INTRODUCTION TO HISTORY
Allaah has revealed the Qur’aan as the final
guide to mankind. The Qur’aan contains various
commands relating to worship, monetary dealings,
and social conduct, as well as stories of the people
of the past. The Qur’aan informs us of the mission
of the Prophets of Allaah 8* and how communities
responded to the call of the Prophets
The purpose of these stories is to teach mankind
how mighty nations were destroyed, how truth
always prevails over falsehood, and how we can
learn from the history of previous generations.
Allaah says:
“Verily there is a lesson for people ofintelligence in
their stories”
(Surah Yoosuf, Juz 13)
History enables us to learn from the past. It gives
us the opportunity to change our present
circumstances and empowers us to plan for the
future. It serves to strengthen our faith in the mercy
ofAllah and as a reminder of how the wrath of
Allah destroys sinners.

28. Notes to the Muallim/ah---------------------------------------
Period 2
■ Put up the keywords and read it out to the
pupils and ask the pupils ifthey remember the
story. Give as many children the opportunity of
telling the story and encourage the shy one to
also try. InshaAllah in this way every child will
have an opportunity to learn the story.
%
Period 3
■ Now that everyone knows the story the main
points should be elaborated upon i.e.
1. The creation ofAadam 880 and Hawwaa
(alaihumas salaam).
2. The trickery ofthe Shaitaan.
Ask them to answer the questions orally.
Period 4
■ Colour in all keywords.
■ Revision of the story
■ This book has eleven lessons for the year.
■ The Muallim/ah must remember that many of
the children are not able to read and write as yet.
■ The Muallim/ah should make this period an
interesting one and should create the correct
environment.
■ Everybody loves stories and these lessons are sto­
ries, bur with a difference i."e. there are lessons to
be learnt.
■ Questions on each lesson should be done orally
with learners, as many have not as yet any writ­
ing and reading skills.
Method
Period 1
■ Ask the children to put everything away includ-
• ing rulers, rubbers, pencils etc.
Now begin celling the story ofAadam 850. Ask
the children ifanyone’s name is Aadam 860. If
there is no one with that name then ask them if
they know ofanyone with that name. Now ask
them ifthey know where that name comes from.
Some children may have an idea. Now go on to
tell the story beginning with the first point. Do
not concentrate too much on the vocabulary and
only highlight the keywords. After telling the
story once now ask one ofthe children to relate
die story that they have heard. They may not be
able to relate it accurately but the Muallim/ah
can help them along by filling in the gaps.
