Nur Allah Service 11/17

At the Weekend School on Sunday we had a pretty short class. There was only one student for each group, so instead of doing any real assisting, I got to sit down and learn with our only student. We read Surah 86, “The Night-Visitant” which talks about how to treat non-believers, and how to guide them to Allah. We used an entirely Arabic Qur’an, which made it very interesting to try to find where I needed to be. We also had a fully English Qur’an with us to help with understanding. We talked a bit about the different versions of Qur’an available. We also talked about religion, and how religion comes from a debt that we feel toward our Creator for the life that we have and the things that we are given. Then the teacher had us play a game to assist in helping our student learn about debt and what it feels like to be in debt, and what it feel like to be out of it. Finally, we ate lunch, cleaned up and left. Though it was a short day, it was nonetheless quite rewarding.
