Let Your Goodness Shine

Learning Objective:

- To understand how living like Imam Husayn shows in having beautiful manners that shine brightly to everyone around us. 

The names Hassan and Husayn come from the word hasana which means to be beautiful, to be good. Allah sent us Imams as examples to help us in our special mission on Earth; to beautify ourselves and everything around us by filling the world with good in everything we say and do. 

By going to mosque and listening to lectures, we learn about the Qur’an and Ahlulbayt. We are reminded of what we believe in, and how we should behave everyday. Living like Imam Husayn shows in having beautiful manners that shine brightly to everyone around us. When Imam Mahdi (atf) reappears, he will choose helpers who are shining brightest!

Activity: Glow Stick Flag

1. Hold up a dull, unactivated glow stick. Talk about what things we can say and do to make our goodness shine. 

2. As each child offers a suggestion, make a small break in the stick until eventually it glows all over.

3. Have the children fill out 3 ways they can make their manners shine bright.

4. Attach the glow sticks 
5. Switch off the lights and wave flags proudly while chanting 'Labbayk Ya Husayn'.

Be A Spark In The Dark

Even after all the hardship, suffering and wrong done by Yazid, the goodness of Imam Zainul Abideen and Lady Zainab continued to shine. They showed people what beautiful manners they had in the way they spoke and behaved.

It doesn't matter how dark it becomes, you can still see the light. It doesn't matter how bad people around you may be or what mean words they may say, nothing and no one can stop you from being and doing good. Nothing can stop your goodness from shining bright!

Wrinkled Heart

Learning Objective:
- Understand how different words feel differently when spoken. 
- Understand the effect of hurtful words as leaving a mark on the heart.
- Understand how to show goodness by using words correctly. 

Quran Verse:
Wa quloo lin naas husna
speak kindly to people 2:83

1. Have the children feel a piece of sandpaper and gently rub it over their arms. Talk about how it feels rough and hurts.
2. Have the children feel some cotton wool and talk about how it feels soft and gentle.
3. Discuss how different words feel differently when spoken. Some words feel rough and hurt the heart and others are soft and kind.
4. Use a large paper heart and ask for examples of 'sandpaper' words or phrases that make you feel sad. For each suggestion make a fold in the heart. Children can also do this on their own individual paper hearts or pass the heart around a circle and let each child have a turn.
5. Then talk about and have the children share 'cotton wool' words that make them feel good. For each response open back each fold.

Ask the children how the heart looks. Discuss the effects that hurtful behaviour can have on someone's heart as the wrinkles never come out completely.
Before we speak we must think and be smart. It's hard to fix a wrinkled heart.
