Concept 1: The Afterlife Journey
- PDF
Description
Assalamu Alaikum,
I'm excited to share an innovative new approach to teaching Islamic concepts to young students – through the power of storytelling.
My new "Simplifying Islamic Concepts for Young Children" section brings core Islamic teachings to life in an engaging and developmentally-appropriate way. Rather than dry memorization, students experience each concept within a narrative format.
The stories can then be leveraged across the curriculum. In Arabic class, students practice re-telling the stories in their own words. During Islamic Studies, the lessons and themes are analyzed and discussed. Quran instruction highlights where the concepts appear in our Holy Book.
By using story as the entry point, concepts like sacrifice, patience, and gratitude become real for students. They begin to internalize principles that will guide them for years to come.
I welcome you to learn more about how this multidisciplinary story-based method enhances learning and fosters a love for our precious religion. Together, through creative teaching, we can nurture the next generation of consciously faithful Muslims.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to sharing more on this approach to Simplifying Islamic Concepts for Young Children.
