LESSON 3: RESPECT TOWARDS PARENTS

LESSON 1: SALAAM-UN-ALAYKUM

We are Muslims, which means that everything we do is for Allah.

Allah tells us that all Muslims are brothers and sisters and                                                                                  that we should care for each other.

By saying Salaam-un-alaykum  you are not just saying hello, but you are telling 

the person that you care about them and you will not hurt them in any way because   

Salaam-un-alaykum means "Peace be on you." 

So before you talk to a Muslim you should first say Salaam-un-alaykum.  

 It is also good to shake hands with them.

When you wake up in the morning the first thing you should do is say 

Salaam-un-alaykum to your mom and dad.

If someone says Salaam-un-alaykum to you then you should 

reply with Wa-alaykum Salaam.                                                                                                                           Wa Alaykum Salaam means “And Peace be on you.”

Allah does not like for you not to reply to Salaam.

Remember all Muslims are brothers and sisters, 

so we should love and care for each other.

LESSON 2: TABLE MANNERS

When Zahra went home from School her mummy asked what she learnt today. 

This is how she explained to her mum what she had been taught about table manners.

Always wash your hands before you start eating.

Begin by saying “Bismil laahir Rahmaanir Rahim”

Take a pinch of salt before starting to eat.

Always eat with your right hand, and take small bites and chew the food.

Never talk with your mouth full or look at other people faces or plate while eating.

Don’t eat hot food or blow on it.

Do not over eat.  Always put a little food on your plate and add more if you are still hungry.

Finally thank Allah for the food he has given you by saying :

ALLHAMDULILAH (All praise is for Allah).

WORKSHEET 2: TABLE MANNERS 

Look at the pictures below and put a cross on all the pictures that show 

bad table manners and a tick on all the pictures that show good table manners:

Is it your best friend?                         OR                  Is it Superman?

Of course you know it is not them but 

your parents who are the most special people on this earth.   

Your parents love you and take care of you.

When you were babies and your weren’t

feeling well your parents kept awake all night

and made you comfortable. They fed you and

cuddled you when you were sad.

They always make you happy.

In the Holy Holy Qur’an Allah tells to us respects our parents. 

We must:

 -         never talk to them in a loud voice

-         never be rude to them

-         always make them as happy as they make us.

WORKSHEET 3: RESPECT TOWARDS PARENTS:

Can you think of different ways you can be kind and loving to your mother and father? Draw what you think would make them happy?
