ACTION PLAN

2013 THEME – PRODUCTIVE MUSLIM! With our theme of being a “Productive Muslim”, we will strive to aid

the Zerens to produce works that benefit the Ummah. Reaching out to the wider community via multimedia has become one of the strongest tools in spreading a message. Empowering the students with these tools will not only allow the Islamic Message to spread, but also encourage the kids to practice what they preach.

Some Workshops We Will Carry Out

TERM 1 MISSION

Continue with Asma AllahMost students have reached 50

names milestone. We will look at the deeper meaning of each

name and its application in our life.

Ummah faced.

as the jurisprudential elements – What is wajib and

mustahab?

Project: An interactive presentation will be required from students using “Prezi” explaining the spiritual and jurisprudential elements of either wudhu, salah, or dua

AkhlaqAlthough this will be covered through out the whole year,

Term 2 will especially focus on Akhlaq – using the stories of

the companions as a template.

Project: Students will be asked to make a poster of

one of the companions and a story from their life reflecting

their Akhlaq

TERM 3 MISSION

will be talking about taharah-najasah and halal -haram.

Segregated classes may take place, focusing on specific issues

per gender.

Project: Photography collages will be done with respect to halal-

haram food. This will help raise awareness of what we are really eating with respect to the fiqh as

well as our health.

merits of fasting, levels of fasting, and reform of the self.
