Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah
Every little child that enters our classroom has to read at least 1 Salaah before going home.
Depending on seasonal time change, it should either be Zuhr, Asr or sometimes Maghrib Salaah also.
All 3 of these Salaahs are inclusive of Faraaidh and Sunan Raka’at.
As a teacher, we should ensure that all these are peformed at Madrasah (in congregation or individually) by every learner.
To ease the expectations and transition from other activities into Salaah time, here are some guidelines for teachers:
- Timeously ensure that bags and desks are arranged at the same time every day so that learners can form rows for Salaah
- Teach the importance of performing Salaah in straight rows especially for boys and appoint one learner to check each row if Salaah is not in congregation.
- If Salaah is being performed in congregation, the Imaam of the day should check the rows and straighten them.
- Honour the Imaam by placing a special Musalla/Sajjada/Prayer Mat for him
- If learners are reading aloud together (which proves to be effective for younger learners even upto 9/10years old) then ensure that every learner is recting aloud.
- The Salaah recitation can be used to revise previous/back surahs. A roster (spanning 1 a term) has been attached below.
- Ensure that the postures of every learner is continuously supervised and corrected.
- Ensure that the duas of every learner is also continuously supervised and corrected.
- If learners are erring in certain duas or surahs during Salaah, the onus is upon us to ensure that they learn it out of Salaah time correctly.
- The mood of the classroom at Salaah time should be utmost oeace and silence.
- Learners should be conscientised that this time is non-negotiable and utmost concentration is imperative.
- Girls should be made to stand at the back of the boys
The file below is a list of Salaah time guidelines. This can be placed at strategic points in the classroom and learners must be reminded of these weekly if not daily.
This file has a column for: day/date, Name of Pupil and 2 Surahs.
File 2 below is a Salaah roster that can be used to track which Surahs are going to be recited in the 1st 2 Rakaahs of the Fardh Salaah every day
The Surahs that have been added already are Surahs AdDuha to AnNaas of the Juz Amma. The 2 Surahs of these that have not been added are Surahs Al Bayyinah and Al Alaq.
And editable file of this has also been attached below.
If you’d like a roster to be created especially for your classroom, please Instagram message, comment below or email madrasahteacher@gmail.com
