As we are drawing closer to the Mubaarak month of Ramadhaan, let us commence with ta’leem of the Fazaail-e-Ramadhaan.
Daily take out a few minutes (3-4) minutes and read out a section from the Fazaail-e-Ramadhaan (Abridged Version).
This daily ta’leem will insha Allah become a means of preparing the minds of our young learners for this mubaarak month.
May Allah bless us in the months of Rajab and Sha’baan and take us to the month of Ramadhaan with aafiyat and ease. Aameen.

Alhamdulillah by the grace of Allah Ta’ala our Madrasahs are opening today. Once again children will be coming to Madrasah to learn the Qur-aan Shareef by us. All praise is due to Allah Ta’ala alone for this. May Allah accept our broken efforts.
10 guidelines for the first day of Madrasah
- Perform two rakaats of Salaatul Haajaat and make dua to Allah Ta’ala for assistance, guidance and acceptance.
- Get familiar with your classroom as well as the new children in your class.
- Write down the names of the pupils in the temporary register. [Attached]
- Give the children a small talk on the importance of coming to Madrasah everyday and how it will benefit them in this world and the next.
- Read out to them the guidelines for pupils. [This is found in the pupil’s diary].
- Give each child an enrolment form and ask him/her to have it filled in by his/her parents/guardians.
- Collect all pupils’ blue progress cards. Erase assessments in surahs, duas and Hadith.

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu
May Allah Ta’ala accept our feeble efforts in imparting the knowledge of Deen to the children of the Ummah.
Together with ta’leem it is important for us to also make the tarbiyat of our pupils. Tarbiyat refers to correcting them, guiding them and making their islaah.
In this regard the Ta’limi Board (KZN) has received many requests from teachers to prepare some topics discussing important aspects of tarbiyat.
Alhamdulillah by the grace of Allah Ta’ala the first edition has been prepared.
Topic: Speaking the truth and being honest.
It has been noticed that lies has become very common in Muslims. Truthfulness which was the hallmark of a Muslim has become very rare. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was known as As-Saadiq (The Truthful) Al-Ameen (The Honest).
Hence, let us try to the best of our ability to instill truthfulness and honesty in ourselves as well as the children in our classes.
This edition discusses some Ahaadith and important points on honesty which should be discussed with the children in our classes.
Insha Allah we hope in this way to pass on the wonderful teachings of Rasulullah (salallahu alayhi wasallam) to the Ummah and instill truthfulness and honesty in our own lives.
May Allah Ta’ala grant us all the taufeeq

Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah Ta’ala, we have entered the final term of our Madrasah year. May Allah Ta’ala accept our broken efforts and crown them with qabuliyat (acceptance).
Before commencing with Madrasah, let us try our best to plan out our work for the term so that we are ready for the final exams and can easily round up our work for the year. In English there is a saying that goes;
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
Please take note of the following;
