"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to start an exciting journey into an important topic in Islam, which is Tawheed. Tawheed is the concept of monotheism, and it forms the foundation of our belief in one God. Let's take a few moments to think about why understanding Tawheed is significant in our lives as Muslims. Can anyone share why they think Tawheed is important?"
(Allow a few students to share their thoughts)
"Great insights! Understanding Tawheed helps us to develop a strong relationship with Allah and shapes how we see the world around us."
"Now, let's explore the three types of Tawheed. The first type is Tawheed al-Rububiyyah, which means the Oneness of Lordship. This refers to the belief that Allah is the sole creator and sustainer of the universe. Can anyone give an example of how we see this in our daily lives?"
(Encourage students to respond)
"Excellent points! Now, the second type is Tawheed al-Uluhiyyah, which means the Oneness of Worship. This means that we must worship Allah alone and direct all our acts of worship to Him. Who can think of an act of worship that demonstrates this?"
(Again, allow for student responses)
"Exactly! Finally, we have Tawheed al-Asma wa al-Sifat, which refers to the Oneness of Names and Attributes. This emphasizes that Allah has unique names and attributes, and we must understand and respect them. What comes to your mind when you think of one of Allah's attributes?"
(Discuss their responses)
"Wonderful! Each type of Tawheed plays a crucial role in our lives and in understanding our faith."
"Now, I have a fun activity for us! I’m going to hand out printable cards to each of you. On these cards, I want you to write down key points that you remember about each of the three types of Tawheed we just discussed. Try to be creative and include examples where you can. You have five minutes to complete this task. Ready? Let’s go!"
(Distribute the cards and circulate the room to offer help as needed)
"Alright, time's up! Now, I would like you to form small groups of four and share what you've written on your cards. Discuss the key points and examples you came up with. This is a great opportunity to learn from each other! You have five minutes for this discussion."
(Allow students to discuss in groups)
"Okay, everyone! I’d like you to hand me your filled-out cards. I will randomly check them to ensure that everyone has understood the main concepts without requiring public presentations. This is just to help me assess your understanding. Thank you for your participation!"
(Collect and review the cards briefly)
"For your homework, I want you to write a short paragraph about how understanding Tawheed might influence your actions and decisions in daily life. Think about one specific instance where you can apply this understanding. Make sure it's ready for our next class. Any questions about the homework?"
(Address any questions)
"Before we wrap up, let’s revisit what we’ve learned today about Tawheed. We discussed the three types: Tawheed al-Rububiyyah, Tawheed al-Uluhiyyah, and Tawheed al-Asma wa al-Sifat. Each type helps us strengthen our relationship with Allah and guides our daily lives. Do you have any questions or thoughts before we finish?"
(Address any final questions)
"Thank you all for your wonderful participation! I look forward to seeing you next class, where we'll explore more about how Tawheed affects our lives!"
