- To gain a overview into the contents and lessons from Surah Yaseen 36:13-32

Lessons:

• Do what is right regardless of whether people acknowledge or listen to us, Allah knows!

• Like the man who came running, we all have a duty to care for each other and use whatever we have to encourage goodness.

• Don’t think of any action as insignificant. In the eyes of Allah, your voice counts! The actions of Habib were loved by Allah and recorded for eternity in the Quran – he is given more mention than the messengers.

• Listen to the voice which comes from the heart. We have all been given an inner compass which points to Allah and the truth.

• Don’t blame others. You are the dictator of your own future by your intentions, thoughts, & actions.

• Use your chance today to turn to Allah and correct your actions otherwise it might be too late!

Surah Yaseen: The Message and the Messenger 1/2

Learning Objective:
- To gain a overview into the contents and lessons from Surah Yaseen 36:1-12

Key Learning Points:

The Quran is a book full of wisdom and teaches us how to make wise choices.
Wisdom is gained by applying the Quran and following the wisest guide, The Prophet and his family.
The Holy Prophet is one of the messengers on a straight path. He is the guide to follow and a warner against consequences of our own actions.
The Quran is a mercy from Allah – He hasn’t sent it down because he needs people to believe in him or obey him – he is Al Aziz not in need of power, He is the Mighty! He sent it out of his kindness Rahim.
There are some people who decide to ignore the warnings even though they know it’s the truth hence have lost the ability to be guided because they have become so stubborn. They have chosen to cover themselves from the truth. They are switched off their thinking and do not use their senses to see and listen.
Seeking forgiveness, recognizing Allah and following the Quran are the only way to come back to the straight path.
We will be brought back to life after death.
Everything we do is recorded as well as the good deeds that continue after us - a footprint. Need to be busy doing good to leave sparkly footprints!

Quranic Vocabulary

Yaseen, Quran, Hakeem/Wise, Mursaleen/Messenger, Sirat Mustaqeem/The Straight Path, Aziz/
Mighty, Raheem/Most Kind, Abaaoohum/Forefathers, Ghafiloon/Heedless, Haqq/Truth, Aghlaalan/Chains, Saddan/Barrier, Sawaaun/Same Tundhir/Warn, Qadamu/Footprints
