses, and nasalisation. Reciting with Tajwid ensures the meaning of the verses is not distorted and earns greater reward from Allah.

Suratul Tariq (The Night-Comer)

Suratul Tariq is the 86th chapter of the Qur’an, consisting of 17 verses. It discusses the stars that appear at night and the creation of man from a fluid, reminding us of Allah’s power to resurrect.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌۭ
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍۢ دَافِقٍۢ
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌۭ
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍۢ وَلَا نَاصِرٍۢ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌۭ فَصْلٌۭ
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا

Suratul Buruj (The Constellations)

Suratul Buruj is the 85th chapter of the Qur’an, consisting of 22 verses. It speaks about the people of the Ditch and their persecution of believers, reminding us of Allah’s power to punish wrongdoers and reward the steadfast.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ
وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ
وَشَاهِدٍۢ وَمَشْهُودٍۢ
قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ
ٱلنَّارِ ذَاتِ ٱلْوَقُودِ
إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌۭ
وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌۭ
وَمَا نَقَمُواْ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤْمِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَمِيدِ
ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ شَهِيدٌ
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَتَنُواْ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُواْ فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ ٱلْحَرِيقِ
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتٌۭ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ
إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ يُبْدِئُ وَيُعِيدُ
وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلْوَدُودُ
ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْمَجِيدُ
فَعَّالٌۭ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْجُنُودِ
فِرْعَوْنَ وَثَمُودَ
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِى تَكْذِيبٍۢ
وَٱللَّهُ مِن وَرَآئِهِم مُّحِيطٌۢ
بَلْ هُوَ قُرْءَانٌۭ مَّجِيدٌۭ
فِى لَوْحٍۢ مَّحْفُوظٍۭ

Suratul Inshiqaq (The Sundering)

Suratul Inshiqaq is the 84th chapter of the Qur’an, consisting of 25 verses. It describes the events of the Day of Judgment, when the sky will split open and the earth will be flattened, and how people will be judged according to their deeds.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًۭا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًۭا يَسِيرًۭا
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُواْ ثُبُورًۭا
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًۭا
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍۢ
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ

Teacher Guide for Using This Lesson Plan

Before the lesson, ensure you have copies of the Glorious Qur’an, audio recitation equipment, and large, clear Qur’anic text charts for Suratul Tariq, Suratul Buruj, and Suratul Inshiqaq. Begin by engaging students on the importance of the Qur’an to set the context. Demonstrate correct recitation of each Surah, verse by verse, using the audio recitation as a model if available. Guide students through repeated recitation, paying close attention to their pronunciation and correcting errors patiently. Encourage active participation from all students. During the note-taking stage (Step 8), ensure students accurately copy the Arabic text and key points from the board. Check for understanding throughout the lesson, especially during the evaluation, by having students recite portions of the Surahs. For weaker learners, provide extra listening and repetition practice. For advanced learners, encourage memorisation and deeper reflection on the themes of the Surahs. Maintain a calm and focused classroom environment conducive to Qur’anic learning.
