LESSON 1: THE AHLUL BAYT:
We are known as Shia Ithna-Asheri Muslims. Shia means follower.
Ithna-Asher means 12 (for the 12 Aimmah).
Therefore by saying we are Shia Ithna-Asheri Muslims we are

telling everyone that we follow the Holy Prophet and the 12Aimmah
(the Ahlul Bayt).
We are also known as Ja’fari because our 6th Imam, Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq
(A), taught us most of the rules that we follow.
Although the basic belief of all Muslims is the same, there are 72 different
groups in Islam. The rules of religion are slightly different in each group.
Most of the groups have died away, but there are still two major groups left:
- The Sunni they believe in the Holy Prophet but not in the 12 Aimmah.
- The Shia follows the Holy Prophet and the 12 Aimmah.
HADITH-E-SAFINAH: AHLUL BAYT ARE LIKE PROPHET NUH’S ARK
Hadith-e-Safinah is when our Holy Prophet Muhammad (S) compared his

Ahlul Bayt (A) as Prophet Nuh’s ark.
Whoever loves and follows them will be saved and whoever goes against their
purity will drown.
While holding the door of Holy Ka’aba, Abu Dhar told that he had heard
Prophet Muhammad (S) say, "My family among you is like Noah's ark. He
who sails in it will be safe, but he who holds back from it will be
drowned."

LESSON 3: BIBI KHADIJA (A):
Bibi Khadija (A) was the first wife of Prophet Muhammad (S), and the mother
of Bibi Fatimah (A).
Her father was a wealthy trader.
When he died, Bibi Khadija (A) continued

his business. Soon, she was the richest
trader in Makka.
Prophet Muhammad (S) worked for Bibi Khadija (A), but she was impressed
with him and soon they were married.
They soon had two sons, Qasim and Abdullah. But, both boys died while still
very young. This made the Holy Prophet very sad, and when his cousin Imam
Ali (A) was born, he brought him up in his house as his own son.
The Holy Prophet (S) and Bibi Khadija (A)

then had a daughter, Bibi Fatimah (A).
Prophet Muhammad (S) used to spend a lot

of time in a cave on Mount Hira near
Makka. There, he would think about Allah
and wonder at His creations.
Sometimes he would stay on Hira for many days

at a time.
Bibi Khadija (A) would regularly visit him,

bringing food and water and making sure he was comfortable.
When Prophet Muhammad (S) was finally commanded by Allah

to begin teaching Islam, Bibi Khadija (A) was the first woman to
accept his message and become a Muslim. She gave all her
money to help spread Islam.
Bibi Khadija (A) was married to the Holy Prophet (S) for many years before
she died. She is buried in Makka.
The Prophet’s uncle, Abu Talib also died in this year that has been named the
“Year of Grief” or “Aamul Huzn” in Arabic.
While Bibi Khadija (A) was alive, the Holy Prophet (S) did not marry another
woman, and later said that she was the best of his wives.

He also said that she was one of the 4 perfect women who had ever
lived. The other three are:
- Bibi Asiya (wife of Firaun),

- Bibi Maryam (mother of Prophet Isa), and
- Bibi Fatimah (A).

THE HOUSE OF BIBI KHADIJA (A): WAS ALWAYS OPEN TO HELP.....
Refugees Orphans
Poor
Homeless
Oppressed
The House of Generosit y and Kindness
A famous writer described Bibi Khadija's house as follows:

Every orphan who didn't have anyone to depend on came to this house
Every father who couldn't get food for his children came to this house
Every woman who was homeless, came to this house
Everybody who suffered and became shelter less came to this house
All of them knew the way to Bibi Khadija's (A) house and went there.
They took refuge in her kindness and wealth.
The sore hearts of those people were treated with her favour and grace.

LESSON 4: BIBI FATIMAH (A):
Once, when Imam Hasan (A) and Imam Husain (A) were children they
both fell ill. Their parents, Imam Ali (A) and Bibi Fatimah (A), made a
Nadhr that they would fast three days if their children became well.
Nadhr is a promise that you make to Allah to do something extra for

His pleasure if your wish comes true.
Both Imam children recovered from their illness very soon. Their parents
decided to fast the next day.
The young Imams (A) also decided to fast, as well as their

maid Bibi Fizza.
On the first day of the fasting, Bibi Fatimah (A) prepared

some bread to break their fast with.
In the evening, they all prayed then sat down to

break their fast.
Just as they were about to eat their bread, a poor

man knocked at the door and asked for something
to eat.
They all gave their bread to the beggar, and

broke their fast with water only.
The next day, they fasted for a second time. Again, Bibi Fatimah (A) made
bread for their Iftar.
This time, as they were about to break

their fast, an orphan came to their door
asking for food.
Although Bibi Fatimah (A) and her family

had not eaten for two days, they all happily
gave their loaf of bread to the orphan and
again slept without any food.

On the third day of their fasting, as they sat down
to break their fast, a prisoner knocked at the door
asking for food.
Without hesitating, they again gave away their bread.
Allah revealed Sura Ad-Dahr in the Holy Qur'an, in praise of the sacrifice
made by this holy family.
Moral: Always think of others before yourself. It is not how much

you give but the intention with which you give.

BIBI FATIMA (A): SPECIAL PRAYERS BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP:
Bibi Fatimah Zahra (A) is known to have recounted this interesting true story:
She said:
“One day, as I was preparing myself to sleep, suddenly I saw my father,

Prophet Muhammad (S) entering our room. He said: "My beloved daughter,
Fatimah Zahra! Never sleep at night, unless you have accomplished
things!"
1st: You have to read entire Noble Qur'an from the beginning to end.
2nd: You have to ask for the great Prophets of Allah to intercede in your
favour after your death.
3rd: You should remember that, you have to make all the faithful believers
happy and pleased with you.
4th: Finally, you have to go to Makkah, and accomplish the Pilgrimage of

Hajj
Bibi Fatimah Zahra (A) said: "After having said that, my father, Prophet
Muhammad (S) began to perform his prayer and I had to wait until he finished
his prayer to ask more information from him."
I said most confused: "O Messenger of Allah! You have ordered me to do

four things before sleep. But beloved father, I cannot see myself
executing such things! I am unable to accomplish them at this late
hour!"
Prophet Muhammad (S) smiled graciously and answered:
1st: "If you recite Suratul Ikhlas,3 times, it is as though you have read the
entire Noble Qur'an from the beginning to end.
2nd: If you say greetings and salutations to me and to the other great
Prophets, you make us intercede in your favour.
3rd: If you pray for the faithful believers, you have made them happy and
content.
4th: And at last, if you say (dhikr) "Subhanallahi, Wal

hamdulillaahi, Wala ilaaha illallaahu, Wallaahu
Akbar" it is as though you have accomplished
the Pilgrimage of Hajj”

LESSON 5: THE FIVE EIDS – INTRODUCTION:
Eid means an event which happens again and again. In Islam, we

celebrate Eid as the happy festival which occurs every year.
In Sura Al Maidah, Prophet Isa asked Allah for food from Heaven because his
followers wanted a miracle to increase their faith, and to always celebrate the
occasion with joy.
We are lucky that we have five types of Eids in a year:
1. Eid ul-Juma’
2. Eid ul-Haj
3. Eid ul-Fitr
4. Eid-e-Gadhir
5. Eid-e-Mubahila
WORKSHEET: THE FIVE EIDS – INTRODUCTION:

LESSON 6: EID-UL-JUMA’:
Juma’ means Friday, and for all Muslims it is a very religious day.
The Holy Prophet (S) has said that prayers and worship on Juma’ are
many times better than any other day.
In the Islamic calendar, the night comes before the day. So, Friday begins at
the time of Maghrib Salaat on Thursday.
There are certain A’amaal recommended for Juma’.
For the night of Juma’ (Thursday night):
Recite Sura Fatiha Recite Suratul

for those who have Yasiin & Dua

LESSON 7: EID-UL-HAJ – ALSO CALLED EID-UL-ADHA
Eid ul-Haj is also known as Eid ul-Adha (Eid of Sacrifice).
It takes place on the 10th of Dhulhijja, and marks the end of

Haj of Muslims to Makka.
This Eid honours the sacrifice of Prophet Ismail by his father, Prophet Ibrahim.
One day, Prophet Ibrahim dreamt that he was sacrificing his young son,
Prophet Ismail. This day is called Yawme Tarwiyah
which means, the Day of the First Dream. Allah’s
command
Prophet Ibrahim often received Allah's
commands in his dreams, but because he
was being asked to actually kill his son, he
wondered whether it was real.
He had the same dream the next day, and was now sure it was a
true command. So, the 9th of Zilhaj is known as Yawme Arafaat,
which means the Day of Knowledge
So, Prophet Ibrahim took his son into the desert.
On the way, Shaitan, disguised as an old man,

tried to convince Prophet Ibrahim that he was
making a terrible mistake in killing his son.
Three times Shaitan came, and

each time Prophet Ibrahim made
him go away by throwing seven
small stones at him.
When they reached Mina, Prophet Ibrahim laid his son on the
ground and took a knife.

Prophet Ismail saw how upset his father was, and asked him
to blindfold himself so that he would not have to see his son
die.
Prophet Ibrahim did as his son requested, and then cut the
throat of his son.
But when he removed the blindfold, he was surprised to see

that he had slaughtered a male sheep instead, and that his
son was standing safe beside him.
Allah was so pleased with Prophet Ibrahim that he has made this sacrifice of a
sheep wajib for all Muslims as the last stage of Haj.

A BEAUTIFUL STORY ABOUT EID-UL-HAJ OR EID-UL-ADHA:
THE BICYCLE STORY:
My father never liked anyone who was lazy or anyone who

wasted what they had so that they never had enough. But
for those who were really in need, his heart was as big as all
outdoors. It was from him that I (Mahdi) learned the greatest
joy in life comes from giving, not from receiving.
It was a cold winter day before Eidul Adha (Haj)

1425 A.H. in a village near Kashmir. I was fifteen
years old and feeling very sad because there just
had not been enough money to buy me the bicycle
that I had wanted for Eidul Adha.
I was still feeling sorry for myself, when my father came

back from outside and said, "Come on, Mahdi, dress up
well, it's cold out tonight." I was really upset then. Not only
was not I am getting the bicycle for Eid, but now my father
was dragging me out in the cold, and for no earthly reason
that I could see. We had already done all the chores, and I
could not think of anything else that needed doing,
especially not on a night like this.
But I knew he was not very patient, so I got up and put my boots back on and
got my cap and coat. My mum gave me a mysterious smile as I opened the
door to leave the house. Something was up, but I did not know what.
O No! I thought, more work because there in front of the house, the horses
were already hitched to the big sled. Whatever it was we were going to do
was not going to be a short, quick, little job. I could tell. We never hitched up
this sled unless we were going to carry a big load.
My father was already up on the seat, reins in hand. I

reluctantly climbed up beside him. The cold was
already biting at me. I was not happy. When I was on,
my father pulled the sled around the house and
stopped in front of the woodshed. He got off and I
followed. "I think we will put on the high sideboards," he
said. "Here, help me." The high sideboards! It had been
a bigger job than I wanted to do with just the low
sideboards on, but whatever it was we were going to do would be a lot bigger
with the high sideboards on.
After we had exchanged the sideboards, my father went into the woodshed
and came out with an armload of wood - What was he doing?
Finally I said something. "Dad," I asked, "what are you doing?"

"You been by the Widow Mrs. Mukhtar's house lately?" he asked.
The Widow Mrs. Mukhtar lived about two miles down the road. Her husband
had died a year or so before and left her with three children, the oldest being
eight. Sure, I had been by, but so what?
"Yeah," I said, "Why?"
"I rode by just today," he said. "Little Jaffer was out digging around in the
woodpile trying to find a few chips. They are out of wood, Mahdi."
That was all he said and then he

turned and went back into the
woodshed for another armload of
wood. I followed him. We loaded the
sled so high that I began to wonder if
the horses would be able to pull it.
Finally, we stopped and then he went
to the house.
When he returned he was carrying a sack of flour over his right shoulder and
a smaller sack of something in his left hand. "What's in the little sack?" I
asked. "Shoes. They're out of shoes. Little Jaffer just had gunny sacks
wrapped around his feet when he was out in the woodpile this morning. I got
the children some sweets too. It just would not be Eidul Adha (Haj) without
Mithai."
We rode the two miles to Widow Mukhtar's home, pretty much in silence. I
tried to think through what my father was doing. We did not have much our
selves. Of course, we did have a big woodpile, though most
of what was left now was still in the form of logs that I
would have to saw into blocks and split before we could
use it. We also had meat and flour, so we could spare that,
but I knew we did not have any money, so why was he
buying them shoes and sweets?
Really, why was he doing any of this? Mrs. Mukhtar had closer neighbours
than us; it should not have been our concern.
We reached the Mukhtar's house and unloaded the wood as quietly as

possible, and then we took the sweets, flour and shoes to the door. We
knocked. The door opened a crack and a timid voice said, "Who is it?"
"It is me Karim Khan, Ma'am, and my son, Mahdi. Could we come in for a
bit?"
Mrs. Mukhtar opened the door and let us in. She had a blanket wrapped
around her shoulders. The children were wrapped in another and were sitting
in front of the fireplace by a very small fire that hardly gave off any heat at all.
Mrs. Mukhtar fumbled with a match and finally lit the lamp.

"We brought you a few things, Ma'am," my father said and set
down the sack of flour. I put the sweet on the table. Then he
handed her the sack that had the shoes in it.
She opened it hesitantly and took the shoes out

one pair at a time. There was a pair for her and
one for each of the children - strong shoes, the
best, shoes that would last.
I watched her carefully. Tears filled her eyes and started

running down her cheeks. She looked up at my father like
she wanted to say something, but it would not come out.
"We brought a load of wood too, Ma'am," he said.
He turned to me and said, "Mahdi, go bring in enough to last a while. Let's get
that fire up to size and heat this place up." I wasn't the same person when I
went back out to bring in the wood. I had a big lump in my throat and as much
as I hate to admit it, there were tears in my eyes too.
In my mind I kept seeing those three kids huddled around the fireplace and
their mother standing there with tears running down her cheeks with so much
gratitude in her heart that she could not speak.
My heart swelled within me and a joy that I had never known before, filled my
soul. I had given at Eid many times before, but never when it had made so
much difference. I could see we were literally saving the lives of these people.
I soon had the fire blazing and everyone's spirits
soared. The kids started giggling when my father
handed them each a piece of sweet and Mrs.
Mukhtar looked on with a smile that probably had
not crossed her face for a long time. She finally
turned to us. "May Allah bless you," she said. "I
know Allah has sent you. The children and I have
been praying that He would send some help to spare us."
In spite of myself, the lump returned to my throat and the tears welled up in
my eyes again. I had never thought of my father in those exact terms before,
but after Mrs. Mukhtar mentioned it I could see that it was probably true. I was
sure that a better man than my father had never walked the earth.
I started remembering all the times he had gone out of his way for my Mum
and me, and many others. The list seemed endless as I thought on it.
My father insisted that everyone try on the shoes before we left. I was amazed
when they all fit and I wondered how he had known what sizes to get.

Tears were running down Widow Mrs. Mukhtar's face
again when we stood up to leave. My father took each of
the kids in his big arms and gave them a hug. They clung
to him and did not want us to go. I could see that they
missed their father, and I was glad that I still had mine.
At the door he turned to Mrs. Mukhtar and said, "My wife wanted me to invite
you and the children for Eidul Adha (Haj) dinner tomorrow. The chicken will be
more than the three of us can eat, we will be by to get you about five. It will be
nice to have some little ones around again.
Mrs. Mukhtar nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Karim Khan. I do not
have to say, "'May Allah Bless you,' I know for certain that He will." Out on the
sled I felt warmth that came from deep within and I did not even notice the
cold. When we had gone a ways, my father turned to me and said, "Mahdi, I
want you to know something.
Your Mum and I have been tucking a little money away here and there all year
so we could buy that bicycle for you, but we did not have quite enough. Then
yesterday a man who owed me a little money from years back came by to
make things square.
Your Mum and I were real excited, thinking that now we could get you that
bicycle, and I started into town this morning to do just that. But on the way I
saw little Jaffer out scratching in the woodpile, so I spent the money for shoes
and a little sweet for those children. I hope you understand."
I understood, and my eyes became wet with tears again. I understood very
well, and I was so glad he had done it. Now the bicycle seemed very low on
my list of importance. My father had given me a lot more. He had given me
the look on Widow Mrs. Mukhtar's face and the glowing smiles of her three
children.
For the rest of my life, Whenever, I saw any of the Mukhtar's, or split a block
of wood, I remembered riding home beside my father that night. He had given
me much more than a bicycle that night; he had given me the best Eidul Adha
of my life.
Moral:
Eid is a time for sharing. Sometimes we get more happiness from

giving than receiving. We must thank Allah for all that we have and
always try and help those who do not have all that we do.

LESSON 8: EID-UL-FITR:
Eid ul-Fitr is the first day after the Holy month of Ramadhan. It is on the 1st of
Shawwaal.
Fitr means to break, and it marks the end of the fasting period.
It is a happy occasion because:
During Mahe Ramadhan we are in

the habit of committing few or no sins
Through our prayers in Mahe

Ramadhan, Allah may have
forgiven our sins
By fasting during the month of

Ramadhan, we have shown our
Obedience to Allah.
Allah has made a Wajib charity of Zakat ul-Fitr for every family at the end of
Ramadhan. This charity helps poor people who do not have the money to
feed themselves.

WORKSHEET 4.8: EID UL-FITR:
Write in each organ what you should NOT do with it, especially while
fasting.

A STORY ABOUT EID-UL-FITR: MY BROTHER:
Shuaib received a car from his brother as a

Ramadhan Eid present. On Eidul Fitr when
Shuaib came out of his office, a poor little boy was
walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is
this your car, Uncle?" he asked. Shuaib nodded.
"My brother gave it to me for Ramadhan Eid." The boy was surprised.
"You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you
anything? Boy, I wish..." He hesitated. Of course Shuaib knew what
he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother
like that. But what the boy said really shocked Shuaib. "I wish," the
boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Shuaib looked at
the boy and then he asked, "Would you like to take a ride in my
car?" "Oh yes, I would love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining and said, "Uncle,
would you mind driving in front of my house?" Shuaib smiled a little. He
thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that
he could ride home in a big automobile.
But Shuaib was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two
steps are?" the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little
while Shuaib heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast.
He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the
bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to
the car.
"There he is, uncle, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for
Ramadhan Eid and it did not cost him a penny. And some day I'm gonna give
you one just like it...then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the
Shop windows that I have been trying to tell you about."
Shuaib got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed
older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable
holiday ride. That Eidul Fitr, Shuaib learned what Prophet Muhammad (S)
meant when he had said: "love for your brother what you love for
yourself".

LESSON 9: EID-E-GHADEER:
On the 18th of Zilhaj , Allah commanded Prophet Muhammad (S) in the

Qur’an to stop at a place called Ghadeer-e-Khum (the pond of Khum).
A friend of the Prophet called all the people to

gather around.
The Holy Prophet (S) led the Salaat.
Then, he stood so that all the people could see

him. He told everyone that when he died, he
would leave behind two special things:
the Book of Allah The Ahlul

(the Qur’an) Bayt (his
BIBI FATIMAH (A)

& 12 IMAMS (A)
The Prophet (S) explained that if the people follow BOTH the Qur’an AND the
Ahlul Bayt, Allah will always be happy with them.
But if the people follow only the Qur’an, and don’t listen to the Ahlul Bayt, then
Allah will NOT be happy with them.
Then Prophet Muhammad (S)

held up Imam Ali (A) hand,
showing him to all the people,
and said whoever considered
the Prophet (S) their leader
must also consider Imam Ali
(A) their leader.

Then, he prayed to Allah to love those people who love Imam Ali (A), and hate
those who do not love him.
Allah then said that the religion of Islam had been completed that day.
This day is known as Eid-e-Ghadeer.
WORKSHEET: EID-E-GHADEER:

It means:
Write what 2 things the Holy Prophet (S) said he was leaving behind.

LESSON 10: EID-E-MUBAHILA:
The Holy Prophet (S) had sent letters to many different

countries inviting them to Islam. One letter was sent to the
Christians of Najran.
The Christians wanted to meet the Holy Prophet

(S)
When they arrived in Madina, the Holy Prophet (S) was sad to see
them dressed in silk and gold, and he ignored them.
Imam Ali (A) asked them to change into simple clothes, and the
Holy Prophet (S) was then happy to see them.
They talked, but the Christians would not listen to the

Prophet (S).
They believed in Prophet Isa as the son of God, because he had no father.
Allah sent down a verse from Sura Aali Imran, saying that if they called
Prophet Isa the son of God (as he has no father), then they should also call
Prophet Adam the same, because he was born without a father or mother.
The Christians did not have an answer to this, but they still
argued because they did not want to say they were wrong.
Allah ordered the Holy Prophet (S) to do "Mubahila" with the

Christians.
Mubahila means to curse one another.
The next day, on the 24th of Zilhaj, the Holy Prophet (S)
came out for Mubahila with Imam Hasan (A), Imam Husain (A), Bibi Fatimah
(A) and Imam Ali (A).
The Christians, on seeing the shining faces of the Panjatan began to tremble
and shake.
They backed away and realised that they had failed.

LESSON 11: NAMES OF ISLAMIC MONTHS:
In Islam we follow the Lunar (moon) calendar

as opposed to the Solar (sun) calendar.
To follow the Lunar calendar, we use the shape of the moon to work out which
day of the month it is.
The Islamic month has 29 or 30 days, while the calendar month has 30 or 31
days.
The Islamic months are:

MUHARRAM
SAFAR
RABIUL AWWAL
RABIUL AKHAR
JAMAAD UL AWWAL
JAMAAD UL AKHAR
RAJAB
SHABAN
RAMADHAN
SHAWWAAL
DHULQA'ADA

WORKSHEET: NAMES OF ISLAMIC MONTHS:
Make your own Islamic calendar.
Your Teacher will give you a sheet with the names written on it
Cut along the dotted line, then stick it on some cardboard.
Then slide the card with the slits cut through the months card.

MOON PROJECT
As we every Islamic month begins and ends with the birth of the new moon.
1. Let each group of children (4-6 children in a group), work together to

create a night sky on a black or dark blue construction paper. If they
can draw stars by themselves, let them add stars, or let them stick on
stars (the self-sticking kind) or a combination of both. They can use
white, yellow, gold, or silver crayons, pencils, or markers.
2. Create a moon for every group or let them do it, if they can cut a circle
in a white construction paper. You may also use a black construction
paper then colour it white or silver to represent a
full moon.
3. slice each moon into 6 pieces, they will be crescent shapes. You may
cut the moon into two halves first, then each half into three pieces.
Number these pieces on the back to remember which piece comes
next. Remember that each half moon takes seven days to develop. It
takes two weeks to develop into a full moon. Each piece will represent
a stage of the moon.
4. As you go through the month, ask the children to observe the moon
every night from the first day. When they come to the class ask them to
use glue or better to use Velcro, to stick the first piece (crescent) on the
night sky background. Every Sunday as they see the moon getting
bigger, you can let them add the next piece. Keep doing this to the end
of the month. Remember the second half of the month you will have to
remove pieces, every Sunday, until there is no moon at the end of the
month
"phases of the moon art"
crescent, half, gibbous, full, gibbous, half, crescent

LESSON 12: PROPHET MUSA 1:
Prophet Musa grew

up in the palace of
Firaun:
As the years passed,

Prophet Musa grew up
strong and healthy. He then MADYAN
EGYPT
left Egypt and went to
Madyan where he married
Safura daughter of Prophet
Shuaib
After staying in Madyan for a EGYPT

while, he left to return to
Egypt.
On their way to Egypt in the severe winter night Prophet Musa and his wife
who had lost their way, saw a fire in the distance.
Prophet Musa told his wife to stay

where she was and he went to the
fire, thinking he would bring some of it
back.
When he reached the fire, he saw

that the flames were coming from a
green tree, but there was no one
there.
While Prophet Musa looked around in surprise, he suddenly heard a voice

saying, "O Musa, I am your Lord!"
The voice then asked him

to throw his staff onto the
ground. At once it
changed into a serpent,
scaring him. He was then
commanded to lift the
snake without fear and as
he did so, it changed
back into a stick.

Next he was told to put his hand
under his armpit. When he drew it
out again, his hand glowed with a
bright light, like the sun.
The Divine voice said to him, "O Musa! These are the two great Signs of
your Lord. Go back to Fir'aun and his people and invite them towards
your Lord!"
Prophet Musa told Fir'aun that he

was a Messenger of Allah and
that he was speaking the truth. He
threw his staff on the ground and
it changed into a snake.
The miracle frightened Fir'aun and he turned to his ministers for advice. They
told him that Prophet Musa was just a good magician and that their own
magicians could easily perform such tricks.
Fir'aun called all the great magicians to his court. When they were told what
had to be done, they were not worried. They threw pieces of rope on the
ground and these cords began to wriggle like snakes.
But when Prophet Musa (A) cast his staff down his serpent ate all the pieces
of rope. The magicians immediately realised that this was no magic but a
miracle, and threw themselves in prostration saying, "We believe in the faith
of Musa".
This made Fir'aun very angry and he warned them that if they did not take
back their words, they would be killed. They did not change their minds and
so he killed them.
WORKSHEET: PROPHET MUSA 1:
Draw below the two miracles that Allah gave to Prophet Musa (A):

LESSON 4.13: PROPHET MUSA 2:
LESSON 13: PROPHET MUSA 2:
Allah told Prophet Musa to warn Fir'aun that He would punish him and his
people if they continued in their ways; but Fir'aun was too proud to listen to
the warning.
Soon lots of locusts ate away

their crops. The River Nile got
flooded and the people suffered
with lice and illnesses.
When all of this happened the

people rushed to Prophet Musa
asking him to pray for their relief
and promised to follow his
religion. But when they were
cured and the situation
improved, they returned to their
idol worship.
Prophet Musa collected the people of Bani Israa'il and left for Palestine.
Fir'aun learnt of their escape and followed them with a huge army.
When the Bani Israa'il reached the

Red Sea they saw Fir'aun
approaching and were sure they
were going to be killed. However,
Prophet Musa struck the waters of
the sea with his staff and the
waters parted, making a dry path.
The people rushed through and
crossed safely.
When Fir'aun saw the path he

entered the sea at the head of
his army. But while he was in
the middle of the sea the waters
suddenly closed around him and
his men.

In the final moments of his life Fir'aun realised the Power and
Greatness of Allah, but it was too late. Fir'aun and his
people drowned under the deep sea. This is how Allah
rescued the Bani Israa'il from Fir'aun.
Prophet Musa had promised the Bani Israa'il that once they left Egypt he
would bring to them a Divine Book for their guidance.
Prophet Musa prayed to Allah

for that Book. Allah told him to
come to Mount Sinai and pass
thirty nights there.
When Prophet Musa returned

to his people from Mount Sinai,
he had with him the Tawrat,
with the Divine revelations
written on tablets of stone.
However, while he was away, a man

called Samiri made a golden calf by
collecting gold from the people.
Then he had sprinkled some dust into its

mouth, which he had collected from under
the feet of Angel Jibraeel on the day that
Fir'aun
. had drowned. So, the calf made a
sound and the people began to worship it.
The made Prophet Musa very angry, and

he asked them if they too wanted to
displease Allah as Fir'aun had done.
The people blamed Samiri for misguiding

them and were sorry for their actions.
Prophet Musa then got the golden calf
melted and threw every trace of it in the
sea

A STORY ABOUT PROPHET MUSA:
One day Prophet Musa was passing through a unfruitful hill.

He noticed a pious person busy in prayer sitting in a cave of
the hill. Prophet Musa felt the urge to meet and talk to the
pious person.
Prophet Musa went near and greeted him. The pious

person asked without much interest, "Who are you?"
Prophet Musa said, "I am Musa!"
The pious person asked, "Are you the Prophet Musa?”
Prophet Musa said, "Yes!"
The pious person said, "Then ask Allah to Grant my wish!"
Prophet Musa asked, "What is it that you want?"
The pious person said, "Since the last one hundred years I
am sitting here praying to Allah. I don't do anything other
than the Prayer. Ask Allah, what He will give me for my
efforts?"
Prophet Musa said, "I shall find about it immediately." He

immediately climbed up the hill and called aloud, "O
Sustainer Allah! This person wants to know about the
reward for his prayers! Tell me, what shall I inform him?"
He heard the sound, "O Musa! Tell him, we shall inform him about his
reward tomorrow."
Prophet Musa went to the pious person and gave the message to him.
The pious person said, "Its fine! Tomorrow is not much of a time!"
The pious person was in the habit of going to a nearby canal early every
morning for bathing and fetching some water for his use. Therefore, the next
morning too he started for the canal but he lost his way and reached
somewhere else. Because of the sun's heat he became very thirsty and tired.
He sat on a lonely boulder and started thinking about his death. At that time
he found another person coming from the other direction. He waved to the
person to come to him. When the person came closer, he asked him to help
him with some water.
The visiting person said, "Where is any water in this jungle? Whatever
little I have is only for me."

The pious person started crying. The other person said, "Fine! What will you
give me if I give you a glass of water?"
The pious person said, "I don't have anything. I have been busy in the
cave praying for the last 100 years."
The other person said, "If you agree to transfer to me the Rewards for
your prayers of 100 years, I shall give you a glass of water."
The pious person thought, if he lived, he could pray for a further period to get
the Reward from Allah. He said, "I am ready to transfer to you my reward
for the 100 years of my prayers.
The other person gave him a glass full of water and the pious person returned
to his cave.
In the morning Prophet Musa got a Revelation that the pious person
exchanged his 100 years' prayers to another person in exchange for a glass
of water. Ask the man to settle the value of the glasses of water that he
had been drinking during the last 100 years!
Therefore, Prophet Musa went to the cave and told to the person that he had
a message for him from Allah.
The pious person said, "O Prophet Musa! I have already sold my 100
years of prayers!"
Prophet Musa said, "Yes! I know. But Allah has said that when the value
of 100 years of prayer is one glass of water, then you must settle the
value of the water you had been drinking over the last hundred years."
When the pious person heard this, he was shocked and shouted, "O Prophet
Musa! Please ask to Allah to forgive my sins! Allah is The Most Kind and
The Most Merciful!"
Prophet Musa got the Revelation, "tell the pious person! Your prayer of
this moment pleased Allah more than your prayers of a hundred years
and Allah has given to you rewards for a years of prayers!"
"The sin that makes you sad and repentant is more liked by Allah than
the good deed which turns you big-headed "
Imam Ali (A)

LESSON 14: PROPHET ISA:
Prophet Isa’s mother = Bibi Maryam
He had no father.
When Prophet Isa was 30 years old, he got the order of Allah to start his
mission and the Divine Book, Injil, was revealed to him.
He too could perform miracles like:

- make a dead person alive again
- make a blind person see again
- curing illnesses
These miracles made the Jew believe in him and others became his enemies.
He chose 12 people from his followers and taught them from the Injil, so that
they could travel and teach others.
The people who hated him, tried to kill him.
They gave, Yahuda, one of his

followers, 30 pieces of silver to
tell them which house Prophet
Isa was in. They wanted to nail
him to a cross and kill him.
At this time, Allah raised Prophet Isa to the heavens to keep him safe.
In the meantime, Yahuda went to his house but found it empty. While he was
there, Allah changed his face to look like Prophet Isa’s.
When he came out of the house to tell the

enemies that the house was empty, they
grabbed him and took him away.
Although he told them that he wasn’t

Prophet Isa, they wouldn’t believe him and
he was crucified instead.
Today the Jews and Christians believe

that Prophet Isa died on the cross.
When our 12th Imam (A) re-appears, Prophet Isa will come down from
the heavens and pray behind him.
Prophet Muhammad (S)

PROPHET ISA: A POEM ABOUT PROPHET’S AND THEIR BOOKS:
Allah sent the Prophets to teach humans

That Allah is one without partners or sons
and from all evils we should keep away.
and only to Allah we should pray.
Of all the Prophets Adam was the first

and he had an enemy – ShaItan the cursed.
After Adam many more Prophets came
and the message they brought was the same.
Nuh, Ilyaas, Ibrahim, Is’haaq and Idris

All came with the message of peace.
Musa, Dawood, Isa, Yaqub and Yusuf
Were also sent with the very same stuff.
All Prophets came with a mission defined

To help humans become pious and kind.
Against bad and evil, they were a shield
And to some Prophets, books were revealed
For example to Isa, Allah sent the Injeel

and Tawrat to Musa Allah did reveal.
The Zabur was given to Prophet Dawud
and all these books, Allah had approved.
After all these Prophets the last one came

and to deliver the message was his only aim.
He was their leader and greatest of all
from amongst the Prophets he stood tall.
The word of Allah, which is the Qur’an,

was revealed to him - this good honest man.
Allah selected him and cleaned his heart
and from the rest of man he was set apart.
Just like Muhammad was the last and best;

The Qur’an is also ranked above the rest.
Every word is of Allah - never to be changed.
Free from error - Allah himself had arranged.
After Muhammad no more Prophets will appear

and the Qur’an is the last and that is clear.
Guidance from Allah to all of mankind
and to the reality of life it does remind
